Trump at the NRA today declared war on the republic. Joe Biden is the only one SAYING so...

[Hekate]

...out loud and unequivocally.

Thank all the gods he has decided to run.

How can we help make every other candidate say what Joe is saying? Everything else at this point is secondary. Really.

1. What did Biden say about it? NT

6. Biden's announcement video yesterday said it all, & today Trump doubled down on Charlottesville...

... adding lie after lie. According to him, "his" generals all admire Robert E. Lee as a great general, one of the all-time best.

It got worse. He told the NRA he had survived a coup, "and I didn't need a gun. I didn't need a gun." He said he had been up against spies from our own government -- did everything but call them jackbooted thugs.

Biden's announcement is worth listening to. He calls out the whole Charlottesville thing for what it was -- Nazis out in the open, just like Germany 1933. Hence Trump's response today.

8. Rev Al said Biden is brilliant at Rope a Dope

and 45 cannot resist a poke and will swing himself to exhaustion every time. He said it with great relish. 😄

2. Unfortunately for the others, they have the primary task of introducing themselves to a public

that is largely not paying attention and who probably could barely tell you who their own Senator and Congressperson are.

Biden is perfectly positioned to do so, as are those investigating Trump in Congress. It is a Catch-22 for most of the other candidates, though as focusing on Trump will bury their own messages.

3. I like that Joe is ruffling Donnie's feathers....

Joe Biden is a street fighter of another kind that can get under the skin of his opponent and stay rent-free in his head. Trump is going to fall into Joe's deft hands everytime.

4. It's a campaigning mindset.

Like Clinton, Biden can afford to run a general campaign message white stoping in areas that make sense to the primary. The lesser known shave to introduce themselves to the rest of the country.

That said, one of the lesser known candidates would garner a lot of positive primary attention if they lobbed absolute bombs at Trump. After all, they really need to target the Democratic base in a primary and so many people of color and women are open to the message of fuck Trump.

5. I think there is an extra "s" in your second sentence.
