Trump's Biden problem: People don’t hate him like they did Hillary

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden may not be moving much, but he’s proving a tougher target for President Trump than his past political opponents.

Less than five months from the election, the Trump campaign team is still trying to find the right message to defeat Biden. The president has stuck with the “Sleepy Joe” nickname, though his campaign is as likely to go with “Hidin’ Biden,” to mock his low-key approach to the trail, or “Beijing Biden,” to paint the Democrat as soft on China. But none of these have defined the former vice president as effectively as “Crooked Hillary” Clinton, “Lyin’ Ted” Cruz, “Little Marco” Rubio, or “Low Energy Jeb” Bush, in part because Biden is better liked than most of these previous Trump foes.

A recent Fox News poll found that 53% of registered voters have a favorable impression of Biden, compared to 44% unfavorable. Other polls show higher unfavorable numbers for Biden, suggesting Trump campaign attacks are beginning to take their toll. But the RealClearPolitics national average still has his net favorability at -1.6%, while Trump’s stands at -14.3%. Biden’s numbers are also noticeably better than top congressional leaders of both parties, including Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, and Chuck Schumer.

What's to have an impression of? A guy who was not even as useful as Ed McMahon, playing second chair to Duh Won who never really did much obvious because that would call attention to the lucrative side deals he had going on, low key, behind the scenes, enriching family by using his position to blackmail foreign governments in the name of the United States of America. A common thug in a three piece suit with a penchant for fondling those who should be off limits, barely cognizant of where he is, to be propped up as a puppet, or to occupy the office until the real puppet is set up. He's a placeholder, a(nother) Zero.

It's harder to hate nothing than it is to punch smoke.

They may not "hate him" like they did with Hillary, but I think they fear what the country would become under him.  I don't like this much, because I've always considered fear to be a poor motivator for acquiring votes. 

The best fear can do is persuade people to not vote at all, a loss for them, but not a win for us either.
