NEW: Veterans of 2016 and past Republican campaigns say Trumpworld's push to turn @JoeBiden into @HillaryClinton by attacking his family and making baseless claims about his health is evidence that the Trump campaign is out of ideas and is doomed to fail. independent.co.uk/voices/hunter-…
One former Trump confidante and campaign official said the 2020 brain trust "has realized that nothing they’ve done has worked, so they’re going back to what they originally did, which was to create chaos and create distractions.” independent.co.uk/voices/hunter-…
The ex-Trump campaign official, who asked to remain anonymous because of Trump's tendency to sue people, said the president's obsession with Hunter Biden is "so bizarre" and is backfiring by making people feel empathy for the Biden family. independent.co.uk/voices/hunter-…
Former @HillaryClinton rapid response director @Zac_Petkanas said the push to create a cloud of scandal around @JoeBiden won't work because "there has not been a decades-long campaign to trash Joe Biden: as there was with Clinton. independent.co.uk/voices/hunter-…
.@ProjectLincoln founder & ex-GOP ad guru @TheRickWilson agreed that the Hunter-centric plan is doomed: “Even with the hardest-core [GOP] partisans… the ground state of Joe Biden with voters is affable, friendly Joe, not a hyper-progressive nanny scold." independent.co.uk/voices/hunter-…
.@TheRickWilson added that the attacks on Biden's health are ridiculous after @realDonaldTrump's bout with COVID because the president "is a doddering obese guy who has lived a hard life of fried chicken and filet-o-fish." independent.co.uk/voices/hunter-…
"This is not a man at the peak of his physical condition, so the attacks on Joe Biden’s health when Joe Biden can clearly do more push-ups than Donald Trump is not even going to be close to effective,” @TheRickWilson said. independent.co.uk/voices/hunter-…
.@Rvat2020 founder @SarahLongwell25 said none of the Trump attacks on Biden are landing with focus group participants who voted for Trump last time because they don't care about any of his grievances. independent.co.uk/voices/hunter-…
"What everybody cares about is: Can we get this pandemic under control, so that our kids can go back to school, and we can go back to work, and the economy is working again? But that's not what he talks about," @SarahLongwell25 said. independent.co.uk/voices/hunter-…
.@SarahLongwell25 added that voters don't care about Hunter Biden for the same reason they ignored the Mueller report: "Personal consequences are everything, and the personal consequences for these people from Donald Trump’s leadership have been negative.” independent.co.uk/voices/hunter-…
