Biden campaign reaches out to ‘disaffected Republicans,’ who reach right back
Fox News ^ | May 11 2020 | Paul Steinhauser, Madeleine Rivera, Allie Raffa

As Joe Biden works to unify the left flank of the Democratic Party, the former vice president’s also looking right, in an effort to woo Republicans dissatisfied with President Trump.

And some of those Republicans are looking right back, with talks underway between leading never-Trumpers and the presumptive presidential nominee’s campaign.

Biden’s camp on Monday confirmed that outreach to “disaffected Republicans” was underway.

“Disaffected” is just a code-word for “never-been” and “traitorous”

The mailman’s son won’t commit because he knows to oppose Trump would put the kibosh on his 2024 presidential hopes.

I wonder if Trump is reaching out to disaffected democrats? I think he has been doing exactly that.

There are several Democrats at Yahoo who have said they have left the Democratic Party. Tired of their lies and their destructive ways and that they are voting to re-elect President Trump. As you can imagine, a few of the die-hard fools are like...

There simply isn’t any realistic data to say how many Democrats left for Trump. Across all the categories (older retired Democrats, blacks, working class, Latinos)....I would guess one out of ten in the 2016 election group have vacated the Democratic Party.

I suspect this is the big reason driving the mail-campaign for voting....to just invent two or three million votes out of thin air....to marginalize those who left.

I thought Trump had 96 percent approval in the Republican Party. So three Fox twits play Asspress and write about four percent? There are far more Democrats who won’t vote for Biden. This is disinformation.

You can bet the Democrats are skeered.

There was no one with more comments hating on him than...Joe Biden at Yahoo. I’d be surprised if 10%-20% turn out for him except in rabid liberal areas.

Of course the Democrat die-hards hate President Trump the most. It’s what the MSM has them do. But when Joe first announced, it seemed like 90% of the comments were against him.

But if I suggest that Hillary and DNC will sideline Joe, well, that might be considered tinfoil. I predict Hillary as VP and then Joe retires for “personal reasons and to spend more time with family”.
