Joe Biden faces the Trump fusillade. Are he and his campaign up to it?

[left-of-center2012]

Some of Joe Biden’s supporters are voicing growing concern that his campaign is not prepared to weather the dual political rip currents suddenly reshaping the 2020 race — an onslaught of attacks on his family from President Trump and a tightened contest for the Democratic nomination.

Several allies, including top financial backers, are weighing whether to create a super PAC to independently defend Biden and go after the president, who has repeatedly accused the former vice president of corruption and whose campaign last week launched a $10 million ad blitz aimed largely at attacking Biden.

Other supporters caution that a more aggressive approach could cut against Biden’s above-the-fray appeal and warn him against losing sight of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), whose steady march in popularity has eroded Biden’s standing and given her narrow leads over him in several recent polls in early-voting states.

-- SKIP --

Biden’s campaign for now seems to have settled on an approach similar to the one Democrats used in the 2018 midterms, trying to ignore Trump as much as possible to focus instead on issues they believe are more resonant with voters.

4. Trump will go on the attack on anybody who is the front runner.

Joe can handle it as well as any of the other candidates if not better.

What is happening here is Trump's actions are screaming that Biden is who he fears most.

11. That Cheetolini, Moscow Mitch, and Russia are going on the attack reinforces my support.

I know I have backed the right candidate when the attack machines are in full swing.

The candidate that would concern me is one that Fox News treats kindly, has had indictments issued out there that shows Russia supported their own candidacy, and gets very little commentary at all from the Cheeto.

12. Yes

13. Why give Orange Idi Amin this agency?

Can he face up to the Biden Fusillaade? Look how they are making it about Trump being "strong."
