Trump Reminds Democrats He’s Beatable

Brian Beutler: “The cursed few of us who watched Trump’s speech to the end saw a paper tiger, but it’s not as though Trump ran a textbook campaign until last night. He got convicted of 34 felonies just a few weeks ago! He’s backed terribly unpopular ideas, boasting repeatedly of his responsibility for overturning Roe v. Wade.”

“And yet he’s been leading—neck-and-neck at worst—the whole way through. Watching him flail through another bizarre speech doesn’t suggest Democrats’ misgivings about President Biden have been misplaced. Rather, it suggests that Trump’s weaknesses have gone unexploited, because Democrats have been poorly situated to exploit them.”
