The best way to stand out at the first 2020 Democratic debates “is to ignore the desire to create a viral moment,” seven Democratic strategists tell Axios.
“Twitter rewards viral moments, but that doesn’t mean the Democratic primary electorate does… Instead, the strategists advise, make sure voters know who you really are — and find a chance to take on President Trump, because that’s also a way to take on Joe Biden indirectly.”
“The bottom line: This first debate is simply an introduction, and you know what they say about first impressions.”
