The Rethugs are testing lines of attack against former VP Joe Biden and they don't appear to be working -- for now:
"Private Republican polling has shown Mr. Trump slipping well behind Mr. Biden in a number of key states. Perhaps just as troubling for Mr. Trump, it has raised questions about whether his efforts to tar Mr. Biden are making any headway.Be assured that Trump, having run an ultimately successful dirty campaign against Hillary Clinton, will try that approach again with Biden. But given Trump's manifest mental instability, disastrous handling of the coronavirus response, and swamp-level corruption, he has a record to defend, and the election will be a referendum on him.
Last month, a poll commissioned by the Republican National Committee tested roughly 20 lines of attack against Mr. Biden, ranging from the private business activities of his son, Hunter Biden, to whether Mr. Biden has 'lost' a step, a reference to mental acuity. None of the lines of attack significantly moved voter sentiment, according to two people briefed on the results. There were some lines of attack that had potential, one of the people briefed on the results said, but they were more traditional Republican broadsides about issues like taxes." (our emphasis)
It's all hands on deck to defeat Trump in November; no excuses.
Mr. Biden is becoming a POTUS thorn in Little Donnie's ass.(A Very LARGE thorn indeed) Where were all these Bad things Mr. Biden supposedly had done during his 8 yrs as VP (& before)?
ReplyDeleteEven "IT jr." is out speaking shit!!!
This is NOT gonna be a "fun" campaign. I just worry about Mr. Biden. He can be America's only a somewhat sane future. He needs to ( & I think he does)have to know what a maniacal person Insane trump ( & his people) are, & GO STRONGER !! DAMN !!!
Oh, & what is it with Idiot in Chief & his sticking out his tongue when speaking?? Trying to keep his teeth in place? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!!!
FM -- It will be important for not only Biden but his VP pick and all of his surrogates to hammer Trump hard. It may fall to outside PACs to do the really dirty work on Trump.
ReplyDeletePart of the overall picture is that because Trump and his party have lied about literally everything during this disastrous term, it's hard for any news item or publicity stunt or political attack to gain traction. They cry “Wolf!” so often that even the devoted Trump cult can't keep up. They needed him to coach them at each new pep rally so they knew when to say “Lock her up!” or “Drain the Swamp!”
ReplyDeleteNot that Biden's safe, nor will they stop coming up with crap to fling at him, but Biden so far has been able to deflect the damage. Let's hope he can outlast them.
donnah -- Good points about the "cry wolf" aspect. There will be a desperate shitstorm of false accusations, etc. as Trump gets closer to the election. Biden and his team need to be prepared like they've never been before.
