Biden Points Out Predictable Trump ‘Whining’ About ‘Strong Women’ Like Harris | Talking Points Memo

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden fired back at President Donald Trump during his first public appearance with his vice presidential pick in Delaware last night, saying the President’s insulting nicknames for Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) were predictable at best.

Yep. Don’t make him sound like a ferocious monster. He likes that. Talk about what a small, sad fake he is. Speak of him with contempt, not fear.

Trump whining about anything surprises no one.

Exactly! My least favorite Democratic attack on Trump is when he is called a bully or a dictator. As you say, he likes that—to his ears that sounds strong. Use terms applicable to children: “whining” is good; also “having a temper tantrum,” etc.

“He inherited the longest economic expansion in history, from Barack Obama and Joe Biden,” Harris said, motioning at her running mate and clearing a space for herself as a formidable challenger to Trump. “And then like everything else he inherited, he ran it straight into the ground.”

That is some A+ work right there!

At whatever passes for the debates this time around, Biden should cancel last minute and let Harris take his place. The apoplectic stroke would well be worth the price of admission.

I have a tough choice: should I refer to him as “Diaper Donnie”? Or “Donnie Depends”? Probably the first, because it implies an infant, whereas the second implies an adult.
NB: I’ll still keep referring to him as the Murderer-in-Chief (or Traitor-in-Chief, or Liar-in-Chief, and so on), but “Diaper Donnie” is a good fall-back option.

More, please. Keep calling him out for his incessant self pity and his inability to do anything. Use whatever he does to strike back to point out that he is a child. Keep it up.

With his blue tie loosened and slung over his shoulder, Trump sits back to digest his meal and provide a running byplay to the news…

When the anchor throws to Carly Fiorina for her reaction to Trump’s momentum, Trump’s expression sours in schoolboy disgust as the camera bores in on Fiorina. “ Look at that face!” he cries. “Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president ?!” The laughter grows halting and faint behind him. “I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not s’posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious ?”

Pelosi has been doing this all along. She knows a misbehaving brat when she sees one and it really gets under his skin.

Joe’s Veep choice wasted no time kicking some orange ass. Biden can be the nice guy he is that people like. Kamala will take care of the thugs.

The latest attack looks to be “angry black woman.” He hit on it again this morning on Fox.

I don’t think that’s going to work the way he hopes. Harris should embrace it.

“Yes I’m angry. The real question is, why aren’t you?”

I agree and she should recite the long list of reasons to be angry at every opportunity.

This! Ridicule the fat baby. It thrives on fear.

And not to bang on about one good line in a presentation, but again, that’s what was perfect about saying he inherited stuff and then ran it into the ground. It takes away all his claim to attention, his fundamental argument for it. Poof! Gone. In Harry Potter terms, he’s a boggart; he thrives on your fear, but your laughter will vanquish him.

Addendum:

  • Trump this morning: "a sort of a madwoman, I call her,"
