Yes, put all the focus on "ignoring trump" while excluding what his partisans like Rudy G are saying in its totality. Oh the Trump in-humanatee!!!
Talking about Trump. You should see my eyes reading the comments on Foxnews article about 29% approval rating. Not a ton of Trump supporters saying much. Probably skipping that article.
Ain't talkin' about Trump Trump is rotten to the core Ain't talkin' about Trump Just like I told you before
bump for relevance https://althouse.blogspot.com/2024/07/go-after-trump-on-substantive-issues.html "[Go] after Trump on substantive issues. That's what I've said many times I wish Biden had been doing..." by noreply@blogger.com (Ann Althouse) "Biden and the Democrats have gone on and on about Trump, the bad bad man — gone on in words and gone on in bringing criminal prosecutions. Tragically, they've done it to the point where they look as bad or worse in their own way and now we who want a man of character have no one to choose...." That's what I wrote last April. I thought about that when I saw this new NYT piece, "Biden’s Strategy to Make the Race About Trump Is Suddenly in Doubt/The Biden campaign’s effort to raise questions about Donald J. Trump’s ability to be president has boomeranged into a referendum on the president’s own competence" (by Reid J. Epstein). From the outset of President Biden’s re-election campaign, the plan for winning was to make former President Donald J. Trump so unpalatable that voters uneasy with the incumbent would vote for him anyway... [T]he Biden campaign has long sought to make Mr. Trump its focus.... A pre-debate memo from Jen O’Malley Dillon... wrote that the president “will hold Donald Trump accountable for all of it on the debate stage — and he’s raring to go.” That didn’t happen.... There is no doubt in Democratic circles that Mr. Biden must make the election about Mr. Trump, as he did in 2020.... [He] won support from Republicans and other voters who sought a return to normalcy in Washington, he ran as a transitional candidate. He said he saw himself “as a bridge, not as anything else”.... The piece quotes Matt Bennett, "a co-founder of Third Way, the Democratic think tank that has led efforts to stop independent and third-party candidates from siphoning votes from Mr. Biden": "That means focusing voter attention on Trump’s criminality, chaos and cruelty. Once we emerge from this period of uncertainty, the party must get back to prosecuting that case full-time." So the recommendation is to stick with the plan to make it all about Trump, the bad bad man.
