Rope a Dope

President Biden trails Trump in 5 of the key six battleground states in the recent New York Times/ Siena Poll.  Democrats are moistening their mattress pads.  The Biden strategy of only running positive ads against a vulnerable opponent increases the flow.

Understandably, Biden wants to take credit for record job growth.  With the narrowest of legislative margins in the House and Senate he passed the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the first gun reform in 30 years.   His inflation reduction act combats climate change and prescription drug prices.

But although inflation is moderating, and is slightly lower than that in France, Canada and Germany, Biden is crushed by the crazy 8s.  Americans are paying 8 dollars for a pound of bacon or a Big Mac, and the high interest rate inflation cure, saddles home buyers with an 8 per cent mortgage.

But if ever there was a dope, ready to be roped, it is the former president.  That is the plan.  Biden does not want to fire until he sees the whites of his thighs.  Biden wants no obstacles to Trump's nomination.  

As early as the GOP convention the attacks will be withering.  Trump's criminal difficulties provide fodder, but the true vulnerability is that he was held liable for sexual assault.  More women vote than men.  The ads will be devastating.  Once this is a choice election, Trump will be toasted, dry.
