Rick Rosner: So, Harris has been the Dems’ candidate for about a month now. There are about 70-80 days to go until the election, which means people, depending on the state, can start early voting as soon as a few weeks from now. In many states, early voting might begin about seven weeks from now. So, the time is getting shorter and shorter. The feeling that pervades liberals right now is that Trump and his campaign are falling apart. What I worry about is that that’s not true.
That this is just the normal level of Trump being the uncontrollable jagoff that he’s always been. So, we’ve got one more certain bump to the Harris campaign. Currently, Harris leads in the aggregate of polls by about 2.5 to 3%. She’ll get a bump from the Democratic National Convention, which begins in 2 days. However, the DNC, the RNC, the Oscars, and the Emmys need to deliver demographically the way they used to.
Because there’s a bunch of other stuff to pay attention to. So, if we’re lucky, she might get a 1 to 1.5% bump. Seeing her leading in the polls by 4% would be nice. But then you still have to get through the next ten weeks until election day. The gleeful characterization of Trump’s campaign falling apart is not entirely accurate because he says a bunch of desperate nonsense now, but he’s always done that.
And there was a rally today in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. There were many clips showing an arena that holds 9,000 people, and half an hour before he was supposed to go on, it looked like it was only 20% full. So, that did not look good for Trump. But then I saw clips of him speaking, and he was late.
He’s probably late a lot, but being late gave them a chance to fill that place up to 7,500 people out of 9,000 so that it looked full. So, he’s still pulling people. There was another thing: the liberals put up clips where he was in Pennsylvania and said, “Hello, North Carolina.”
And a bunch of liberals put up clips saying he doesn’t even know what state he’s in. Then, many MAGAs put up tweets and clips saying he knew exactly where he was. He specifically addressed some superfans from North Carolina who had been to more than 200 of his rallies. So they get seated in the front row, and he greets them.
He knows them because they’ve been to 217 rallies. He says, “Hey, North Carolina,” because he knows where they’re from. So that whole thing about his brain going to shit and not knowing what state he’s in was possibly liberal bullshit. And then the liberals say, “Okay, yes, that’s true. But you guys always used to run deceptive clips of Biden, so turnabout is fair play.” But in the middle of all this, I’m worried that Trump’s campaign is in no more disarray than ever.
He rehired Corey Lewandowski, who’s one of the many scumbags on his staff. Corey Lewandowski is this piece of shit who had an affair with Kristi Noem, the governor of North Dakota—or either North or South Dakota—the governor who didn’t like her dog, so she shot it in the face, and then didn’t like the way her goat smelled, so she shot her goat. And this was the guy she was having an affair with. He’s been kicked out of stuff for roughing people up. Liberals took his rehiring as more disarray and desperation.
So yes, he rehired a scumbag. But does that mean his campaign is sinking? I don’t know.
