of the Left is to legally tie down Trump and make it impossible got him to go out on the campaign trail.
But I suspect it won’t work. Americans are very likely to be sympathetic toward someone who is very clearly being victimized and unfairly treated. And that’s not all!
But so far, the strategy may have inadvertently highlighted Biden’s weaknesses, and Trump’s strengths, on the campaign trail.
The left’s spittle-lipped Trump tantrum is likely to alienate more voters than it attracts. If they think a display of “ugly” is a good marketing tool for them, they are sadly mistaken.
An article in the Daily Beast suggested that Trump’s bodega visit “should scare the hell out of Democrats” because of the presence of some Hispanic voters who clearly no longer feel any obligation of loyalty to the Democratic Party.
But Democrats have ceded the moral high ground to Trump on this, and put all their eggs into one foam-flecked basket. And by keeping Trump hobnobbing with bodega owners in the city, are they actually putting NYC at risk?
Probably not, but still, imagine this happening day after day after day… Even if it doesn’t flip New York red, might this resonate with regular people in other states and cities?
Democrat effort to “hang” Trump through lawfare could possibly boomerang on them!
In short, Biden’s two quick-stop visits simply did not have the flair that Trump’s did. Indeed, it seemed weird that Biden copied what Trump was doing in the first place.
… Biden is just not creating the level of enthusiasm needed to roll to victory. Maybe that will change. Maybe Biden will pick up, or maybe Trump’s trials will eventually make Republican voters less enthusiastic about him. But remember: Some Democrats hoped indicting Trump would push him out of the race. That plan backfired. Now some of those same Democrats hope putting Trump on trial will push him out of the race. Yes, that plan might work, but it also might backfire. Just look at the lessons of Chick-fil-A and the bodega and Sheetz and Wawa.
