The Trump team needs to move off of this and pivot into policy even when the media tries to focus on race, gender, etc. Call them out on it, ignore their race-bating questions and go right into the failed policies of biden/harris and contrast them to Trump's.
From what I have seen of late, Vivek Ramaswamy and to a lesser degree, Tulsi Gabbard, have been masterful at this. It would be wise for the Trump campaign to bring both of them (especially Vivek) on as consultants and advisors.
Vivek's communication skills in terms of being able to articulate his points and make compelling arguments is off the charts.
I think both can be accomplished. Noting the reaction of the left I can see that it has hit a nerve.
The reaction to Trump’s response shows this. They know who and what camel toe is. They know that until five minutes ago both her and the media have identified her as Indian or Asian.
As bongino has said identity politics is by definition cannibalistic. They have created this narrative of race centric politics and cultural appropriation.
Just like going down south and adopting a poor attempt at southern speak is clear sign of pandering, so is this shift from Indian to black.
If anything I would create some ads using her own words and theirs about her past identification as Indian to now black. The reason is simple many have no clue to this part of her past, and it shows another side of just how opportunistic she is, and how, at best, disingenuous and pandering she and they are.
No different than showing the media and administration calling her the border czar and now saying she never was.
Again their reaction shows just how afraid they are of this issue
“ignore their race-bating questions”
If you don’t fight back they will slam dunk you.
Republicans like Romney and McCain already tried that.
It failed—Obama crushed them.
We may not like the issue of Harris running a race scam—but we did not create it either.
If you are not playing offense you are playing defense.
It is critical to remember that you do not get to decide what the “issues” are.
Voters do.
I am totally impressed by Vivek. You are right. Trump would be wise to not only sign them on as advisors, but find worthwhile spots for them in his administration.
The dems and the media don’t want to talk about policy at all. They want to focus entirely on irrelevant physical characteristics because their policies are terrible for the nation.

And Trump’s name calling is only firing-up the Democrats’ hate and irritating voters who’d favor him on the issues but can be persuaded into viewing him as a schoolyard bully.
