Trump campaign death spiral

[Anonymous]

Wow. Trump is barely even there functionally. Trying to read the Al Smith Dinner joke script that was written for him by FOX News and barely managing. Low low energy, fatigued, pathetic. This is elder abuse.

Whatever thin filter he once ever had is completely gone.

Here he says what he really thinks of his supporters.

Ha ha. Maybe Trump didn't pay his bill so someone sabotaged them.

What a loser. Can't run a rally. Can't run a country. Time to go home, Gramps.

Trump can’t manage his way out of a paper bag.

That event center is all unionized labor, so it was obviously corrupt Wayne County machine union sabotage. With advance notice to every outlet they were going to do it to spam the narrative. Feels very desperate. If Kamala was up big would they act so desperate? Must have some pretty bad internals in Michigan.

Waste of time to do big events in Detroit. None of his voters live within 30 minutes of there. Not just the drive, they gotta pay $50-100 to park around there vs free parking in the burbs.

Pro-trump PAC funded by Elon struggles with outreach

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/pro-trump-group-funded-by-musk-struggles-with-outreach-targets-inflation-2024-10-18/

The political action committee funded by billionaire Elon Musk to help re-elect former U.S. President Donald Trump is struggling in some swing states to meet doorknocking goals and is investigating claims that some canvassers lied about the number of voters they have contacted, according to people involved in the group's efforts.

The difficulties, in pivotal battleground states including Wisconsin and Nevada, come as the group, America PAC, races to enlist voters behind the Republican candidate in the final two weeks before the Nov. 5 election. Four people involved in the group's outreach told Reuters that managers warned canvassers they are missing targets and needed to raise the number of would-be voters they contact.

Alysia McMillan, who canvassed for the PAC in Wisconsin, said field organizers recently told campaigners there they weren't reaching daily objectives and were on track to miss an ultimate goal of contacting 450,000 voters by Election Day. In one meeting with canvassers, recorded by McMillan and reviewed by Reuters, a manager warned of the shortfall.

One canvassing manager in Arizona said leaders there had issued similar warnings. Three other people familiar with the outreach told Reuters that Chris Young, a Musk aide and longtime Republican operative, had recently traveled to Nevada to audit whether doorknocking tallies there had been inflated by some of the workers hired by contractors. Another person briefed on the matter said America PAC was struggling to find sufficient people to conduct audits in other states.

Despite the influx of cash, some of America PAC's outreach has been plagued by disarray, the people familiar with its efforts told Reuters. As with many campaign operations, the group has hired contractors to carry out grass-roots efforts, relying on hourly workers to knock on doors and speak face-to-face with potential voters.

Some of those workers have been difficult to retain. Three canvassers, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters the work isn't worth the pay, starting at some contractors at as low as $20 per hour. In some cases, they added, canvassers drive long distances in remote areas and don't get reimbursed for gasoline.

In Nevada, it isn't clear whether Young's audit has concluded, reached any findings or prompted any change in America PAC's outreach. Text messages reviewed by Reuters show managers at one Nevada contractor, Lone Mountain Strategies, fretting because they had to fire canvassers who used smartphone apps to disguise their locations and lie about their doorknocking numbers.

"Our auditors keep catching people cheating," one of the messages read. "We've fired two people today and auditors are going around checking doors for flyers."

But but but I thought Trump was LOVED by workers! That he is the defender of the working man and woman. Are you changing the narrative? You mean people who labor for a living don't actually want a union buster who refuses to pay overtime or even his bills to be president? What a surprise!

Sounds like the Trump campaign isn't very smart then.

He’s trying to get Republican-leaning independents, double haters and soft Nikki Haley voting Republicans. Standard campaign stuff, he knows what he’s doing.

Has Casey been appearing at any campaign events with Harris?

Yes.

Because with a Trump VP candidate like this, there is no way they’re winning over any undecided votes.

I remember 2016 too well to form such a strong declarative sentence but I feel pretty much the same way. Setting aside all serious discussions and seizing on one of those small things as emblematic of his larger problems: what the hell kind of American doesn’t have donut preferences? “Whatever makes sense.” Have you never eaten donuts? Do you not ever buy them for your staff? You don’t know what your assistants like?

Somehow that little thing drives home the point that he’s essentially not human, and that Donald Trump’s picker is so far out of whack that couldn’t sense this strange boy’s off-ness says it all about Trump and his current inability to function. Once upon a time Trump had a rat king like ability to read the room.

Harris said it best, Trump is not a serious man because a serious man would not have picked such a weak vice presidential candidate. I feel odd saying this, but if he really wanted to win, he would have picked somebody like Nikki Haley, who has broader appeal. Politics aside she is smart and capable, and definitely knows how to connect with people. The more I watch a Vance, the bigger the head scratcher is for me.

He doesn’t even want her voters.

Wrong. His campaign is in talks to appear with Haley on the campaign trail

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/18/politics/donald-trump-nikki-haley-campaign/index.html

Yeah, they’ve been in those “talks” for months yet Fox & Friends asked him if he had plans to bring her along and all he said was that he beat her like a drum. Dumb.
