With the end of their convention, the Republican Party and Donald Trump have reached what in military theory is called the “culminating point.” “The culminating point of victory,” according to the Modern War Institute at West Point, “is the threshold when military advantages peak and then rapidly turn into disadvantages.”
As an infantryman, I was taught that the culminating point is a paradox; it’s a moment of maximum vulnerability at a time when you believe you are at maximum strength. Let’s say your platoon has just taken a hill. Exhausted and jubilant, you’ve achieved your objective. Your troops have sent the defeated enemy fleeing down its reverse slope. You stand triumphant atop that hill. Psychologically, you’re vulnerable to believing two things: that your victory is complete and that your enemy no longer poses a meaningful threat. The temptation then becomes to destroy the last of your enemy, to take more ground. If you do this, if you don’t recognize your culminating point, if you try to remain on the offensive too long instead of setting up a good defense, you become dangerously exposed to a counterattack by a regrouped enemy.
…To win, Democrats must regroup and counterattack.

Wishful thinking.
WTF ever Elliot
You enjoy your Sunday bag of sausages
Perhaps the assassin should have been scheduled for mid-October.
It seems Trump should’ve staged the assassination attempt later in the process. /sarc
Cackling Kamala is going to lose worse than Dementia Joe would have!
The only thing I am sad about is that Trump is now being denied the opportunity to beat Joe Biden like a drum in revenge for 2020. IMO Trump wouldn’t even have run again if Biden hadn’t of run, he wanted payback
Translation: The Steal will be more plausible without Biden on the ballot.
You are not smart; there is no such thing as peak in politics it is all spin...polls don’t fluctuate that much people are not that fickle; Trump won this election from the first indictment...there is no democrat that will beat Trump...it is the policies people don’t like...changing horses is not going to make people like bad policies i.e. Ukraine etc.
He probably has been rescheduled for mid October.
Disagree.
Let us please all remember that a major 911 rivalling terrorist incident by illegal aliens will take place soon.
THAT will show we need a strong leader like Donald Trump and there will soon be people rioting against the illegals (for the terrorist incident and the violent crimes) rather than the old Dem leadership.
We’re just over 100 days out. Peaked too soon? Maybe, but we didn’t control the occurrence of the debate collapse and the assassination attempt. Only complacently will keep us from victory. “ regroup and counterattack “ Easy for the simpleton author to say, but the rats will have a horrible presidential candidate who, among many other things, will be called to account for her tenure as border czar
Nope, it’s just warming up.
Yeah. I’m going to listen to some commie squid named Elliott Zuckerman or Ackerman or whatever. Lets all laugh.
Peaked too early?
Most Trump voters have been waiting for almost 4 years to vote for him again. Doubt that they will change their minds now.
It’s The Big Cheat against Donald Trump that I’m most concerned about. The media AND way too many within the GOP continue to pretend that political cheating didn’t happen, during the last two U.S. national election cycles.
Like...trying to assassinate your opponent isn't enough...need to think bigger?
MSM
North Korea blushes.
I don’t know about this.
But Trump did defeat Biden...Biden is gone because Trump beat him that debate handily.
I hope it doesn’t turn out we defeated Biden but lost the Presidency. Wish that debate had occurred *after* Biden was the nominee.
The Democrats and the media themselves already knew full well what Biden’s condition was prior to that debate. Them agreeing to schedule that debate prior to the nomination may have been deliberate in order to set the stage for Biden to be pushed out prior to the convention, as some of us suspected, since Biden was already struggling in the polls. Otherwise it made no sense.
I hope you’re wrong.
If the war chest can only be used by Harris, I’ll take my chances on Trump with 330 electoral votes. No one else can raise enough dough from donors already tapped out. Of course rats can and will make up rules as they go along.
