Trump is choosing to stay off the campaign trail for the next two weeks? It just seems like a weird choice.

That's the thing - he's like *not* staying off the trail, he's just doing something else.

Which is absolutely the right choice for a campaign which is, again, only three weeks old. In the very earliest stages of a campaign, you're just starting out. The candidate almost certainly isn't ready to start speaking extemporaneously on every single issue that might come up - she's only been the candidate for three weeks!

She's the sitting Vice President. She owns the Biden/Harris record. Having her not prepared already is an indictment of their administration.

She's been very busy compressing literally months of campaign preparation (hiring people, formalizing position papers, setting campaign strategy) in to the space of days.

Somewhat, but she inherits the democrat machine - that means she gets all the Biden apparatus intact plus all the Obama people they brought in to run her campaign.

And unlike a normal primary campaign, where fielding questions in September the year before the election offers a candidate an opportunity to refine themselves with relatively low stakes during pre-season, we're already in the fourth quarter of the finals.

Again, it's not like she's some random Senator or governor - she's the sitting Vice President of the United States and the #2 executive officer in the country. If she doesn't know what to say about the stuff that she's supposedly been deeply involved in for 3 years that's not a great sign.
