Dewey Defeats Truman

[SmokingJoe]

Pretty much.
As far as I know, no one has ever won the presidency with a basement dwelling campaign approach.
Closest I can see was the 1900 campaign between McKinley and William Jennings Bryant.
McKinley just stayed at home, yes, while Bryant traveled all over the country and campaigned hard. Bryant still lost.
But, McKinley had a very dynamic Theodore Roosevelt as his VP candidate and Roosevelt campaigned vigorously all over the country for McKinley. Roosevelt was simply bubbling with energy and still young.
Plus McKinley himself held big rallies from the front porch of his house.
By contrast, both Hiden Biden and Kamala are nowhere to be found.
That kind of approach is simply not going to do it. Just TV ads never won an election for anybody.
