Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Trump predicting to House GOPers tonight that Democrats will "destroy" Biden, leaving Trump to run
against a socialist.
This is of course what Trump wants. It's been reported for months that Biden's the Democrat he's most worried about. Now he's apparently gleeful about the attacks on Biden.

Trump, speaking at a National Republican Congressional Committee dinner, sought advice from the crowd of GOP lawmakers and conservatives about his 2020 campaign slogan as he prepared to face a Democratic challenge.
"We’re going into the war with some socialists," Trump said of the field of prospective Democratic candidates. "And it looks like the only non sort of heavy socialist, he’s being taken care of pretty well by the socialists.
"They got to him," he added with a chuckle, referencing Biden.
"I was going to call him," he continued. "I don't know him well. I was going to say, 'Welcome to the world, Joe. You having a good time, Joe? Are you having a good time?'"

Trump had Russian help to damage his strongest opponent's campaign in 2016.
This time he apparently expects Democrats to do the dirty work for him.
