The Harris campaign has a diabolical scheme: She is full of energy and ready to roll, so, there will be a headline-grabbing event or two EVERY SINGLE DAY until Election Day which will keep her and her VP on the front page, will keep her as the topic of all the talking heads, and relegate you-know-who and his shrinking rallies to the classified ads.
Now if James Carville will STFD and STFU.

With Carville giving a dark warning that Donald Trump and his allies are going to come after Harris hard with an avalanche of attacks, former Hillary Clinton spokesperson Jennifer Palmieri all but rolled her eyes and stated that his point was more than obvious and he needed to dial down the doom.
"I don't understand why James has to be a Debbie Downer," the exasperated Palmieri complained. "I don't know why we need to step on our enthusiasm, seriously. Democrats are enthusiastic, they're excited to have an answer to the question about who is the best person to take on Donald Trump."
"I don't think anybody is unaware of how nasty the Republicans can get and that it is a difficult race," she continued while speaking to host Jonathan Lemire. "You know, the vice president has seen a big jump in polling, right? That's sort of what is hard, is the last two, three percentage points, right? That's what the whole game is about. "
"We've had really great week, her numbers are improving and I think it's true that the Republicans are caught off guard," she added. "They don't quite know how to attack her or, you know, what her ticket is going to end up being."

(53,787 posts)but she also knows that if she doesn't define herself, Donnie will do it for her.
Best to try to crowd him out of the headlines.
She has an advantage in that for the moment. She certainly has the energy or "stamina" as Donnie likes to say to keep it going for 3 months.

So they regularly say something irritating and outrageous, designed to get picked up and repeated.
Their biggest fear is for people to nod in agreement and not click on them.

(361 posts)It's a natural consequence of Dump deciding that he is afraid.
Hopefully Kamala can start talking about how Donald is "hiding out in his basement." He despises when his own rhetoric is turned against him!
