here is my .02 cents for the taking. Kamala Harris is a bad politician who most people think slept her way to the top. The campaign will get bogged down trying to change a perception. which is why we have the biden bike wreck and such. Accept that the perseption holds water acknowledge it. and move on. One of the Ways trumps gets away with things is he sees all publicity as positive. Trump is like Boxing promoter Don King , just without the brains. You are having issues because where is the phone evidence he offered so many troops to the capital but we do have his call to Zelensky in Ukraine. So, it can be spun like a witch hunt. Sarah Longwell pointed this out in her last focus group Podcast on the hunter verdict. Good example of a failure she went to latin america first and was criticized for that even though any management person would tell you go to source. If we are dealing with it at the border it is too late. Her, response when returning and not stoping at the border was even worse becuase most people are not policy wonks( I happen to be) she was paraphrasing how the swiss government was putting pressure of their major employers to pay those people to stay where they are at by hiring them. But she said it in the most wonkish way possible. I have a beef with JVL about Wage Growth, Inflation, and how Statistics manipulate things by papering over the problems using Large scale statistics to obscure that real wages have declined and significantly. If x number of billionaires raise their take home pay by Y and you apply that over the wage pool it looks like wage growth is say 4% while inflation is 3% you are beating inflation. Now this is coming from someone who Hated Statistics. It is why Lies, Damn Lies , and statistics holds true to this day
