Great article, Greg. Thank you. But you have missed the actual GOP/Trump plan, already in action now, namely:
Amplify the death rate to obscene levels, create chaos and panic, then as the country breaks down, declare Martial Law, suspend elections (evade prison), and become #Mangowanker Turdking the First.
I don’t know that manufacturing a scandal-“one possible but untrue scandal” against Biden that may have happened 27 years ago, will move the needle as far as voters are concerned, in fact I am pretty sure that it won’t matter very much in the scheme of things. Reade’s report has been inconsistent from the beginning, her claim now that it was “sexual assault”, is most certainly untrue, because if anything happened at all it was likely he touched her arm too much...Most voters at this point have gone beyond caring about this, a trivial scandal, that on the face has been debunked as categorically untrue.
The point is Trump’s presidency is rife with scandal, none of which come to the attention of MSM for very long, because there’s a new scandal every day...his scandals are all that Trump has done while in the White House..in fact since Trump scandals have been so prolific, we’ve become inured with talking about them, dismissing them out of hand because we know Trump is capable of whatever scandal is currently being discussed on MSM. But, if Trump opens that box, its likely that MSM will be talking about all if his scandals. Is he willing to risk that while the Reade complaint has already been investigated and found to be without merit and the claim that she was assaulted is just to incredible to believe-that Biden is even remotely responsible, Trump yes, but Biden..no. Does Trump think that he can push this one rumour and he wouldn’t get backlash from his own past behaviour? I think not..Biden has been thoroughly vetted, there’s nothing in his personal file that even remotely resembles anything like what Trump himself has in his past.
'But Biden is not Kavanaugh. As Eric Boehlert writes in his PRESS RUN column, Biden has been truthful, while Kavanaugh lied the whole fucking time, and under oath ' withal!

Excellent piece but then again I expected nothing less!

The perfect blend of hope & hilarity...only part I quarrel with is the idea that any of the Trump kids have considered using the word sinecure.
“if Biden wins, Trump is fucked” Not to be cynical but that’s what was said of the Mueller investigation
