In music class, my teacher had an analogy he'd bring up occasionally: the trashy, beat-up truck on the block could be rolled down a hill sans-driver and you'd hardly noticed a difference. On the pristine rolls royce, though, the smallest imperfection would be glaring.
He was using it as an illustration that, even as we got better, it would just be more important to put the effort in, but I feel it applies well here, too. Trump is covered in so much shit, it's difficult to focus on any particular issue of his. And while Biden's far from spotless, his errors stand out so much more that he basically needs to be perfect or he gets picked apart by his own side.
These are two very old trucks though.
