4. She'd have to campaign in a whole new way

Because of the coronavirus, the traditional campaign process where the two candidates stop doing everything and just give speech after speech to rally after rally will not happen this time.

My recommendation is for the campaign to send a pro-quality video camera and some LED lighting panels, an operator, a lighting person and a makeup artist to Lansing to create daily Five Minutes with Gretchen YouTube videos. She's smart and well-spoken, and could definitely pull it off while also working to solve the pandemic in Michigan.

And if Trump tries to exploit this? Shoot a video of a boy's hands tweeting on a phone taped to a golf club, put it on a monitor, have Gretchen point to it, and simply say "When President Trump isn't making things worse, this is what he's doing: Tweeting and golfing."

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
