Trump's bag of tricks comes up empty against Biden
Interesting read from Politico. While I cannot stand Trump or Giuliani, I had forgotten what a truly awful creature Newt Gingrich was and apparently still is. He's part of the Trump machinery. The breakdown in our political system is, at least in part, directly attributable to this snarling, vicious person.
Good grief, how can these liars say the country is not in chaos? We may be dumb, but we ain't stupid.
Newt Gingrich sees things a little differently. Gingrich, who lives in Rome, where his wife Callista serves as Trumps ambassador to the Holy See, said he has been re-reading campaign books from the 60s and 70s and is convinced Trump can reverse his fortunes. Trump, in his view, is still using Nixons strategy of 1968, when he was an outsider, but he needed to adopt Nixons strategy of 1972, when he was the incumbent president running for reelection. Its not a great analogy because Nixon benefited from a good economy. But the gist is for Trump to stop emphasizing that the country is in chaos. (Why would voters reelect the person presiding over chaos?)
