Schmidt: Trump is drowning. Biden is readying himself to meet his destiny. A good man will lead.

5. From the Axios article:

Between the lines: N.Y. Times columnist Ross Douthat writes (subscription): "[W]hat was likely to be a slow-motion leftward shift, as the less-married, less-religious, more ethnically diverse younger generation gained more power, is being accelerated nationally by the catastrophes of the Trump administration, which is putting states in play for Democrats five or 10 years early."

The response: Tim Murtaugh, Trump campaign communications director, told me:

"This election, like all elections, will be a choice. In this case, a choice of President Trump’s record of building the best economy anyone has ever seen with the experience to do it again, versus Joe Biden’s record. ... With four months to go before the election, Americans will understand these differences. ... They won’t want to take a chance on Joe Biden."

To which, I say: The economy wasn't built by tRump, but by Obama. tRump was riding on Obama's coattails and anyone who doesn't know that is an idiot. He doesn't have Obama's experience.
