I don’t see what good it does. He’s clearly playing the she’s not really black card until it is advantageous but who is going to fall for that that isn’t already a fucking moron? I get he’s got to peel away some black support to win. But Howard University and Alpha Kappa Alpha don’t exactly scream “Indian”.
Aside from the obvious moral criticism of it, this is the main one I am seeing the most. This will get his base fired up but will likely not sway anyone to vote for him that was not already.
The reaction across Reddit was extremely negative EXCEPT for places like r/conservative where a majority of people were completely fine with it or thought he was great.
His shrinking echo chamber will continue to praise these performances but for everyone else, this is a step up in unhinged behavior. The sound bites and campaign material just writes itself at this point. Unless they lock both JD and Trump in a closet for 3 months, they’ll keep doing it because it’s normal behavior and they can’t help themselves.
Countdown until GOP complaints that Biden a) didn't swap them for the right people or b) had nothing to do with it and doesn't deserve credit.
That is 100% coming. I'd wager large amounts of money on it.
EDITED TO ADD: Oh, I jumped the gun! We forgot Door #3: "Putin did the deal now because he knows Trump is going to be elected and is afraid of him."
Apparently the winner from the man himself is Trump could have gotten everyone back without giving Russia anyone in return. When asked about that comment, Biden responded with something to the effect of, "Well, why didn't he when he was president?"
I think this is always been Trump's source of weakness. He's always going to feel like the smartest person in the room. It's worked out well overall for him until now, but I think he won't listen to advisors if things start to get bad for him.
If/when Trump loses and after he refuses to concede and tries to incite another insurrection and fails does he flee the country?
Will be hard to incite an insurrection as a not sitting President.
Yes I was saying years ago this probably all ends with him falling out an open window in Moscow. Hollywood ending.
Also the 2016 "polls were wrong about Hillary support (but within margin of error)" to 2020 "polls were very accurate" to 2024 "polls were wrong about trump support (but within margin of error)" will be in the Hollywood script too.

Here’s the path for this helping Trump:
He says a lot of ignorant/racist things about Kamala
The left and the media calls him out ad nauseam for it
Trump pivots to “all they want to talk about is race!”
He’s supporters get mad that the left is calling them racist too much
A few thousand swing voters in the Midwest say “Kamala just wants us to vote for her because she’s black and she doesn’t care about the issues”
This is a bit of the Hillary playbook where he was openly misogynistic, it got dissected to death, and now the conventional wisdom is that Hillary lost because she focused too much on identity politics no matter no matter how much of it was her doing (although she did notably focus on it).
Yeah I'm sure Fox would use the mute button very fairly and not at all favor one person over the other.
I know a lot of people think Harris would dominate, but I don't think she should debate him at all. No point, he spews bullshit so quickly you can't fact check him fast enough and it's easy to look annoyed while talking to him.
Speaking of Fox, 1-6 defendant getting sentenced tomorrow is using that I got foxified defense for leniency. Even if he’s bullshitting it’s pretty funny guess they won’t be reporting this on their shitty channel.

I feel like the approach would be to laugh at him when he’s being ridiculous and just get in facts and policy where possible. They just need to keep making him look like a dumbass and a loser, they don’t need to go crazy on fact checking every claim

I honestly think the mute button helped Trump. It reined him in a bit and prevented the opportunity for a "will you shut up, man?" moment. I think I'd prefer they not do that.
Governor Shapiro cancelled some fundraisers and a trip to the Hamptons this weekend. I think the handwriting is on the wall. There are pros and cons but probably is a net pro with some caveats. He defuses she’s ultra liberal a little since he’s more moderate. They will get Pennsylvania. And it’s cool that you don’t have to be a white male wasp anymore. Harris is (I think) Baptist in the black church way and Shapiro is Jewish. Fwiw Biden was only the second Catholic president I can think of other than Kennedy. Reminds me a little of the Vietnam War no longer mattering once Clinton got elected.
But it’s not necessarily good for Michigan since they have a large bloc of Arab American voters. He’s going to have to go hard on Netanyahu and probably embrace a 2 state solution to offset the zionist label he’s earned.

Do not understand the strategy by the Trump camp. Obsessing over her race while she gets to sit back and say nothing and have everyone point fingers for her. They should be directing things where she needs to actually speak... like they did with Biden. Actually answer literally anything about the past 4 years or the future.

Why would they do that when what they're doing works so well for his base?

His base isn’t big enough to win the election. He’s got to add voters or subtract them from VP Harris. I don’t think they know what to do or they are acting like it’s the first time he ran. The electorate has changed. He’s in some trouble based on the momentum. If I was the Harris campaign I’d slow walk the Vance criticism and save it for October or just let her VP candidate handle his ass.

It's almost as if they are like "meh, it'll be close so no need to change anything right now". But in reality, this could snowball and it be more or less a landslide they can't recover from. I agree that if I'm on the other side, I am hiding Kamala as much as possible. Let Pete or whoever talk. Nobody will care as much even if they aren't completely on point. If Harris says something stupid and/or really polarizing (much more likely) that could pull the undecided voters.

Shapiro, Buttigieg, Beshear, Walz, etc. have all also canceled events this weekend, so it seems like there's a final round of vetting going on, maybe actually meeting with Harris, etc.
Maybe she's doing a rose ceremony like on the Bachelorette.

I heart some Gloria Johnson, but I wish she could extinguish the career of Blackburn. I can't stand that woman. Unfortunately in the south, we only have part of a voice.
