The 2020 version of Biden is plainly afflicted by severe, paralyzing dementia, but even in his so-called &#8220;prime,&#8221; he had no particular vision or core convictions. This is an election either for Trump or against Trump. Biden&#8217;s presence is irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p>The roughly 43% of the solid for-Trump vote and the approximately 45% of the always-anti-Trump vote are already baked into the election. The election will turn on that casually-attentive, somewhat-persuadable 12%. The Republicans will make their usual mistake of thinking that the merits of the issues&#8211;the facts on the ground, like how far back the economy\/employment has come by November and whether or not the racial tension has smoothed out a bit\u2014will carry the day.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats will instinctively operate on the correct presumption that it is their skill at employing the\u00a048 Laws of Power\u00a0approach to campaigning\u00a0in addition\u00a0to the facts on the ground that will win the day. President Trump&#8217;s team had better get up to speed quickly on waging effective trench warfare in 2020, or they will find themselves outflanked, out-maneuvered and out-gunned in the most crucial electoral battle of our lifetime.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Actually, after the previously undreamed of and rapidly escalating horrors of the last several months, I&#8217;ve come to believe that it isn&#8217;t about the election either; given the Left&#8217;s recent string of unqualified victories, Trump himself is all but irrelevant too. As Feinstein himself notes earlier in the article, the Democrats are not interested in governing the country. It is now so plain as to be inarguable that their goal is to destroy the government, establish a Communist tyranny, and get on with the eternal Progressivist project of remaking mankind entire to better suit them.
