“With a little more than two months to go until Election Day, it’s fair to ask if Donald Trump can win in November. The presidential race is virtually tied in all the major swing states. Last month’s Democratic National Convention was both a hate fest directed squarely at our former president and also a fawning coronation of Vice President Kamala Harris, the nominee who didn’t win a single primary in 2020 or 2024. Every day that the candidates trade insults is a good day for her because it’s one less day that she has to defend the failures of the Biden-Harris administration.”
“Far more worthwhile for Mr Trump is his record of success. The road to the White House runs through a vigorous policy debate, not an exchange of barbs,” writes dainty South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham in a guest essay printed by the New York Times on Tuesday. Notably the comment section is missing from the piece, almost as if they couldn’t trust Lindsey to spend the entire day responding one-by-one to the libs mocking him for his bullshit complaining that Harris is an illegitimate nominee and projecting confidence Trump can have a “rigorous policy debate.”
Worth asking whether Lindsey wrote this in direct response to the Washington Post masterfully capturing Team Orange’s game plan in a single sentence in a Monday story: “With little chance of improving Trump’s standing, Trump’s advisers see the only option as damaging hers.”
