Harris’s Best Answer to Trump’s Resilient Appeal

The Democrat needs to remind voters about what they really didn’t like about his presidency.

Kamala Harris’s fate in the remaining weeks of the presidential campaign may turn on whether she can shift the attention of enough voters back to what they might fear from a potential second White House term for Donald Trump.

Since replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee this summer, Harris has focused her campaign message above all on reassuring voters that she has the experience and values to serve in the Oval Office. But a consensus is growing among Democratic political professionals that Harris is failing to deliver a sufficiently urgent warning about the risk Trump could pose to American society and democracy in another presidential term.

Everything is Trump’s fault. Just give me another 4 years to fix things.

Yeah, good plan. Take advice from the assclowns at ‘the atlantic’. Good idear. Fookin’ idjits.

[DeplorablePaul]

True. Kamala says people are exhausted by the chaos surrounding Trump which the left incites. If they didn’t lose their minds, Trump would have ran a standard, placid Republican administration. But no! Democrats generated one crisis after another.

I’m not sure the media has sufficient power to transform democrat obstructionism and violence into it being Trump’s fault. THAT was the whole trick of Trump’s first term - the media somehow made the fact that dems were acting out to be a problem produced by Trump.

It didn’t work on me, then. It works much less on many more people now, I think.

The so-called journalists are now openly and shamelessly criticize Trump’s every move while praise or tell Harris what to do to win.

[Tommy Revolts]

No, they hate themselves. They are miserable people.
