So I'd like to take just a minute to break down a couple of attacks trump and his campaign are gonna leverage against the Biden/Harris ticket, and why they won't work. We'll leave aside trump's HISTORIC unpopularity.

So here we have the most obvious, and tired, attack the GOP has. The old "radical left" argument. They believe in this one b/c they think it does two things: divides the Dems and scares the middle.

They tried this with Obama. How'd that work out?
2/
The second line of attack they'll use is "she'll raise your taxes." Now leaving aside the civics lesson the trump administration has given the US about who ACTUALLY has the power to raise taxes, this one's a loser too. Americans WANT higher taxes on the rich.

So what we have here in the trump campaign and the RNC is a backwards looking messaging strategy that will only resonate with their base, and if you read my stuff at all you'll know what I say about that: if you're shoring up your base, you're losing.

Now one of two things will happen. The GOP will figure out these attacks aren't working or they won't. If they DO figure it out get ready for racism & misogyny writ large, loud and often.

Not how you win the middle, which they DESPERATELY need.
5/
If the GOP DOESN'T figure out their attacks aren't working, well then it's gravy for the Dems until November, and the numbers for the GOP will only get worse.

So yeah, they're in a lose/lose race now, thanks to embracing trump.

I'm good with that.
