Biden Falling on His Sword to Try to Stop Trump

By Dick Morris

Biden's dark and divisive speech last week was not about America, but more about Former President Trump - to try to turn the attention of the midterm voters to the past president rather than the struggles of the sitting one. The question is, why would Biden take the risk of giving so incendiary and unpresidential and intemperate of a speech as president; and the answer is because he's essentially falling on his sword to bring the issue to Trump and making this issue all about Trump. But the persistent attacks on Trump are going to fail to keep him from running in 2024. 

The FBI's raid of Trump's private residence in Mar-a-Lago was the first attempt to stop Trump. The speech was second; and third, is going to be a grand jury indictment of Trump for the crime of not returning his library books, which is essentially what he did with the archives. The archives are essentially a library. His books were overdue.

They'll indict him and try to convict him. And the purpose of this is not to knock him out of the race - they can't do that - not to deny him the nomination, but to foment a primary in the Republican Party. They're hoping that [Florida GOP Gov.] Ron DeSantis and his people say, "Why do we have to have this baggage in 2024; this guy is toxic in certain places; let's go past him. Let's go and get somebody else." [more...]
