@TimAlberta
Re: my comments on CNN and MSNBC this evening... yes, there are Trump staffers who no longer much care whether he wins or loses. Not exactly breaking news. Hard to overstate how terrible morale is inside of this campaign"and how much anger/resentment is felt toward the candidate.

Perspective:
How America's First Woman Vice President Stepped Upwww.emptywheel.net
Win or lose, I think by the time exit polls come in this week, there will be real cause to question the poll-driven narrative we've been fed since February. Indeed, that's already happening as Black and Hispanic and young voters are moving to Kamala Harris in recent polls, which is precisely what people skeptical of early polls said would happen months ago.
All this time, pollsters kept contorting their polls for fear of missing Trump voters.
Until Ann Selzer came along and told us what pollsters should have recognized from the start: Women vote. And this year, women will vote for a woman to be the first woman President.
Symbolically, Kamala Harris went to East Lansing last night and refused to even speak of Donald Trump.
Turn the page.
This thing is not over. Harris' thousands of volunteers have to get out every vote tomorrow. A flood of bros might come to the polls tomorrow and make that effort meaningless. Harris lawyers have to fight to count every vote " and keep fighting all the way to January if Trump attempts to cheat again.
This thing is not over.
But holy hell, Kamala Harris and her entire team stepped up.
Beat of luck to American democracy surviving 4 years of Trump.

It will not. Don't take it from me, take it from John Mitnick, a former Trump appointee:
threadreaderapp.com
A thread addressed to my fellow conservatives who are planning to vote, or considering voting, for Trump. 1/13
I was a senior, Senate-confirmed appointee in the Trump administration. I saw it from the inside. It was a chaotic disaster. I am also a lifelong conservative, a former Republican nominee for Congress, and a former White House Counsel. 2/13
Trump is reckless, angry, vengeful, and narcissistic, and he has no respect for the Constitution or the rule of law. 3/13
He is not a conservative; rather, he is a would-be autocrat and fascist motivated exclusively by his personal self-interest. If you think he cares about you or your family, I assure you that he does not. He cares only about himself. 4/13
So why did the country not go completely off the rails last time? Because there were just enough senior officials who served as "guardrails." I assure you that there will be no "guardrails" in another Trump administration. 5/13
If Trump is re-elected, senior administration positions will be filled entirely by blindly ambitious or unqualified radicals and grifters who pass a test of personal loyalty to Trump. 6/13
There will be no "adults in the room" who stand up for the Constitution and our cherished American democratic institutions. 7/13
Perhaps you recognize Trump's many serious flaws, but you think you will benefit from some of his "policies" while escaping the effects of the chaos and lawlessness. To that I say the following: 8/13
1. Although Trump will tend to follow Project 2025 (a problem in itself), you can't trust him to implement any particular policy. Trump has no political principles. He will reverse any position any time if it suits his personal interest. Surely you've already noticed that. 9/13
2. You won't escape the disastrous effects of his policies (e.g., tariffs) on the economy, global instability and damage to national security resulting from his admiration for foreign dictators, or the chaos, lawlessness, and persecution that he promises. No one will. 10/13
But what about Kamala, you ask--if she's elected, won't the Democrats run amok implementing their dream list of leftist policies? No, they won't be able to do that. Please read this article, particularly "The Harris Risk" portion: 11/13
A Message for Haley Voters Still on the Fence
Understand, clearly, what Trump will do, what he could do, and also what Harris won't be able to do.

I disagree with Kamala Harris on many issues, but she will respect our constitutional system and the rule of law, and she will support our international alliances and allies. She has also pledged to appoint a Republican to her Cabinet. 12/13
I respectfully urge you to join me and many other conservatives and Republicans in voting for Kamala Harris. It's time to close the book on Trump and rebuild a truly conservative party based on respect for the Constitution, the rule of law, and each other.
