Scott Douglas Jacobsen: Next topic: Harris and Walz. How are they doing?
Rick Rosner: They’re doing well. We’re about 45, 44 days away from the election, and they haven’t made any major mistakes. It’s not October yet, but there haven’t been any October surprises so far. Trump, on the other hand, does things several times a week that would wreck any other candidate. Recently, he started his own cryptocurrency, which just shows he’s not serious about winning more votes.
Jacobsen: He’s still focused on gaining attention rather than voters.
Rosner: Exactly. A week ago, there was a focus on Laura Loomer—she’s a hate-monger and probably the craziest right-wing pundit out there. There are rumors that her dad had her locked in a mental institution twice. She’s been kicked off every social media platform for her awful comments. When she got kicked off Twitter five years ago, she handcuffed herself to the front door of Twitter HQ to protest. Just a completely unhinged person. But she’s been traveling on Trump’s plane—well, his ex-presidential plane.
Jacobsen: And despite all of that, Trump’s base doesn’t care.
Rosner: Exactly. He’s not going to win anyone new unless they’ve been completely out of the loop and have no idea what’s been happening. But Trump’s not losing any of his base either.
