Trump plots a political comeback based on the economy. Biden seeks to block him.

Trump’s advisers are plotting a political turnaround centered on his stewardship of the economy, seeking to exploit a rare bright spot in the polls against Joe Biden and vowing to usher in the “great American comeback” after the country plunged into a financial free fall on his watch.

Biden, under growing pressure from Democratic allies to wage a more aggressive rebuttal, plans to sharpen his economic focus in coming weeks with the rollout of new proposals to stimulate job creation, according to a senior campaign adviser. The campaign also plans to intensify its drive to remind voters of Trump’s sluggish response to the novel coronavirus and the unemployment spike that followed.

The dueling efforts come less than five months before Election Day. By almost every indicator, Trump’s bid for a second term is in peril, with Biden sprinting out to leads in battleground states and into competition in some conservative strongholds. But in a twist, the economy, which has been a bellwether in the modern history of presidential races, is one major domain where voters still give Trump encouraging marks.

Republicans are busy sniffing their own farts.

JOBS!!

DeSantis pretty much did the same.

Focusing on the economy is a winning strategy in FL and elsewhere.

1. Based on the trend line of Obama's last 66 months, the market would be 100 points higher, even with the recent overvaluation. The market success is Obama's success.
2. Unemployment is down? It was 3.5% when Obama left office, and only 4.6% among people with a HS diploma or less. It's now 15% and 19%.
3. GDP is shrinking. Under Obama it showed the third best growth period ever.
Everything PINO tries to claim, refute it. Pound the message home, hard.
"His facts are accurate, but what he's not telling you...". Over & over.

That's a good start.

And Trump's facts are never accurate. No reason to stipulate that. He straight-up lies on everything, then adds distortion and fantasy on top of that.

But, anticipate the "triumphs" to be declared and hammer home why they're nonsense.
I do like the approach of keeping the message simple & direct.

"Trump’s advisers are plotting a political turnaround centered on his stewardship of the economy, seeking to exploit a rare bright spot "


20 + Million people out of work, & growing, businesses closing permanently, ... Yup. Run on your amazing 'stewardship of the economy'.



"..plotting a political turnaround centered on his stewardship of the economy.."

That is such an insult. WHAT ECONOMY!

And that's just the reported #'s 😐

The weight of the human toll on our next President's shoulders is unfathomable.

That would be around 38 million.
So, recent, temporarily unemployed is probably as you suggest.
30 million or a bit less.

Y'know like point out that BunkerBoi is a lying sack of crap and has only ridden Obama's wave as far as jobs go.

So when the headlines says "block him" it sounds like he's trying to prevent any progress as far as jobs go. And nothing could be further from the truth.
