Sabotaged by Sanders: Biden is boxed in by Bernie’s antipathy toward middle America | Mulshine
www.nj.com
Joe Biden is only now starting to realize that those demonstrators in the Democratic-run cities are not helping his chances of ever becoming president

Containing the immortal phrase:

"The devil in question is Bernie Sanders, and he forced Biden to go so far to the left that he may not be able to make it back to the middle"

    After reading it I'm convinced Biden will win. This is Trump's campaign manager?! He thinks Sanders has somehow pulled Biden to the left?! JFC, if the people leading Trump's campaign are that braindead to actually think Biden isn't moving to the center and freezing out the left, then they really have no clue what they're doing.

    (or maybe they're just trying to put a message out there that they don't even believe themselves)

      This isn't intended to be truthful. It's strategic rhetoric intended to push Biden into moving further right. Their goal is to move Democrats right so they too can move right.

        I think the short term goal is to just push the nominee more to the right so that he'll be competing with the republican on their own terf. And if people have a choice between the real deal conservative vs the bland centrist friendly one, they'll choose the actual conservative--the republican. And by pushing Biden to the right they help themselves by making Biden even more disgusting to leftist voters than they'll stay home.

      They called obama a communist. None of this shit is in good faith and their base + easily spooked boat dads will love it.

      It’s not meant to be “good faith” it’s meant to cause suburbanites to circle the wagons and vote conservative. They are using the fact that NO ONE knows what Biden’s policies are other then “Trump bad”.

      The Trump campaign has been pumping money into suburbs to show they “care” compared to Biden not doing the same.

      By pushing the “Biden is moving left” narrative it makes those subarbanites who felt like they were left behind by Obama Have flashbacks to that.
