Just out of the hospital, my prose may be bedridden. As maybe, time for the final Harris attack. I want to see ads tagging Trump as found liable for sexual assault by a unanimous jury. I want ads about the murder pardoned by Trump who subsequently strangled his wife.
Finally I want ads targeted to Polish and Eastern European Americans in battle ground states. The ads must starkly show the danger to their homelands posed by Trump's pro Putin and anti-NATO foreign policy.
Kamala has introduced herself to the electorate with a flawless rollout leading into a nearly perfect convention, and buttressed by a heavy rotation of bio ads in swing states. The Trump campaign anticipates that the bubble will burst, popped by sharp negative attacks.
But the blue balloon has thicker skin than Trump anticipates. Rather the red balloon is about to explode. Trump, aided by a failed assassination, has the highest approval rating of his political career. To date Harris ads are the soft soap that presents a clean new face to the public. Soon she will focus the mirror on her opponent.
The public is largely aware of his felony conviction, but more devastating, and less known, is a jury holding him liable for sexual assault. The gender chasm will be wide and deep. His pardoning a murder who used his new found freedom to strangle his wife, will not play well with the law and order crowd. When the air is out of the balloon Trump will have a favorability rating in the mid-thirties.
Harris will win by more than 8 million votes, with nearly 300 electoral college delegates.
Proximity to power is power. Power is intoxicating. The Biden campaign staff is vested in the continuity of his candidacy. Time for divestiture.
In the most subtle way possible Kamala must let the upper echelon know that she intends to keep the team together if Joe exits the stage. Staff resistance will dissipate, easing the path for the transition. Biden will be applauded as a selfless hero if he stands down now. If he leaves on January 20th, 2025, as a failed candidate, not so much.
