This is coming from the Left & the Right. The Trumpster is already making jokes about it. I'm sure he's thrilled because Biden is a genuine threat to Trump's beloved base.

But, of course, you're correct: if not Joe Biden the scorched earth approach will be used on anyone perceived as a strong candidate. Kamala Harris, for instance.

Which is why an earlier post today was so very on the mark. Control the narrative or lose the entire storyline. These drip, drip, drip attacks are purposeful and will continue to try an undermine the Democratic Party, our candidates and our messaging.

We cannot allow that to happen because winning in 2020 is critical. If we want to have a country or a future, that is.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
