    Trump’s whole schtick is to latch onto a red herring and run off deep into left field with it and make that the focal point, but the thing is that he’s lately been doing that kind of thing in a really bizarre manner (Hannibal Lector? wtf), so the more he talks, the better for Kamala. He’s starting to push it so far it’s all falling off the table and instead of just alienating undecides he’s starting to alienate moderate supporters. edit: dude has been coming off as ‘weird’ to his own lately

      Maybe but Fox’s whole thing has been to amplify “bad takes” and otherwise make unreasonable things sound good from the right wing while posing anything left wing and reasonable as sounding bad.

        True, but at the same time his base has spent the past 5 years hyperfocusing on Biden’s age and gaffes. I even know a Trump voter that’s going for Kamala this time because she apparently looks like she’d be tougher on crime, and Vance wears makeup (lol). What a time to be alive
