This maybe a shitty thing for me to say, and I have nothing against Haitians, but I'm kind of glad that he and Vance have stayed fixated on the Haitian thing.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's shitty, but from the big picture perspective, it's not winning Trump any new voters, it's pissing off plenty of people including a lot of African-Americans who see it for what it is, and it is Trump and Vance continuing to show the racism that the GOP has hitched its wagon to. Most importantly, it's reduced the amount of time he's spent on other campaign topics/issues that he could have been attacking Harris over.  It comes across as weird as fuck as well, especially when it's pointed out to Trump and Vance that they are here legally and weren't eating pets.

We're 40 days out and Trump shows no signs of slowing down on the racist attacks on Haitians/Haitian-American.  That's not going to help him.

I was thinking about how absurd the whole Haitian attack line has been. He can't let it go because he can't be wrong. Erickson was hollering the moment it happened because he knew it was going to get him fixated. Vance helped out by telling us that he doesn't mind making shit up because he needs the press to pay attention. Everyone in OH with any pull is asking, no they're now telling them to cut it out. The boss that doted on his Haitian workers got death threats for his efforts.

Between crowd size, people leaving, getting fact checked in real time in the debate and tariffs he can't get out of his grievance loop. His ego won't allow it.

Like the very prescient soldier said, "We're lucky they're so fucking stupid."

That’s why I think it’s a good thing for Democrats - if he had been stuck in this “grievance loop” (I love that term) in 2016, he might not have won, because he might not have engaged in the broader attacks and broader campaigning that he did.  Hell, he still was fixated on a few things in 2016, but he wasn’t getting mired down in it like he is now.

If we had another debate, I could see him coming back to the Haitian thing numerous times.  He just cannot let this shit go, because people, Republicans even, are pushing back on him too much,  he really is a toddler who can’t be told “no”.

That weird, stupid, backwards motherfucker might be a heartbeat away from the presidency and nobody talks about it. Dotard is old, unhealthy and has people trying to shoot him and the media just ignores it. He scares the shit out of me. More than Trump.

One problem with radicals is they assume their world views are secretly held by most people. The silent majority. All he has to do is clearly explain it, they will join him in the disgust of having poor black immigrants becoming our neighbors. Vance said the quiet part loud: the important part is to pay attention to the problem Springfield is having, not about whether any cats are being eaten. They think they have a compelling case. Fuck I hope they’re wrong.

On a positive note, I'll admit I've learned more about Haitian Americans than I did before all this.  It sucks they are having to go thru this bullshit, but hopefully I'm not alone in having had learned more about them.

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson hospitalized after 'incident' at campaign event, source says

He was at a campaign event in Mount Airy, North Carolina.

Jesus, what does a Robinson campaign event look like at this point? Just blind Dave Chapelles everywhere?

Counterpoint....those areas were among the strongest anti-secession votes leading up to the Civil War.

I think their whiteness and ruralness trumps German heritage.

I think that NYT article nails it:  whites are fragile and those who feel marginalized react severely, whether they're actually marginalized or not, and the targets of their reaction are minority groups.

You would have to define the conditions - winning for Trump means something far different than say winning for Republicans.

If he sells a few dozen of those $100k watches, that's a winning idea for Trump.  If Lara diverts money from down-ballot Republicans who are struggling in their races, in order to pay for Trump's jet hauling his ass around, or some work at Mar-a-Lago in the guise of campaign events, it's a winning idea for Trump.

Trump's priorities will be:

  • Stop all aid to Ukraine
  • Get sanctions off of Russia so it can rebuild a lot of its defense industry.
  • Get sanctions off of Iran so that Iran can beef up its drone and missile delivery to Russia.

Latinos for trump share a lot commonalities with white trash racists for trump.   The we hate blacks, is one of the biggest common grounds.   Of course these dumbasses will e the first ones to get thrown under the boxcar, but they are too stupid/racist to realize it.

They are almost united in support of Pinochet regardless of nationality if anything Trump is not dictator enough.

They're betting racism will win. They have a shot at bring right.

That is the play. The fact that We The People can't get past the star on our belly is going to continue to be a fracture point. Probably forever or until the evil side wins and purges. This house, this great Republic, was and is built on the foundation of racial hate. It will always be shaky.

NYT/Siena -Harris +2  WI, Harris +1 Michigan, Trump +6 Ohio, Harris +9 NE-02

Brown also up 4 in Ohio

To me the NE-02 is most interesting. It tells me that Trump is in heaps of trouble in the burbs, which is the most powerful voting block in most of the swing states outside of NC.

Yep. I said yesterday even if he makes marginal gains with minority and young voters, it’s going to get wiped out by Harris’ gains in the suburbs. I don’t think this is close - obviously you can’t extract out a district for a state, but numbers that like in the burbs makes me think this is not going to be that close in the end

He debunked the fact check as he made the statement. "The fake news heard about it and they said, 'it never happened.' But I said, 'I swear to you it happened.'"

So, counter fact check engaged.

Yeah. He needs to at least partially offset his losses with  surburban women by picking up some of their husbands. If these numbers are right, he’s not

I am spending a lot of time in the Valley and this is true. When you couple it with Latinos’ hyper support of the police and military and all things patriotic, you see what’s happening. BLM was the biggest disaster for south Texas Democrats and it will take a long time to recover from that. I sense that the real MAGAS are laughing at them.

Is the Robinson burn hospitalization story the start of an excuse to quit? I have to think that someone will offer him straight cash to quit since his campaign has the potential to cost trump the WH. 
 

could be the best money that the Trump side can spend.
