Democrats are reportedly planning to launch a smear attack with the obedient corporate media against President Donald Trump’s running mate shortlist.
The media assault will aim to paint the large group of potential running mate picks as “extremists” and “ultra-MAGA” Republicans.
Trump has offered few clues about who he intends to select.
He has left the group of roughly a half-dozen major candidates pushing to set themselves apart.
Democrats are looking to paint the candidates with the same brush, however.
The corporate media will promote the Democrat narrative by arguing they would all effectively be the same, Axios reported Wednesday.
The Democrats, with their reported “Trump’s MAGA Veepstakes” plan, look to focus on key issues like election denial, abortion, healthcare, and tax cuts.
No major Trump VP candidates have split with him regarding his view of the outcome of the 2020 election.
Republicans remain widely supportive of the tax cuts under the Trump administration.
Trump has backed down somewhat on abortion, however.
He distanced himself from Republicans who support a federal 15 or 20-week abortion ban.
He instead argues each individual state should be allowed to determine its own abortion laws.
Democrats are universally pushing to re-impose Roe v. Wade’s standards
