Terry McAuliffe was recorded saying what many in the Democratic party believe. Biden’s best hope of winning the election is to stay off the campaign circuit and just issue statements from his basement hideout.
Biden is a gaffe machine and the basement strategy will only work until the first debate and that will hurt Biden tremendously because only voters would see him publicly would be in the debates. I personally think that President Trump will destroy him in the debates.
First of all, Biden makes huge gaffes even when he has a written text and advisors nearby to stop him from embarrassing himself. He will have none of that in the debates. Trump is a bulldog and I believe that he will keep Biden on the defensive all throughout the debate.
Biden will not be able to cancel any further debates because then voters will see he is scared. If we get then usual three debates, Biden has ample opportunity to sink his campaign in a seam of gaffes.
This is what top Democrats think about @JoeBiden:
“Stay in the basement.”
Biden is a threat to himself.
How long will media let him hide?https://t.co/QrKy054fMG

FOX News reports:
Terry McAuliffe recorded saying Dems prefer Biden stay ‘in the basement’
EXCLUSIVE: Top Joe Biden surrogate Terry McAuliffe told a videoconference meeting of Virginia Democrats over the weekend that the former vice president should remain in his basement — where he has famously campaigned remotely during the coronavirus pandemic — and that Democratic officials are broadly “preferring” that Biden stay out of the limelight.
Fox News has obtained a video of McAuliffe’s Norfolk comments, which came after Biden has made a series of gaffes in his already-limited public appearances as he social distanced from home — including by declaring that African-Americans who support President Trump “ain’t black.”
“People say all the time, ‘Oh, we got to get the vice president out of the basement,’” McAuliffe told the “monthly breakfast” of the Norfolk City Democratic Committee. “He’s fine in the basement. Two people see him a day: his two body people. That’s it. Let Trump keep doing what Trump’s doing.”
McAuliffe served as campaign chairman for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential run. At the Zoom videoconference, he was introduced by a senior Norfolk Democrat, Charlie Stanton, who compared soldiers who participated in the D-Day landing to modern-day Antifa members.
