A little poli-sci 101 here. When an incumbent president is facing re-election a certain dynamic takes pace. It doesn't matter if it's trump, Obama, Bush or Clinton. But since the incumbent is trump, we'll use him as an example. He's been president for three years, and was a public figure for years before that. Your opinion of trump, think that he's the Messiah or the Anti-Christ, is fixed, unchangeble, and baked into the cake. Therefore if you're working to reelect the president (either officially, or unofficially like FOX "news"), your only option is to change people's opinion of the OTHER guy. Make people think that Biden is crooked, make people think he's a sexual predator, make people think that he's not firing on all cylinders. The truth or falsity of the charges doesn't even really matter because proving them isn't the point. You're just out to muddy the waters. The fact that ALL of those charges can be made against trump, in spades, doesn't matter either. Because you're not trying to change people's opinion of trump, just Biden It's an old tactic. They used it against Goldwater in 1964 with the "daisy ad". They used it against Kerry in 2004 with the "Swift Boat" thing. (That one came courtesy of Roger Stone "associate" Jerome Corsi, whose lunacy can be found on full display these days.) The degree to which it works is measured by the degree to which it turns people off to the process so they don't vote or gets them to go third party or to write in Mickey Mouse, it's all good to them because every vote not cast or not cast for the only person who has any realistic prospect for defeating trump is as good as a vote FOR trump.
