From the outset of President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, the plan for winning was to make former President Donald Trump so unpalatable that voters uneasy with the incumbent would vote for him anyway.
But now Biden is stuck in a political tailspin, with an abysmal debate performance highlighting his inability to make a case against Trump and prompting a collective national hand-wringing about his ability to do his job while an increasing number of House Democrats say he should leave the race. To get voters to focus on the threats posed by a second Trump administration, Biden’s own allies say he first must escape his current doom loop and convince voters — even and especially fellow Democrats — that he is up to the job himself.
Indeed, the Biden campaign has long sought to make Trump its focus.
That’s why Biden kicked off this year with a blistering speech about Trump’s attempt to overthrow the last election, why his allies spent millions to block the No Labels effort and why the president has tried to highlight the anniversaries of news regarding abortion rights.
And it is why Biden’s top aides thought it was a good idea to move the first debate from September to June.
“From the beginning, it’s been clear that Biden and the Democrats must make this election a choice, not a referendum on the president,” said Matt Bennett, a co-founder of Third Way, the Democratic think tank that has led efforts to stop independent and third-party candidates from siphoning votes from Biden. “That means focusing voter attention on Trump’s criminality, chaos and cruelty. Once we emerge from this period of uncertainty, the party must get back to prosecuting that case full time.”

Trump just needs to stay on message and propose solutions. Drilling, building back military, reforming the DOJ and other agencies, getting economy moving(by getting out of the way). Winning formula. Let the Democrats be the party of character assassination. Yoga pants Momns hate that.
The Liberals are finally drowning in their quicksand of vile sewage. They don’t have any sane pople left to save them.They have destroyed their cities, unions, schools LEO, healthcare systems and courts.
Where are they going?
When your opponent is sinking, stay deep and run silent.
By the convention the damage will be irreversible. The media needs red meat and it is Biden Biden 24/7 Democrats are really short sighted. We can see the pinhole leak overhead about to burst.
In the old days they had these things called “conventions” where delegates actually voted for the presidential nominee candidates.
:-)
Yes. Napoleon said, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
What is interesting is how Democrats are saying two contradictory things. They say Joe Biden loves his country while they attack him for his destructive hubris.
They have nowhere to go, their footprints are glowing with radioactive green material with everymovement they make.
The Destruction is planned.
Cloward-Piven
Out challenge at hand is to stop this NOW.
Other wise, it will not be a problems solved by the Ballot Box. But another Box.
There is only one type of good Communist.
Good. It is long past time that Europe stood on its own.
Well, do you think if Biden continues to refuse, the Deep State will solve it by another means?

I understand what you are saying but you need to understand they are not dead. We have not won yet.
I have vivid memories of shelling ear corn in the corn crib. The rats and mice did not die. They moved.
I cannot wait for the convention in CHICAGO. I want a rerun of 1968. I want chaos. I want them burned to the ground.
Yes. I expect that.
Look what happened in France. Macron blew it out his A$$.
Now the Communists and the Socialists totally control France.
Kiss of Death. Quick acting.
It will happen. Seems like there were close to 30 deaths over the weekend and 87 wounded in Block Parties?
God Help US(A) All.
That’s why I said I’d sure like to see how, because after what they did to bernie sanders in 2016 they are capable of anything
They have relied upon the USA since WWII. They are totally unprepared. And the public is disarmed. Fatal Error.
Correcto
Anything and nobody will touch them.
I don’t want them dead I believe in a two party system. As Trump said we all wished Biden had been a good president not Obama’s puppet.Biden could have done nothing and we would have been better off.

With phones that also function as cameras in everyone’s hands in 2024, the challenge for Americans observing both conventions from afar will be less censorship and a paucity of live imagery than the reverse – an overabundance of unsorted imagery, potentially coupled with a proliferation of disinformation, amplified by those with malicious intent.
There are many differences between the 1968 and 2024 conventions. One of the biggest is that now, the whole world is filming. The problem today is not how much we can see but how much we can believe.
It will be the same but different?
The Biden debate did shine the light on things and change opinions about Biden, but not much change in democrats goals?
The above is worth thinking about.
IMO, all President Trump has to do is contrast himself with the rats (not Slow Joe in particular), and present himself as a safe alternative. The public's memory is short, and he can pave over his image of a brash, boisterous bully with that of a calm, sensible statesman. He needs to reassure them. All it takes is percentage of independents.
