Opinion: 2020 Democrats have one mission—sink battleship Biden
By Hugh Hewitt Hugh Hewitt Bio Follow May 23 at 6:07 PM Every candidate for the Democratic nomination for president knows what they need to do: knock former vice president Joe Biden out of the race. Biden himself knows he’s the battleship everyone else needs to sink. He expects the torpedoes. But will anyone launch them?
The best time to do this, of course, is during the upcoming debates. Candidate Donald Trump benefited from the debates in 2016, how they focused the nation’s attention on specific places at specific times. On the Republican side, we saw then-Govs. John Kasich of Ohio and Scott Walker of Wisconsin make the mistake of “strategic patience” in 2015, as did former Florida governor Jeb Bush.
A few members of the Democratic field may hold their fire because their futures look so bright. Sen. Kamala D. Harris has a strong shot at being Biden’s running mate if he makes it through the gauntlet and if she doesn’t screw up. She has the California money and muscle, and she serves to knit the party together. South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg gains stature with every cool and calm interview and every demonstration of intellectual capacity and rhetorical skill.
The “moderates” with slight support in polling or low balances in their campaign treasuries have got to swing hard at Biden as well. Former representatives John Delaney and Beto O’Rourke and their House colleagues still serving — Reps. Tulsi Gabbard , Seth Moulton , Tim Ryan and Eric Swalwell — must all take direct and specific shots at the former vice president. They don’t have time to “introduce” themselves. They either make a mark by leaving a mark on Biden, or they are going to fade quickly.
