Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Trump Can't Stop Attacking Biden. G.O.P Strategists Wish He Would.
Trump Cant Stop Attacking Biden. G.O.P Strategists Wish He Would.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/14/us/politics/trump-biden-2020.html
Early this month, as Mr. Biden began his campaign with the endorsement of the firefighters union, Mr. Trump unleashed a barrage of almost 60 tweets and retweets about his own support from rank-and-file union members, signaling his anxiety about Mr. Bidens standing with a crucial constituency. Aides have said that Mr. Trump is keenly aware that he won in 2016 with support from union voters who did not follow their leaders in backing Hillary Clinton.
But after all that, he then likened Mr. Bidens bid to his own 2016 campaign, in which Mr. Trump never relinquished the lead after ascending in the polls, and suggested Mr. Biden would probably be the Democratic nominee.
Mr. Trumps attacks on Mr. Biden have defied the pleadings of his own aides, who think almost any other candidate would be easier to defeat, and left Republicans puzzled while delighting Biden supporters.
It just shows everybody that the vice president is the candidate Trump is most concerned about, said Representative Cedric Richmond of Louisiana, a Biden supporter, adding with evident relish: He just cant help himself during executive time.

So Trump's attacking Biden with a fixation of fear they can't stop.
Good. Perhaps he sees the specter of an Obama legacy he can't destroy.
