Bill Bradley was just on Lawrence O'Donnell's show, commenting on how afraid Trump is of Biden

Last edited Thu Oct 24, 2019, 09:09 PM - Edit history (1)

since he knows Biden will beat him.

Bradley went on to point out how Trump has always been ruled by fear.

I'm already seeing tweets about this, will post a video clip when one is available.

_______


I haven't been able to find video, but the transcript of the show is finally available here

http://www.msnbc.com/transcripts/the-last-word/2019-10-23

and this is the section where Bradley was talking about Trump's fears (apologies for the double spacing below, but that's what the MSNBC page has):


But Bill Taylor`s testimony made me realize there`s an untold story here.

And the untold story is how afraid Donald Trump is of Joe Biden.



O`DONNELL: Yes.



BRADLEY: I mean, really afraid. I mean, he knows that Biden will beat

him. He`s already ahead of him in the Upper Midwest States. I mean, how

else do you explain this vast effort to smear Joe Biden? Because he`s

afraid of him.



And I think that that`s the untold story. I started thinking about being

afraid, Trump being afraid. And I realized this is kind of a theme in his

life. I mean, he was afraid to go in the military during Vietnam, right?



He goes all the way up to today where he`s afraid to reveal his income tax

returns. I don`t know. What are they going to show? Russian payments? I

don`t know. What is he afraid of?



So I think this is a real fact. So, that`s one of the things that I

thought as I heard Bill Taylor`s testimony.

This one will be for all the marbles ...If he delivers the goods ; if the American people believe him; it could herald the end of Trump's Presidency ...The end of a Nightmare ……..If he turns out to be a timorous , tepid non- entity like Mueller ; We're stuck with Trump until Jan. 20 , 2021 - or January 20 , 2025 …..Go Bill Go !

And yes, as can be seen in the text or heard in the interview, Bradley is very clear: this whole mess is because Trump was/is afraid of running against Joe Biden in 2020. He's afraid of being beaten, humiliated. And that fear may very well bring him down along with his corrupt Administration

Karma in action!
