Within an hour of the conclusion of Wednesday’s live CNN town hall with Donald Trump, Team Biden tweeted out the elements of an attack ad in the making: Trump’s praise of the Jan. 6 insurrection as a “beautiful day” set against raw footage of violent clashes between police in riot gear and a mob of rioters beating and bear-spraying them.
As nauseating as Trump’s hour-long bloviation was to watch, it was also electoral gold for Democrats, as Team Biden’s quick turnaround shows. Trump’s delusional lies, chest-thumping, and pervasive misogyny were like a “greatest hits” of ballot box losers for Republicans.
