Repeating the point: the final week narrative is now him running defense, rather than pounding home his lies about Harris. Harris needs to now drive home the message that this country is tired of his hatemongering and wants to move forward not back. With a brief recap of her plans including shout outs to the appropriate needs and issues of rural America. ---

And a pony, no doubt. The fact that RFK Jr believes any of what Trump promises is all you need to know to figure out what a dingbat he is. Of all the frightening things that Trump might unleash on the US, giving control of HHS to RFK Jr is the last thing I’m worried about. ---

But isn’t that just making people connect himself and his team with garbage again? And Orange Foolius is no longer planning on attending the Penn State/Ohio football game. I don’t blame his security force if they nixed it. ---
