Why is Trump still attacking Biden so hard?
Because Trump is scared shitless of him.
Trump is scared shitless of everyone. That's what it is, being a paranoid thin-skinned narcissist with a brain rotted by stimulants and venereal disease. I wouldn't trust Trump's take on electoral calculus, for or against.
He wasn’t scared of Bernie.
Because Bernie never came close to getting the nomination.
I'm a two-time Bernie voter. But what I wanted the outcome of the primary is different than what we got.
Which was why Trump was fighting for Bernie to run against him.
Did you expect Trump to hype up his political opponent?
He fought to run against Bernie because Trump knew Bernie would be easy to beat.
If Biden is as easy to beat as some say why try to push him away?
Biden is the presumptive nominee. If Trump didn't attack his prospective opponent at every opportunity, he would be, and as ridiculous as this is to imagine, even stupider than he is now.
Trump has suddenly began attacking Kamala in speeches. It's quite clear GOP agree Biden is their easiest opponent, too.
Ok, we’ll see what happens and re-visit this conversation in a couple months.
We’re both just speculating right now anyways.
Well that feels a bit like goalpost moving, but sure I guess we will for better or worse.
Do you understand what goalpost moving means?
In a couple months we'll know what happened, the stuff we're speculating about right now, and we'll know who is wrong and right.
How is this goalpost moving?
You say: "But Trump is still talking about Biden!"
I say: "Actually his latest speeches have begun targeting Kamala directly"
You say: "okay well maybe he is, but we're all just speculating!"<- moving the goalpost
Do you at least understand how this sounds? Conviction, followed by being demonstrably wrong, then hiding behind speculation.
Is not:
I never agreed with you, I just conceded that the outcome is unknowable at this point.
It's an objective fact that he is talking about Kamala, though? Sure how much that impacts the end-result, we don't know.
I haven’t talked about Kamala, you have.
Trump attacks windmills in his speeches I’m keeping you on topic on the subject that Trump is scared of Biden.
Anyways, we’ll revisit this conversation in a couple months and see who is right.
Seems awfully convenient that Trump is suddenly pivoting from attacking Biden hard, to attacking Kamala and Biden less hard, but okay. If I misunderstood, then sorry. Yes, time will tell.
Trump isn’t attacking Biden less hard.
Kind of zero sum. If he's spending any more time attacking Harris, then that ostensibly detracts from time he otherwise would've been attacking Biden.
Or he could cut it from the time spent attacking low flow toilets.
Well, I suppose you're right there.
Trump just enjoys being mean and Biden is currently his opponent. When given the choice between shutting up and cruising to a victory and screaming nonsense(while cruising to a win because his supporters are objectively incredibly stupid people) he’s gunna choose screaming nonsense every time.
