CLEVELAND: The upcoming polls to elect the leader of the global superpower, will be determined by whichever of the two presidential candidates can present a more convincing case for their daddy being stronger, experts informed The Dependent on Wednesday.
Speaking in the aftermath of the first of three scheduled debates between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden, experts said that there is a strong competition between the two on the ‘one-point agenda’ that will determine the winner of the 2020 election.
“Trump [edged it] by a hair. He was forceful and solidified his base while highlighting how strong his daddy was—a policymaking narrative that he has been more accustomed to and one that comes naturally to him. That was reflected in how he told his rival ‘there’s nothing smart about you’,” said longtime Staten Island Republican political strategist Leticia Remauro.
“Trump demonstrated once again his ability to be an exponential version of himself when it comes to convincing his vote-bank that no one’s daddy has ever been stronger in American history. His followers would love the way he said ‘let me shut you down for a second’,” said James Henson, a political science professor and pollster at the University of Texas.
While Trump is being lauded for coming out on top in the discussion over the most pivotal question, many experts claim that Biden is not far behind.
“One of the most interesting aspects of this campaign is how steadily Biden has commanded a lead of roughly six to seven points, without addressing issues traditionally considered decisive in elections, especially for the Democratic party: economic inequality, the plight of the working class and the challenge posed by a rival superpower,” said David Gergen, the former White House adviser to Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton.
“However, with ‘he’s a liar’, ‘he’s a fool’, ‘worst president ever’, and especially ‘will you shut up, man?’ he has more than made up for all of that,” added Gergen.
Experts also suggest that debate moderator Chris Wallace saying that ‘why should I be different than the two of you’ illustrates the political reality of the nation that will look to answer the burning and divisive question, and determine the stronger of the two daddies.
