According to a report from the New York Times Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Martin, a key talking point that the Republican Party as well as embattled GOP candidates seeking to hold into their seats hoped to use this election season is being taken away from them because of Donald Trumps flip-flopping.
At issue were plans by the Republican Party to make China a central issue as the 2020 election heated up, blaming one of the United States largest trading partner for the coronavirus pandemic while also linking the country to former Vice President Joe Biden who is expected to the Democratic Partys presidential candidate.
According to the report, the GOP is having to retool their plans because of the presidents unreliability and inability to stay on message.
The strategy could not be clearer: From the Republican lawmakers blanketing Fox News to new ads from President Trumps super PAC to the biting criticism on Donald Trump Jr.s Twitter feed, the G.O.P. is attempting to divert attention from the administrations heavily criticized response to the coronavirus by pinning the blame on China, the report begins. Republican senators locked in difficult races are preparing commercials condemning China. Conservatives with future presidential ambitions of their own, like Senators Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley, are competing to see who can talk tougher toward the country where the virus first emerged. Party officials are publicly and privately brandishing polling data in hopes Mr. Trump will confront Beijing.

(118,808 posts)innocents with COVID-19 with his Liberate tweets. That is the point. It is not a well thought through strategy to liberate people from liviing as Trump was doing with his liberate campaign, also to bankrupt Liberal governors which would directly attack the obama-obama-trump voters and their wellbeing. I think labelling Biden as pro communist is just reusing the anti socialist campaign they had planned to run against Bernie. They got nothing. I wonder if not enabling testing is so there will be no narrative of who and when COVID-19 spreads when it spreads again because contact tracing will tell a detailed story if it had the funding.

I suspect they're already treading on thin ice.
