The Warning
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
The Biden campaign must mock Trump. Belittle him. Humiliate him. Cut him in 1000 different ways. Provoke him every day. Make Trump be the worst version of himself.
The question is, what will we do if Donald Trump wins the election? Let me be clear. I think that if Donald Trump wins the election , it will be a national catastrophe. Donald Trump will create, at the moment of his inauguration, a series of constitutional crises. He will seek to deploy the American military against the American people. He will subvert the Constitution at every turn and it will be a moment where resistance, real resistance, is required.
There will have to be millions of Americans on the streets protesting, shutting the country down when Donald Trump tries inevitably to grab the power that he's gonna try to grab outside the constraints of the rule of law. Understand this, Donald Trump is a former president whose lawyers made a legal argument that the presidency gives him the inherent power to assassinate whomever he wants, whenever he wants. For whatever reason, he chooses. It's absurd, but it's the Trump viewpoint and it's a very dangerous.
The question is, if you were running Joe Biden's campaign, what steps vis a vis strategy and messaging around turn out would you implement? How would you mitigate Biden's less than strong appearance and delivery? So that is the heart of the question.
Trump is the stronger communicator, Biden is the better person. Trump is the stronger communicator, Biden is the better president. Trump is the better communicator, but he is insane. Joe Biden is perfectly sane and perfectly competent. This election comes down to a very, very simple thing. Whomever the election is about is going to lose. And that was the case in Trump versus Hillary Clinton. The election had been about Trump all the way through to the very, very end, and then it became about Hillary Clinton in the final week thanks to James Comey.
The Biden campaign must mock Trump. Belittle him. Humiliate him. Cut him in 1000 different ways. Provoke him every day. Make Trump be the worst version of himself. Keep him off balance. Keep him responding. Trigger him. He should be provoked hour after hour after hour, every day. President Biden has to control the race. It will be a brutal, loathsome affair. The Biden campaign needs to embrace that. When Trump goes low, go lower, James Carville once said. When your opponent is drowning, throw him a fucking bowling ball.
And that's how you deal with Donald Trump. You attack him. You hit him. You hurt him every chance you have. Every day, every hour, every minute, every second. This should be the most aggressive political campaign that anybody has ever seen, any idea that Donald Trump is entitled to dignity, to respect is nonsense.

And here we go. Democracy will require attacking Trump's inauguration and overruling the vote of the people.
They are already laying the framework to justify abandoning every principle they swore by the last three years. It's really quite awe inspiring to see it happen in real time.
Seems to me that they are already trying to justify the exact same things they are accusing Trump of doing.
It would be better if you stopped enabling Donald Trump.
What principles are you talking about?
Democrats haven't had principles since Trump rode down the escalator to announce his presidency.
Ever since then it has been get Trump and anyone associated with him at all costs. Laws, Rights, and the Constitution be damned.
If he wasn't a lifelong crook, bigot, moron and cheat who tried to overthrow our government there would be no need to "get him".
Look what you put in the White House before you even think of speaking.
Whether you like it or not Trump has rights just like every other US citizen (including those criminals the left can't seem to do without).
From the Russian collusion hoax; to the Ukraine farce; to Jan 6th BS Democrats have violated every norm and standard.
Now they have violated the right to attorney client confidentiality; the right to a fair impartial trial; and the right to due process.
How many more laws should Democrats be allowed to break before they are held accountable?
Of course, the actually fighting will be done by someone else, maybe the same yahoos that created CHAZ? not our elitist Ivy league types, that would be beneath them.
Sounds like they are willing to say every Biden decision is bad but going after Trump is the only way he can win. If Biden does that he will still be seen as a dementia ridden old man who has been a complete failure going after a blowhard for being a blowhard.
Go for it Joe
Interesting that it seems that has been the very strategy used by some media and a few right here on NT. Hourly attacks on Trump. How has it worked so far?
As far as I am concerned we havent even gotten started yet.
By all means go for it. I predict it will get the same reaction as a hysterical person yelling louder because no one is listening to them. Or maybe a toddler that starts rolling on the floor when a regular tantrum does not get him what he wants.
He snuck into the superbowl and kicked the puppies.
Is that so ? LOL
Nothing you can say or do will make a difference as to keeping Trump from being elected.
Sure, why not?
Seems to me Texan that we already have that and it is only going to get worse. The thing is ,nobody listens to him except those on the left
I have a feeling if trump does win in Nov, it is just going to be a repeat of the last time he won from the left , more than likely more intense and virtolic, meaning more venom.
I really don't understand why anyone would want any job under those circumstances.
When the alternative is 4 more years of Brandon and Democrats wrecking this country- someone has to be sacrificed.
Why not someone who understands Democrats like Trump?
