Well…mostly I look at focus groups within this podcast, which confirm that two-time Trump voters who were taken aback by Jan 6 were still throwing up because of Trump, post debate. As far as Harris goes, she hasn’t been very visible. Yes, she will need to project gravitas to people who aren’t convinced, but you can’t deny she is light on her toes. I happen to like her a lot personally, but I don’t think agreeing with me is all that critical. I don’t want Trump to win, and a brokered convention would feed into his habitual narrative of chaos which we are right now feeding into. There are of course people who say Biden will make a sudden recovery. But when even the surgeon general, a man for whom I have a lot of respect, says he would urge cognitive testing, I’m afraid.

Biden should throw down the gauntlet with Trump: challenge him to a duel of cognitive tests. They both take the same test on the same day, administered by the same doctor, and the results of both tests are released to the public at the same time. If Trump refuses the challenge, it could help to neutralize the issue for Biden.

While they're at it, they could also take drug tests. I'm sure Trump would refuse that one!
