Far from derailing his presidential campaign, as Team Biden so fervently hoped it would, Donald Trump’s conviction in the ridiculous New York case does not appear even to have impaired it.
I question whether Trump's get out the vote apparatus suffers from irrevocably lost time. Four-plus months seems like a long time to stand up and implement a get out the vote apparatus, particularly since I suspect it's already under way. It's still nearly three months until the first early voting. And I would like to see the breakdown in number of small donations. Common sense suggests, and studies confirm, that those who contribute to a candidate, in whatever amount, are more likely to vote than those who don't contribute. I doubt Biden's campaign ad head start will have much impact; I suspect ads airing near an election are more effective than those broadcast months in advance. Swing state polls indicate Biden's spending has not bought many votes. Jim Dueholm
