On Trump’s Three Joes

You can expect Trump to portray Biden as three different repulsive personas:

1. Sleepy Joe: The doddering old guy who probably can’t even remember how to make breakfast each day.

2. Creepy Joe: The creepy old guy with his hands all over you who tried to stop corruption fighters in Ukraine.

3. Wimpy Joe: The guy who doesn’t stand up to China, like our fearless hero.

Biden has decades of public service under his belt, and the public already knows him and his story, so this approach is unlikely to work. His job is to prove that he isn’t sleepy, creepy, or wimpy during the campaign. That shouldn’t be too hard.

Trump, on the other hand, condemns himself by his own mouth every day. This campaign is going to be a referendum on him and his record. If he can persuade a majority of the American people that he is the safe choice, in spite of everything, more power to him, and God help us all.
