Democrats are experts at wonky logic, but you need Republicans if you want to tear somebody's face off.

Helps that he's got an R behind his name.

I believe it has helped bring on board many who stopped out of sheer horror, from affiliating themselves with Trump Repubs.

Whatever it takes! 👍

they weren't aimed at hard-core Trumpers, although they were aired on Fox. They were aimed at undecideds, and at Trump himself, which is one important reason they were on Fox. They were trolling him, probably trying to goad him into more and more offensive outbursts. They really know how to push his buttons.

Any attacks against Biden's health, physical or mental, would not make sense given Trump is likely in worse shape.

Regardless, the American people need to know the true physical condition of the POTUS.

Earlier asking about why he was rushed to Walter Reed last November. And more recently asserting that he should disclose his medical records. In between is the "Brace for impact" tweet.

There's supposedly a reveal about Trump's taxes that blows his secretive cover.

Or perhaps they found the truth about Trump's hospital visit last fall. Is he a COVID spreader?

I have so many wishes for this thing from RWilson

They are never-Trumpers and while I love and share their videos I recognize that they are still Republicans. Their goal is to get trump out of office, then they'll leverage their power to elect Republicans in 2022 and 2024.
