The Big Picture
The race is turning against Trump, and badly.
He’s unhinged, rambling, reckless, and blaming everyone (the Deep State, the Jews, and Silicon Valley just yesterday) for his collapse. It’s going to get much, much worse. The name-calling, the race-baiting, and the alternate reality ranting is increasing in both frequency and amplitude. I’m a close observer of Trump, and his level of overt insanity is off the charts.
The polls are bad. The ratings are bad. Trump’s fundraising is really bad. His world is narrowing, and he’s been denied the love of Laura Loomer by his cruel campaign team.
His bestie — “He’s better than Dr. Martin Luther King!” Mark Robinson, the MAGA candidate for Governor of North Carolina is in a spectacular porn-and-Nazi meltdown.
As the week has evolved, Kamala Harris’s polling continues to improve in the swing states. Pennsylvania is still tied, which is why we’re about to spend $2 million there in the next few days and fully deploy Lincoln Project resources into the mix in the Keystone state.
