Online Public Relations Thoughts

In Iowa where Trump is popular, Republican presidential candidates are not mentioning him while pitching their merits to be in office.  It's a silly communications strategy.  By not attacking Trump and his indictments, they are letting stand his lead with voters.  On the other hand, if they attack Trump, they fear what voters will do.  So they are tiptoeing around the issue, which gets them no sway with voters at all.  They might as well stop campaigning because all they are doing is cementing Trump's lead.  But, they persist, perhaps hoping that Trump will implode, which is unlikely. Now is not a good time for a no-Trump Republican to be running for President.  Democrats are not happy about the state of affairs.  They are dealing with poor opinion polls for President Biden.  It seems neither side has an advantage.
