A CNN reporter used profane language during a live report Tuesday about President Biden’s campaign strategy as his campaign looks ahead to a potential general election showdown with former President Trump.
“President Biden himself personally instructed at some of his top campaign aides to be even more aggressive in highlighting some of President Trump‘s more inflammatory and wild comments,” CNN reporter MJ Lee said live on CNN. “We‘re told that the thrust of the president‘s direction was to significantly ramp up the campaign‘s efforts to highlight the crazy shit that Trump says in public.”
Lee noted what she said the Biden campaign sees as “the black and white contrast” between the president and Trump.
Her “crazy shit” language is attributable to the sources who spoke with CNN about Biden’s direction to his campaign, as highlighted in a story she published on CNN.com.
There are ten simple words I wish they would say, and keep saying:
"If you vote for Trump, you're voting for a rapist."
Because it is that simple. And there is absolutely no question he is a rapist.

This is literally what Clinton did to amplify Trump during the 2016 primaries.
They tried to paint mainstream Republicans as "crazy," so voters would be turned off.
That worked out just gangbusters. /s
It's also largely what they did in 2020. There's a difference between making people say "hah, wow, he's pretty out there with the gaffes", and saying "do you remember when he was president? He's worse now".
As a strategy, if you're the sort whose going to be impressed with Bidens policy wins, you're already going to be voting. So driving turn out in people who think trump is potentially an existential threat is gonna be your biggest win, like in '20.
Because when you are dumb as rocks trump sounds like a genius. He speaks his ideas in 4 second attention-span sound bites that his base can grasp. He is the fucking CoComelon of politics to a country of mushy-brained undiagnosed ADHD sufferers and rich businessmen instigating and enabling it.
I’m calling bovine scat. He can’t “win” legitimately; he has to have help from Russia, Cambridge Analytica, Facebook and Wikileaks. Don’t blame Democrats for his corruption. The grifters did that.
How about instead getting people excited for what has been accomplished? Focusing on crazy shit that Trump says just energized his base.
His base is already energized, focusing on the crazy shit is a way to point out to moderates just how scrambled Trump's brain has become. Biden is not going to convince Trump's base of anything, so there's no point wasting time and resources to try.
The issue is that Trump is doing the same: trying to paint Biden as shit and he is decent at it. It results in moderates being apathetic to who wins so they do not turn out to vote. So it comes down to who has a more energized base. That happened in 2016. Clinton rightfully pointed out how fucking nuts Trump was and Trump did his best to make Clinton seem corrupt as fuck. Voter apathy was through the roof but Trump had the more energized base in states that mattered
Biden is doing fine when it comes to the economy but few people seem to be seeing that. I often hear complaints about inflation and a bad job market. But the fact is that inflation went down drastically while keeping a very low unemployment rate. He is also chipping away at student debt little by little. But I often hear people complaining that few people are getting relief because each time only a few thousand people are helped. All of those are positives but I would not say they are marketed very well.
Because Jimmy Carter passed a shit ton of legislation but at the end of the day God Cowboy Actor won.
1980: “God Cowboy Actor” guy won
2000: “Misunderestimated nuculer” guy won
2016: “Person woman man camera TV” guy won
The hostages in Iran were released twenty minutes after Reagan's inauguration speech. A couple years later his administration sold weapons to them.
Stop talking about Trump.
Seriously how the fuck is it that nobody in politics and media have considered this. Just stop. Stop putting him on everyone's tv 24 fucking 7. It doesn't work. You aren't going to move the needle a single centimeter. Get the lazy asses to the polls in November. Then you have a slam dunk campaign.Seriously how the fuck is it that nobody in politics and media have considered this.
They've considered it. The media moguls make massive amounts of money with Trump around. Bad news sells.

It May Not Be Good for America, but It’s Damn Good for CBS
Just in case you're unaware, there's a class war going on, and the people who own the media aren't the same class as us. "It's a big club and we ain't in it."
