Trump re-election strategy: Biden to do away with 'law and order', is insider, lacks mental capacity

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/27/trump-losing-2020-election-342326

Donald Trump knows he's losing.

The president has privately come to that grim realization in recent days, multiple people close to him told POLITICO, amid a mountain of bad polling and warnings from some of his staunchest allies that he's on course to be a one-term president.

----------------

People involved in the campaign say they have settled on two main avenues to go after the former vice president: That he’s beholden to liberals who want to do away with law and order, and that he’s a consummate Washington insider.

The campaign has begun a massive TV ad campaign going after the 77-year-old former vice president, including over his mental capacity and his nearly five-decade political career. Hoping to make inroads with African-American voters, Trump's campaign is running ads slamming Biden over his central role in the 1994 crime bill.

The commercials are airing in an array of states including Georgia, a traditionally red state where Trump suddenly finds himself in a fight. The cash-flush campaign is expected to remain on the TV airwaves in a host of key states through the election.

He’s going to look stupid going on the offense when he has so much horrible stuff to answer for.

Obama's list was long, Trump's list was blank. Trump is teflon to some

Despite Drumpf’s random “Law & Order!” tweets, I don’t think he’s going to get traction with any of these things.

The administration newly installed task force to protect confederate monuments and targeting "other than" conservatives, right wingers, KKK, confederate lovers, white nationalist, Q, Nazis, et al., - will backfire.

Americans are "concerned" about the pandemic and the economy and equality.

But that "strategy" won't win a single cross-over vote by a Dem or an Independent.

He needs tens of millions more to swing to his side, out of an electorate that's hell-bent to bounce his ass out of office.
