... Why it matters: With more voters finally tuning into the presidential race, Vice President Harris is determined to make Trump own his words -- and not allow allies to sanitize his most incendiary and violent language.

Zoom out: Take the last month alone. Rather than temper his tone as the general election approaches, Trump's public rhetoric has grown more erratic, hyperbolic and nativist than ever. ...

He ordered them to neuter themselves and, by golly, they did just that (after shouting, "Sirrrr!!!").

So don't take him seriously because he lies.

So why believe anything he says? Why vote for someone who LIES ALL THE TIME?

HOW IS THIS EVEN A LEGITIMATE ARGUMENT TO VOTE FOR HIM?!

There will be more than a few congressional and senatorial races that will go to the Dems because Der Dotard hoovered up so much of the campaign money, and he is not giving any to the down-ballot candidates. Trump needs the dough to pay bribes in Venezuela...

#6 - That and the fact that Dotard and the GQP never built-out a ground game, and now at this late date they've outsourced the job to an immigrant who is the second worst businessman in America. Elmo is trying to do something he's never done, build a ground game from scratch, and just three weeks before the election. They are reportedly just building their contact lists using paid canvassers circulating questionnaires. That's something the Biden/Harris folks did a year or more ago. Money does does not overcome the enthusiasm of people willing to volunteer their time to save their country, something the Dems have tens of thousands willing to do. An example of how an effective ground game works, just look at record early voting numbers in the battlegrounds, that's Dems banking votes, and voters effectively crossing themselves off the contact list so the party can focus on turning out others on their lists.
