It Begins: Trump Campaign Goes to War With Joe Biden Over China Connections

Stacey Matthews
The U.S.-China relationship will be *the* major campaign issue in the months to come, well after America begins the process of getting back to normal.


"With Sen. Bernie Sanders out of the picture, the general election presidential matchup between Joe Biden and President Trump is all but officially set.
"Now knowing who their opponent will be, the Trump campaign wasted no time cranking out a hard-hitting ad on Thursday against Biden that centers on his and his son Hunter’s China connections at a time when more people are learning about the origins of the coronavirus: Wuhan, China." . . .   (Emphases in the original)

Biden’s ideas for re-opening America are painfully obvious and insipid  "If Joe Biden weren’t such a corrupt, dissolute, politically vicious man, one might feel sorry for him as he simultaneously battles irrelevance and dementia while locked away in his home in Delaware. As it is, watching Biden public decay is the equivalent of watching someone take Dorian Gray’s picture out of the attic and place it in front of a television camera.

"It doesn’t help Biden when his campaign churns out bland, meaningless bits of political pabulum that are meant to read as profound insights into public policy during a challenging time in America. The latest example is an opinion piece in the New York Times that purports to be Biden’s “plan to safely reopen America.” (This link is to the same article at MSN if the Times piece is behind a paywall.)" . . .
Biden's plan; pretty much like Kerry's campaign long ago: "We'll do it better!" :
"Here is Biden’s brilliant plan, distilled, paragraph by paragraph, to its essence:" Quoting:
  1. Attack Trump.
  2. Work on getting a vaccine for COVID-19.
  3. Use social distancing to stop COVID-19’s spread.
  4. Use the Defense Production Act.
  5. Attack Trump.
  6. Have more testing.
  7. Attack Trump.
  8. Work on producing anti-body tests.
  9. Attack Trump.
  10. Prepare hospitals for future COVID-19 flare-ups.
  11. Re-open businesses, while expecting a gradual return to normal.
  12. Talk to leaders in the private sector about ways for businesses to keep their employees safe.
  13. Attack Trump.
  14. Have OSHA work on ways to keep employees safe.
  15. Focus on the racism inherent in COVID-19’s spread.
  16. Work on a vaccine.
  17. Attack Trump.
  18. It’s all Trump’s fault.
  19. I will do better.
End quote.
