Trump goes after Biden -- and against advisers' advice

The President has been advised in recent weeks not to get sucked into a one-on-one verbal brawl with any of the top contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination, mindful that squaring off with any of the contenders at this early stage could help elevate them in the eyes of Democratic voters and give them more oxygen to rise above the crowded pack. Those advisers, though, knew it was only a matter of time before Trump would do just that.

That advice has been especially true for taking aim at Biden, whom many Republican operatives -- and Trump himself -- believe would pose a significant threat to the President should he win the Democratic nomination.

Trump campaign operatives have been cautious not to weigh in on which candidate concerns them most as a general election nominee. And with Democratic candidates eager to prove that they are best positioned to beat Trump, several of the President's political advisers have cautioned him not to play into their hands by responding to their attacks at this early stage.

4. Trump being "the change agent"????

Surely there is a disconnect here with that statement about Donald Trump. The change that has taken place has not been good.

Underestimate Joe Biden , and he will hit you where it hurts the most. Try to blungdon him with his vast experience in government, and Trumy camp will lose. Joe knows all the tricks and he is not easily fooled. If anyone who knows how the Republicans will play Joe knows.

5. Gotta' say...........

I'd love to buy some of whatever this guy is drinking or smoking - it really seems to do something "crazy" to the brain!

"Joe Biden being the Democrat's nominee allows Trump to be the change agent in 2020 even though he's the incumbent."

(I'm just saying "I'd love to buy it" because it seems to have some major delusional effect on what you would hope to be a sane, stable, balanced human being. But then again, I don't really want to be like "that guy!" )

7. Now that trump is drawing Biden in

He'll start accusing him and Obama of made up stuff, then get Barr to investigate and prosecute him, exactly how putin has done in russia too. Putin has others doing the same thing in other areas of the world too.

8. It would work if Trump wasn't an incompetent boob

The only thing that is saving us right now is how dumb he is.

9. Joe baited him when he announced his candidacy
