Spot on. I don't know how this strategy will hold until the election but I guess we'll see. Trump split Biden's progressive base (most of that damage was already done to be honest), but he got him clearly on camera in front of millions having a shot at Bernie, dissing the green new deal and socialized healthcare.

Also Trump brought Biden down to his level. Trump was always going to be aggressive it's who he is and those chips have been on the table now for 4 years. Seeing Biden get down and dirty contradicts his "decency" shtick big time. I'm seeing a lot more arguments that I saw in October/November 2016 about both candidates being bad, undesirable etc. This massively helps Trump. Almost no Trump voters will be changing their vote, but left progressives will and unenthusiastic voters will too.
