Inside Politics With Dana Bash: Biden Campaign Slams Donald Trump As ‘Convicted Criminal’ in New Ad

Source:CNN talking about the President & The Convicted Felon.

"The Biden campaign is rolling out a new ad in battleground states framing the election as a choice between a “convicted criminal” and a president “fighting for your family” in its latest effort to seize on Donald Trump’s conviction in his criminal hush money trial in its appeal to voters." 

From CNN

I think the convicted felon issue is sort of like the Bill Clinton issue for Vice President Al Gore in 2000. 

The Gore Campaign in the summer and fall of 2000 was debating whether or not to have President Clinton campaign for them or not in the swing states like Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Florida. And of course the Monica Lewinsky scandal was just 2 years before, President Clinton is impeached by a partisan Republican House in December, 1998, tried and acquitted in January, 1999 in a Republican Senate. 

And the issue was whether or not the Gore Campaign should use President Clinton to campaign for the Vice President in those swing states, to get African-Americans and perhaps even left-wing Democrats to the polls to vote for the Vice President in the summer and fall of 2000. Vice President Gore chose not too and lost Ohio in a close race and of course barely lost Florida, but just 100s of votes.

I think 1 could assume, perhaps even an intelligent, sober, sane person, that most Americans, especially Independents are now aware that Donald J. Trump is a 34 time convicted felon. So maybe the thinking is that the Biden Campaign doesn't need to bother with this. 

But, since Donald Trump always runs 21st Century of the Richard Nixon Silent Majority campaign and wants to focus on law and order and will go further with that in 2024 and try to convince Independents that crime is up now, when it's actually down, etc, how would the Biden Campaign not use the 34 felony convictions against a man who claims to be for law and order, when he was convicted of committing 34 felonies the same year he's now running for President of the United States again? 

I think the worst way to lose a presidential election, is by not firing all of your good shots and leaving political ammo in that could've been the difference between a close loss and close win. Or even a narrow win where you are not sure whose going to win on election night, and a win where you look like you could win the election in an Electoral College blowout.
