Trump Has an Achilles Heel, and He Needs to Cover It

This brings us back to a critical element of the takedown of Old Joe.  Joe is into the worst of the COVID scam, up to his ice cream.  Trump is, too.  While Biden radically expanded the length and the severity of the COVID police state, it is undeniable that Trump started the medical Mengele ball rolling.  Neither has any plausible deniability as regards the COVID horror show we, and the world, have experienced.  They are both guilty as hell.

However, if President Biden were to become drooling Joe over in the corner, whoever his replacement is has some COVID cover.  That replacement wasn’t in charge.  Even if he was a COVID Nazi, like Governor Hair Gel, he can say he was just following orders.  Sorry — I meant following Fauci’s Government Science.  Trump can’t claim the same, as he was in charge.  He can try the feeble argument he was lied to by the medical mafia, but it always a tough sell to say, “I am just stupid, not criminal.” ...

Republicans and independents are pissed off at the way the COVID scam was forced upon them.  Everyone has a personal COVID story, all bad.  When election time comes around, a Democrat with plausible deniability — or even Bobby, with a stellar vaccine record — is going to look a lot better than Slow Joe.  As for Trump, he will need to do some deft pivoting from vaccine-pusher to repentant defender of American values, including personal autonomy.  Otherwise...so goes Joe, and so goes the election.

If this were a real problem, though, why didn't Republican voters go with DeSantis instead? It's not as though DeSantis didn't make this argument in the primaries. He did so repeatedly, and the GOP base simply didn't care.
