Oh, and I suspect that Biden has been through a campaign or two and realizes that the 90 days before November 5th is when he will drop the hammer and call out Trump for the traitorous piece of shit he is. So far, the only thing Republicans have is ... he's old, is getting old. Biden is letting it run its course. BEFORE the critical 90 days. Pfffft.
Biden knows he is not running against just Trump, he is running against the entire Plantation South Evangelical White Supremacists of the entire congress. I trust Biden. He knows what he is doing.
