Donald Trump is finally sinking
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz fit together like a hand and glove. Perfect. This is the most natural and compelling ticket of my lifetime. I love it. Watching the vice president and Minnesota governor has exceeded all of my expectations. They are a great team. Sergeant Major Walz is going to devour JD Vance in their debate, possibly exceeding Lloyd Bentsen, Dick Cheney, and Kamala Harris as ass-kickers. There is even a chance he could wind up melting JD Vance’s eyeliner. I think the color is “moonshine blue.”
Tim Walz pointed out the great connection that JD Vance shares with the average American:
What a fraud.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to melt down as his poll numbers drift downwards.
This is a beautiful chart from Nate Silver:
The reason that Trump was winning was because the Biden coalition collapsed while the race became fundamentally about Biden.
The reason Trump is losing now is because his coalition has collapsed, and the race has become about him.
The MAGA cause is lined up for destruction at the ballot box.
Trump’s coalition was sustained by fanaticism and apathy. A sense of hopelessness, dread and resignation by his opponents is what gave him lift. For a brief second, Trump became something that had evaded him all his life. He became a winner — and then it all slipped away. It disappeared into smoke.
Trump needs to look like a winner to be a winner, and now he looks like a deflated Macy’s Day parade balloon. Mad, mad, mad King Donald, our dime store Mussolini, the wannabe Caesar and convicted felon who was dumb enough to attack Governor Walz over felons voting in Minnesota is finally sinking. The ending appears to be somewhat anti-climactic, and even boring.
It has been scripted by Donald Jr., and no doubt involved no small number of conversations about the future Vance-Trump Jr. ticket in 2032. LOL.
Now, Donald is riding off into the sunset, being tailed by an inauthentic fraud and genuine weirdo who dreams of a country in the desert where most men might hope for a sip of water.
The Democratic ticket must laugh at, poke, mock, diminish and call out the Trumpian strangeness at every turn, while maneuvering through the door labeled “Better.”
VP Harris should build on the evident joy she has unleashed with a call to service. The Armed Forces need soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines and Coast Guards men and women. The Peace Corps needs volunteers. America needs her young people. It is time for Kamala Harris to lick up JFK’s unfinished business.
This moment shows the resiliency of freedom and liberty. Democracy is a beautiful thing, and watching this Democratic ticket can make even the most jaded feel a bit idealistic.
What a choice! What a ticket!
MAGA is falling apart. What a good thing.
The real worry is the republican machine that is planning to NOT certify the votes this Nov., and push the decision to the supreme accomplices.
We need a landslide to prevent that from happening.
It sounds like you are also feeling really hopeful! What a turnaround … right? Two weeks ago I was really depressed, and now I am full of hope! A true 180 degree shift. I haven’t seen anything like this EVER … and I am 72 years old. I have been waiting over 50 years for this! Go Kamala and Tim! We are going to do it this time; we will have a woman president!
