Steve Schmidt: “The Biden campaign cannot become aggrieved or victimized. They cannot look affronted, angered or defensive. There is no space for weakness of any type. The Biden campaign must brawl and fight and brawl some more. The greatest liability is now in the middle of the ring. It is either true or not. The burden is on the president. A lack of rebuttal will become evidence of truth. Joe Biden has to demonstrate he is able. Period.”
“The election of Donald Trump will portend catastrophe. Everything is on the line.”
“The president has either been smeared or revealed. Either way, he has no choice. He must refute the negative.”
“The Biden campaign needs to be hard, furious and ferocious. It must destroy MAGA. That can’t be done in a defensive crouch.”
