Donald Trump fears only one Democrat: Warren Sanders

There aren’t 20 Senate Republicans with enough integrity to remove the most corrupt president in American history, so we’re going to have to get rid of Trump the old-fashioned way – by electing a Democrat next 3 November.

That Democrat will be Warren Sanders.

Although there are differences between Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, I’m putting them together for the purpose of making a simple point.

There is no evidence that Donnie fears Warren and Sanders more than for example, Biden. In fact, head to head polls have overwhelmingly shown Biden to be the best performer against Trump, with a new CNN poll showing Trump and Biden just one point apart in Texas of all places. Also, Donnie’s desperate effort to find dirt on Biden also demonstrates who Donnie is most afraid of.

Warren, maybe.

Sanders--well, I suppose it's nice to dream, but he wont' be the nominee. His followers don't grasp the fact that the vast majority of the Democratic base--namely women and minorities--don't care for him at all. They know a shameless panderer to white male privilege when they see one, better than anybody.

Warren is more energetic than fatso Trump, and she is 10 times m ore eloquent than Trump.
I will pay good money to watch them debate in the presidential debate forum.

therefore Biden will remain Trump's main target for the time being.
If the primaries change that picture, I am willing to bet Trump will attack the the next poll leader.

that because Biden is ahead in the polls, all of which show that he is most likely to beat Trump by the widest margin, he is the candidate Trump fears the most.

Biden is way ahead nationally, which is why Trump is busting on Biden. He's clearly the candidate Trump fears the most or he wouldn't have gone to such extreme lengths to try to get Ukraine to fabricate an investigation. And he and Rudy are still doing it. Could it change? Maybe, but that's what's happening now.

One bad gaffe during the debates, and Biden will be in trouble.

She will run circles around Trump in debates.

Because she looks younger, healthier, and is 10 times more eloquent than Trump.
Trump will NOT debate Warren! How does that help Trump? He will look like a chicken.
Biden does not look younger than Trump, and Biden is not as eloquent as Warren,
so Trump will show up for the debate.

candidates.

And FWIW, if Trump were very worried about Warren, he'd be attacking her a lot more.

Biden's the one he's afraid of.

Biden's been the front-runner all year, while the others fight it out for number 2 in the primary race, and Warren has been slipping in the polls lately.
