Why haven't they succeeded? Maybe they are doing all the right things but they get no airtime because Trump is crazy and crazy people get noticed. Trump's crowds are crazy so when he speaks and there is a crowd the press is there When Biden speaks to crowds no press shows up for the simple fact he's not crazy. Your drunken uncle will be more fun at a family gathering then your sober father, but it's your sober father who cares for you and shows up at your soccer game.

Yes, the airtime is completely different for the two candidates and the crazy one is way more interesting. But a successful campaign targets the voters they need to persuade and reaches out to them directly. I will be canvassing for Biden in WI this summer, so I will learn more about what the campaign is doing to reach and persuade those swing voters.
