Trump's Hardline Quest to Destroy Harris' Momentum

Trump’s Hardline Quest to Destroy Harris’ Momentum

"SNIP...........

CNN: “In recent days, the ex-president has unveiled a broad assault using the insult-driven politics with which he won power in 2016, even as his advisers have been pleading with him to focus his attention on top voter concerns including high prices and immigration.”

“He is seizing on foreign tragedies to accuse the vice president of responsibility for the deaths of US troops in Afghanistan and claiming she’s complicit in killings of hostages in Gaza. He and his running mate, JD Vance, implied her mixed race — heritage that millions of Americans share — is evidence of a sinister “chameleon”-like character that also explains policy reversals on energy and immigration. In an ugly moment, he amplified a sexually themed social media slander against her. And his dark campaign ads allege she will slash Social Security benefits by welcoming millions of undocumented migrants to the country.”

“And in a reprise of past GOP campaigns branding Democratic nominees as extreme liberals, Trump and his supporters are trying to frame Harris as a communist and a ‘Bolshevik.’”

Playbook: “Trump remains stuck where he has been for weeks: with no killer attack on Harris that has crystalized, no signs of a rebound in the polls, and public events where he still talks a lot about Biden, who has not been his opponent for more than six weeks.”

A disaster for him no matter what happens. He'll probably get bone spurs or covid just before the debate.

and I am tired of those who think this filth is just fine and his actions remind me of the Mafia. People are afraid to do what is right because they or family will be harmed by his "hit men, you his followers. How would you like it if the reverse were true? The Golden Rule! Republicans don't honor it because of they lack morals apparently like their leader and we want this to be our nation?
