If Harris proposes a popular policy that is not fully costed out and completely airtight, she will be damaged more than if Trump wears his underpants on his head at a rally and says that he will ban rainbows in the sky because they are woke.
The thing that is different is Trump’s level of being crazy and out of control. It’s much higher than it was in the past. If he seemed stable, I would not be suggesting that an implosion is possible.
Now it is also the case that, completely without justification, so much crazy is grandfathered into the scale by which Trump is assessed by the media and his cult that it is very hard for them (especially the cult) to perceive an uptick in the crazy and process it appropriately. Even so, Trump is working very hard right now to get the message out that he is nucking futs “as we’ve never seen before.”
In theory, and this kind of thing is polled an analyzed, there are “undecided” and “independent” voters who can as yet be swayed and some of Trump’s current poll numbers are due to their support. I.e., in theory, his floor is not what we see in the polls.
If Trump wore his underpants on his head, the only effect you would see would be millions of red hats covered with underpants and millions of people treating such things as normal. As far as rainbows go, I am pretty sure those same millions are already looking into ways to get rid of them.
The survey, by YouGov, found that 42 percent of independent voters said they plan to vote for Trump in this November’s election, while 37 percent said they would cast their ballot for Harris.
Yup, they either call themselves that on dating apps so they get swiped, or so their children don’t cut off access to the grandkids. Regardless, this race is essentially tied.
Before I saw anything negative about Trump I saw the pictures and story posted to veterans pages as an example of how Trump supports the military. There is no need to pretend it’s fake or photoshopped
