Tactical Theory-We need a Candidate to be " The Rabbit"

The Rabbit is fast. And when it does strike there are brutal-rapid blows.

But mostly it would prefer to outrun its opponent & not be lunch.

.............

Trump plays a similar role but he's honey badger that got run over by the farmers tractor but survived albeit with brain damage.

..............

Point is he always attacks so give him something to chew on. Start demeaning his character-use his own words as a cudgel. Attack his family as they are totally fair game. Attack and then move on to the next attack.

This will keep Anus Lips McGeezer constantly responding. And when using his own words he is likely to include extra self incrimination because he's special that way.

Then the Coup de Gras.

Use the "A Few Good Men" tactic on him. On a issue where he obviously ignored the law-ask him why he did it. Of course he won't be able to deny the greatness of his decision and will openly admit to a unlawful act.


Will that be enough for his base?-doubtful.

But it should sway independents-Uncover weak areas and drive home the general malfeasance of his leadership. And be prepared to have that candidate demonized & persecuted by his minions & worse-our "attorney general" et all...

That is what the rabbit does. Takes the flak & generates the tone for the competition.


The plus for "The Rabbit" ?
A buttload of coverage . Cable feeds on this kind of stuff. And the candidate who attack him most vigorously will likely take the lead for a win.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

kind of thinking that is typical of Dems. Charts and graphs and facts and policies. Attack? Not really what Dems are known for, and to their detriment.

We have to fight now. FIGHT! Brutal rapid blows sounds right.
