Trumpworld Only Has Eyes for Warren and Biden

[bluewater]

As Democrats compete for the 2020 nomination in a field that’s shown only flashes of winnowing, Republicans have set their sights squarely on the duo they think could realistically earn the party’s top spot to compete against President Donald Trump: former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

Interviews with nearly a dozen senior Republicans, including top officials and strategists on Trump’s re-election campaign and GOP operatives directly familiar with internal deliberations, reveal the president’s party believes the top contenders for the Democratic nomination are unlikely to change. Barring some unforeseen event that would scramble the current field, the long-term strategic moves are centered around a Biden or Warren primary win

.

Some of Trump’s election-related moves have been transparent. When Biden’s team launched a $6 million ad buy across Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina calling the president “unhinged,” for example, the president’s campaign was right there to counter the effort, unleashing its own ads targeting the former vice president in the same group of states.
Other calculations have been less overt.

Warren’s rise this summer surprised Trump’s inner circle, who counted her out after her widely panned reveal of the results of a DNA test to prove her Native American ancestry following sustained trolling by Trump.

But as Warren’s fundraising and recent polling occasionally surpassed Biden’s, members of Trump’s campaign and political operation began to see her as a more formidable candidate, even as the odds-on favorite to eventually face off against the president.
“It’s impossible not to notice that Elizabeth Warren has moved significantly in the polls,” one Trump campaign official said. “Our job is to be ready.”

Both Warren or Biden will beat tRump like a drum. Our long national nightmare of the Trump presidency is going to end in 2020.

VOTE BLUE, NO MATTER WHO.

1. Yes! We vote blue no matter who!

[DownriverDem]

4. True, but

remember it is Biden who trump doesn't want to run against. With Warren, I don't see folks being aware of the misogyny that will be with her.

5. Oh, I think that we have

an inkling.

2. Any of a couple hundred million Americans would be a better president.

But not any of the turd third that still support this mess.

3. Since it looks like one of them will be our nominee I would expect

them to be the targets of Trump's attacks. I don't know if the Ukraine slander will eventually hurt Joe with the general public but it hasn't made a dent in his Democratic support. If Warren emerges as the front runner the Trumpists will have to come up with something better than the Pocahontas slur.
