Trump vs. Biden Part 2 - Iowa speeches - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

As the above article notes President Trump won Iowa in 2016 and will want to make sure that he does not lose the State in 2020, while Biden wants to run a general election strategy before even a vote has taken place in 2020.  One has to say in pure politics the strategy by Trump works better, there is a slim chance that he will face real opposition in the Republican nomination fight, while Biden has to beat a dozen other candidates for the Democratic nomination.   The biggest weakness by Biden is his record, from abortion to his support of the the crime bill in the 1990s. The Crime Bill is seen to have hurt ethnic minority population more than whites, this issue will come up over the next year, if the uber left wing candidates want the nomination they will have to tackle Biden about his support for the bill when he was  Senator.  It still a long way before Iowa votes in 2020. 

Trump vs. Biden - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

From watching the video footage on the BBC you would think that Trump is running in the Democratic race to be President and VP Biden thinks that Trump is his main challenger in the Democratic race.   It seems that POTUS can not allow the Democratic race to go on without taking part himself.   This is risky for both Trump and Biden, for POTUS the problem is that it elevates Biden to be his main challenge, while for Biden he faces numerous Democratic candidates who are taking free pot shots at him from the left.   If the Trump Campaign really think that Biden will be the main challenge then they are following the 1996 strategy of Bill Clinton who framed Senator Bob Dole before the General Election.   The problem is what if Biden does not get through the primaries and the Trump campaign is faced with a extreme liberal, they have to reset their campaign strategy and frame the election for a new candidate.  And it only June 2019 folks.
