As Trump prepares for GOP convention, Democrats are plotting their own counter-progamming

As President Trump seizes the national spotlight next week for the Republican convention, Joe Biden’s campaign and other top Democrats are planning to mount an aggressive counter-effort to showcase the stark contrast between the two men and the two campaigns.

Democrats are preparing to release videos each day highlighting what they view as Trump’s biggest failures. Top party officials, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.) and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (Mich.) will speak each day.

The party is attempting to cast everything about Trump as chaotic and disruptive, from the way he runs the presidency to the items that appear on his Twitter feed, from his approach to the coronavirus to the speaking lineup for his nominating convention.

“Whereas our themes, our unity, and our speakers exude optimism and hope in the face of so many challenges, the Republican convention next week will be marked by chaos, chaos, chaos,” Tom Perez, the chairman of the Democratic Party, said on Friday morning.

And that was as far as I got. Snide commentary masquerading as reporting.

They just have to recount his record in office. In case it's slipped by the Post, Trump's tenure has been chaotic and disruptive. Trump may not like it, but its his own words and deeds. Maybe he'll sue, but I think a lawsuit styled as definition of character is likely to be laughed out of court.
