Biden fundraiser: 'It's clear that Donald Trump fears Joe'

"Joe Biden’s presidential campaign on Tuesday sent out a fundraising email to supporters citing President Trump’s repeated social media attacks against the former vice president, saying that the recent barrage is evidence that the White House fears a Biden challenge in 2020.

“He retweeted over 60 anti-Biden tweets in less than an hour. This is unprecedented. He’s never gone after a candidate like this before. It’s clear that Donald Trump fears Joe and wants to derail his candidacy,” the campaign said. “The attacks have already started and we need to be able to fight back. That means raising 25,000 grassroots donations before our mid-month deadline next week. If we are going to get there, we need every last supporter to step up,” it added.

Biden, who officially launched his presidential campaign in April after months of speculation, has quickly emerged as the primary pack’s pacesetter, emerging at the top of several national and statewide polls and raking in a staggering $6.3 million within the campaign’s first 24 hours.

Officials have privately told several media outlets that Trump views Biden as one of his biggest threats among the 22 current Democratic candidates because of his appeal to white working-class voters in the Rust Belt who historically voted Democrat but flipped in 2016.

of course he would be afraid of Biden who takes no prisoners.

Imagine Trump circling Biden menacingly in a debate like he did Hillary -- Biden would call him out and humiliate him. Anyone undecided who has seen the 2016 debate will start supporting Biden right then and there.

I wouldn't put much stock in anything he says. It does seem like he's becoming obsessed with Biden, though.

Second thing is, I don't think we should pay toooo much attention to whom Trump fears. Trump may think Biden or one of the others would beat him, but Trump could be wrong. He might think he'd win in a landslide against others, and he could be wrong about that.

Trump's crystal ball isn't any better than ours.
