Good discussion about Trump going after Biden.

1. Personally, I think most everything trump does is a mistake

[Pachamama]

2. Is it a mistake?

If it helps Democrats and in this case, Biden, it seems to me it isn't a mistake.....its a good thing....

3. Trump doesn't do much thinking; he just reacts.

So in that respect it is not a mistake. He can't help himself; he is a sick man, who does not think on the same level as most politicians.

7. This is what happens when u put an incompetent into a position of power

Who has no governing experience whatsoever, has demonstrated gross incompetence as a businessman, not to mention has no redeemable traits as a human being.

4. I assume his base thinks it's great

[greytdemocrat]

5. No.

It's way too early. And Trump
breaks all the rules.

Personally, I think Biden is making a mistake
running. He doesn't seem to really want it.
And I mean REALLY want. We'll see I guess.

8. Of course, Biden wants to

run. He told us why in his announcement Vid.

The giant forward steps we have taken in recent years on civil liberties and civil rights and human rights are being met by a ferocious pushback from the oldest and darkest forces in America. Are we really surprised they rose up? Are we really surprised they lashed back? Did we really think they would be extinguished with a whimper rather than a fight?

9. Don't agree.. I think he very much wants to run. Shows in his continence..his smile

[peggysue2]

11. Totally disagree

But for the death of his son, Biden was ready to run in 2016. This time, however, I think he's focused on the damage that Trump has done to the country and will continue to do if reelected. His message is one that should put a fire in the belly of all: we are engaged in a war for the heart and soul of America. He's running because he, as well as those who support his campaign, passionately believe he can win by snatching away the minuscule votes Trump presumably won in PA, MI & WI.

Saving the Republic is a big motivator. And if anyone doubts how serious the situation is I would recommend listening to a replay of the disgraceful performance of AG Barr and Republicans this past week. The Rule of Law is being shredded before our eyes. Our democratic institutions are being battered daily and Trump continues to give support to the worst elements in our society while scapegoating our most vulnerable.

It has to stop. Joe Biden can do that, will do that.

12. AGREE

6. and of course there are the attacks on biden...from the left nt

10. It's all cover and a distraction. He's a con man who knows

he can get away with anything, including election theft. So while he lulls us into a false sense of security of thinking that he's actually afraid, he's already coordinating the next steps with putin.
