(56,319 posts)Sure, there's something to that argument.
But if Donnie wasn't depressed due to the suddenly being in a losing position to a girrrl, never mind a biracial minority, and possibly also having ptsd from the shooting, he'd simply say he clobbered Biden so bigly he forced him to give up before the election.
Under "normal" circumstances, he'd be crowing loudly about an unprecedented victory even before the election, and now he gets to clobber the backup candidate, democrats on the run, whatever.
So at a minimum, there's more going on than just annoyance at the change in plans. That said, they certainly did go all-in on a Biden-bashing story and are struggling to find a strategy that works against Harris.
It's a testament to one of the flaws of the politics of personal destruction. Had they been attacking administration policies, that would have easily carried over to a campaign against the vice president. Instead they hammered very personal stuff like hunter and Biden's age. Pretty useless now that Harris is the candidate.
