Walz running thru rural PA is a great idea. Get those small towns on board

This is true.  The average small town voter who may be skeptical of big-city California Kamala will absolutely see Walz as the guy they have coffee with every morning.

Any ways to make these rural counties less red while driving turnout in Philly and Pitt will go a long way. All upside

Here's your story, CNN. Every line below is newsworthy from a person seeking the presidency. Just add the lede: Today, here's what Trump had to say at his rally:

But, but, but we don't have anything to balance it with from the Harris campaign.

That's why it's news, you incompetent imbecile!

“No one spends as much time on this campaign around him as Natalie,” said one insider. “If people think she’s an airhead because of her looks, they don’t understand how smart she is and how much the president relies on her.”

Natalie looks like bimbo, but we still think she's smart.

Whoever this person is; having receipts on the behavior of a young Barron is one thing, but posting pics of yourself with other innocent kids as some sort of proof is another.

Barron may very well be (or have been) a budding sociopath.  But this is exactly the wrong way about doing your business.  

I mean, okay, sure, I understand the sentiment. But the dude is now 18 and a manager in charge of a key portion of the presidential campaign of one of the worst people in the world. I don't know the guy posting either, but it fits with other information in the public realm, and the guy appears to be exactly who he says he is. You can look at Dotard's son and come to the conclusion that he's a psychopath in some manner, just from his eyes. You can see his anger in video clips online. Other reports of what his brothers have said about him, and what Barron has said about his parents. Given the circumstances, I have no problem with someone telling the world that Barron is a huge accident waiting to happen, that his parents sucked as parents, and that they're desperate to cover it up. I think about other psychos in recent history where people who knew said nothing - Uvalde, Sandy Hook, etc.

Counter point: pysychos often go after hated family first.  Maybe just let Barrón fix the glitch.

Conjecture from an AP reporter is that it's some op person getting multiple people to pose with a couple of the same cups, and not an outpouring of people trying to make a point about supporting JD's manly sperm.

A recent study on U.S.-China trade concludes that Trump’s trade policies cost the U.S. economy nearly a quarter million jobs. But its obsolete understanding of trade flows ends up pointing trade policymakers in the wrong direction.

a different strategist in reply, expands on the point

 

The Dems came up with the “weird” idea after one of their interns, who also happened to be a college football fan, asked Coach Walz what he thought of the aggy yell leaders.

”They’re weird.” Walz replied. “If I was coaching with those guys flailing around on the sideline, I’d worry my team wasn’t focused because they were distracted by making fun of them.”

In that moment, Walz had a revelation about the campaign. Trump was weird. Just as A&M had deployed male yell leaders to distract from their poor play on the field, Donald Trump had used weirdness to distract from his poor policies and multiple felony convictions. 

“It’s just a visceral feeling, you know? You see those guys pumping away and spinning around looking like weirdos and you’re like, what are we doing here? This is so weird. We just wanna play football.

“It’s the same feeling I get when Donald Trump speaks. He’s talking nonsense pumping up his crowd with lies and dancing around the real issues. The only difference is he’s not dressed like a milkman. Trying to defend Donald Trump is like trying to defend those yell leaders. It’s weird and unnecessary and there’s no place for that kind of behavior in our country.”

Wish Kamala wouldn't have mentioned price controls but that's the only misstep in the last month so whatever I guess.

She didn’t mention price controls or anything like it, but whatever I guess. 
Seriously Harris should just coast on vibes. This isn’t a policy election, and there's no upside to talking about any policy that doesn’t have a clear, immediate and tangible impact on virtually the entire population, ie, taking weed off schedule one, Medicare for all, etc.
