With three months to go until the election, stir up doubts about Biden's "corruption" with warmed over Burisma bullshit. They knew that they would have to thread the needle again this year, after barely squeaking out a victory over Hillary in a few swing states by spreading FUD about her health and her -- horror of horrors -- emails. They planned to do the same thing to Biden -- use right wing media and social media to cast doubts about him as a candidate, while banking on a strong economy to make enough voters decide to stick with Trump.

As if impeachment over Ukraine didn't do enough damage to their Biden project, the pandemic and subsequent economic crash has completely blown it out of the water. Yet they seem absolutely fixated on running with the exact same playbook. Sad. It's going to amount to a fart in a hurricane, but I guess they have nothing else.
