Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Trump's advisers are encouraging him to only attack Pelosi, not Biden or other 2020 contenders
According to a report at the Washington Post, White House advisers to Donald Trump are encouraging him sometimes to no avail to make House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) the main subject of his ire and not former Vice President Joe Biden.
The reason? They fear Trumps attacks on Biden enhances his run to be the Democratic nominee in the 2020 presidential election.
In a deep dive into how both Trumps people and Pelosis advisers view the battle between the two figureheads of their parties is going both claim they are coming out ahead comes news that close advisers to the president prefer talking about Pelosi than Biden because they dont want to give his fledgling campaign more oxygen.
Those same aides also want the president to hold his fire on other Democratic presidential contenders, with the Post reporting, White House aides also said it was better for Trump to be fighting with Pelosi than former vice president Joe Biden or other 2020 candidates, as the president has done recently, elevating their status.

(12,489 posts)4. It exposes his fears of Biden! A tweet here or there is one thing, but folks notice OBSESSION
And as we've seen, its his own mouth that gets him in the most trouble.
Even with the Meuller report, it wasnt the Russians who have caused him this current pain, it was the revelations of his own mouth fomenting obstruction!
He just cant help it.

won't hurt candidates who attract people who like that.
Wish I could reject a candidate who fits that behavior, but never made my list in the first place.
