本周民主党大会的明星当然是被提名人乔-拜登,但是这两天民调数据直线上升的美国总统特朗普始终是他们头顶漂浮的乌云。民主党内人士和大会发言人为拜登提供了很多论据,不过其中有大部分论据想要支撑的论点都是“美国应该摆脱特朗普”。包括前总统奥巴马、参议院桑德斯的演讲,都带有明显的严厉警告——如果特朗普赢得第二个任期,后果将非常严重。这似乎是民主党的一种尝试,引导选民们为了摆脱特朗普而给拜登投票。事实证明,在最新的《华尔街日报》/NBC民调中,几乎每10个支持拜登的选民中就有6个表示:他们投票更多的是为了摆脱特朗普,而不是真的支持拜登。或许可以说,秋季的选举更像是一场对现任总统的公投。当然,民主党人很高兴这么做。 同时,那些支持拜登的最火热的论点也值得注意。因为他们往往强调拜登的个人性格,比如体面、绅士和富有同情心,而不是他的政绩。甚至拜登自己在就职演讲中也这么宣称:“品格在选票中。同情心在选票中。(Character is on the ballot. Compassion is on the ballot)“ 这种做法也反映了民主党人在这次大选中一个重要的算盘:民主党民调专家Peter Hart表示,总统的选票是人们投出的最个人化的一票,而这次民主党大会想要传递的信息是,乔-拜登是一个好人。 下周,特朗普和共和党人将在他们自己的大会上发表演讲,可以预料的是他们一定会反复提及民主党人一直避开的一个话题:明尼阿波利斯、俄勒冈州波特兰和芝加哥街头的暴力事件。特朗普在本周自己的讲话中已经发出了这样的信号,他警告说,如果拜登当选美国总统,将会出现”冒烟的废墟“和”暴力的无政府状态“。
The star of the Democrats’ convention this week was nominee Joe Biden, of course. Not far behind, though, was President Trump, who was discussed almost as much as the man who will oppose him this fall. And that says a lot about how Democrats view the race ahead. Convention speakers offered a lot of arguments for Mr. Biden, of course, but there was an equally heavy dose of arguments for getting rid of Mr. Trump. Some of the most high-profile speeches of the week—including those of former President Obama and Sen. Bernie Sanders—contained notably stark warnings of dire consequences if the president wins a second term. That appeared to be an attempt to both reflect and capture the sentiments of Democratic voters, many of whom are motivated first of all by a desire to dump Mr. Trump. Indeed, in the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, almost six in 10 Biden voters said they would be casting their vote more to get rid of the president than in support of Mr. Biden. More broadly, if there was any doubt that the fall election will be mostly a referendum on the incumbent, and that Democrats are happy to have it that way, convention week eliminated the doubt. Meantime, the most passionate arguments for Mr. Biden also were noteworthy for what they emphasized. More than policies or plans, those arguments often stressed Mr. Biden’s personal character. The terms decency and empathy were common. In his own acceptance speech, Mr. Biden declared: “Character is on the ballot. Compassion is on the ballot.” That approach also reflects an important piece of Democrats’ general-election calculus. “The vote for president is the most personal vote people cast, and this convention delivered the message that Joe Biden is a good person,” says Democratic pollster Peter Hart, who helps conduct The Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. Next week, President Trump and his Republicans, at their own convention, are sure to bore in on another topic Democrats avoided: violence in the streets of Minneapolis, Portland, Ore., and Chicago. Mr. Trump signaled as much in his own remarks during the week, when he warned of “smoldering ruins” and “violent anarchy” under a Biden presidency. source
