Yes, but Trump has to defeat Warren's ideology to win, anyway. If America is truly ready to embrace the era of "Free stuff for all - and we don't care if Stalin has to take over to give it to us!" then it doesn't matter which Democrat wins the primary.
Yes, I agree with the Trump’s Administration’s strategy to take Biden out and I think you gave the right rationale.
If Biden or another moderate is the nominee, Biden can shift to the center and attack Trump stronger.
We must also consider the possibility that a new candidate with financial muscle like Bloomberg or Schultz (Starbucks) could come in. So by pushing the weight towards the commie candidate, it’s less likely a last minute savior could come into the race, because the Radicals will cry foul and never show up at the polls.
By allowing Warren or another Radical to win, Trump can put all his attack against the strongest fear of the public — becoming a socialist/communist nation. That’s his natural strategy and he’s already set that up by focusing on the Squad.
I agree with you, Nathan, that Warren is a strong debater, but I think Warren is actually a less likeable a person than Hillary. Warren has zero personality.
If Warren complains about the economy, Trump can merely point to his great results and introduce the frightful specter of throwing prosperity away by becoming communist.
