Some interesting names in this list.
I’ll put a couple of bucks on Susan Rice. Just seems to fit better with the “rebuild” slant of the campaign.
Trying to do what the Nats are trying here. Things are shit but we can help rebuild. -

Um, taken the virus seriously?
To be fair to Trump, it was the Democrats who complained Trump was over-stating the danger from Coronavirus, tried to block his travel bans and restrictions and went around telling people not to worry about the disease.
E.g. Nancy Pelosi visiting Chinatown in late-Feb saying the Coronavirus situation was under control and it was safe to carry on as normal. Mayor Bill de Blasio was telling New Yorkers as late as mid-March to go on with life as normal as "Covid-19, even if you were to get it, basically acts like a common cold or flu.”
Trump hasn't covered himself in glory but his political opponents have been just as bad.

It is a big gamble for the Dems to assume voters dislike the opponent so much that they'll back anyone you put up against him
Well, much of the commentariat, media and the Democrats have spent the last 4 years blaming Trump for every political, social and economic problem that ever existed and painting him as the devil incarnate and uniquely evil. With Biden's current poll numbers they will think it has worked.
Personally, I think US voters will find the next POTUS just as divisive, lacking leadership and incompetent as the current one - possibly even more so.

At a guess, these kinds of stories help Trump with "average Joe" in America.

@Rembrandt sounds like they should just return the favour if it happens?
That’s a game of chicken that will get someone’s kids killed.

I hope that Tucker has impeccable sources for this section because calling out those two people by name will definitely get them doxxed.
I'm trying to think of how I would act in this situation, and I'm sure that I would do the same thing.
But, you have to be right.
This sort of shit is likely to get houses burned down or even worse (as Kirwan explained above)
