Ha! Did Rogan finally hear that Trump’s Projexf 2025 wants to ban porn? Bet that one isn’t popular among the barstool crowd.

Trump in 2016 or Trump in 2020, might have been able to salvage the race, but his decline in the last four years is huge and escalating rapidly. The age-related deterioration has increased almost exponentially. The difference in Trump from 2023 to 2024 is so obvious.

The support is a steadily dripping away from him. By the elections, he will have very little beyond his hardcore base and a few people who really, really dislike Harris. He will be lucky to have the 46% that he had when he beat Clinton, but I project that he'll have under 45% of the popular vote. And I expect that there will be no electoral college Hail Mary for him this time. The week that Biden abdicated the Democratic nomination was Trump's peak. The ABH (anybody but Harris) demographic is significantly smaller than the ABB demographic. And the ABT demographic is growing. The more that Trump appears in public and the more that see how far he has deteriorated, the bigger the ABT group grows.

Good read.

When the race was still Biden vs. Trump, the strategy was to try to appeal to the median voter. A median voter strategy means low turnout - you're not trying to appeal to the die hards. Hence you saw Trump trying to pivot to the center (in spite of Project 25) and Biden starting to crack down on immigration (his executive order in June, vocal support for the toughest immigration bill in decades, etc). This is a good strategy for two old guys running for office - you keep your public appearances few and far between.

But now with Harris on the ticket? The election is no longer about appealing to the median voter. It's now about momentum and turning out the base. Republicans were completely taken by surprise that Biden dropped out. And due to the timing of everything - with the DNC convention so late in August due to the Olympics - the Democrats control the momentum and media cycle until September. In short, Republicans were completely outflanked. They walked right into a trap.

The Trump campaign has not pivoted from a median voter strategy to one that is about creating excitement for base turnout. It's really hard to make that pivot when you're in your late 70s because it requires constant travel and public appearances. That's why you have guys like Nick Fuentes trying to tell the Trump team that they need to throw out their current playbook. If he wants to have any chance, he needs to energize his base (which has dwindled since 2016 due to dying off and people no longer interested in Trump).

I think this really lays it out quite brilliantly. Thank you for this.

I think the Republicans trying to chase the base isn’t going to work for the reasons you suggest, but also because if Trump starts getting loud about his plan to be a dictator and Project 2025’s plans to end both First Amendment rights and women’s full citizenship, they’re going to turn off so many “moderates” who are, at their heart, Republican but can’t stomach the worst of the GOP when the GOP is open with their plans. But I imagine that the Trump team will turn to that at some point, if only to get more bodies at the rallies and with the result that November will look like a reverse Reagan with Trump losing in a crazy landslide.

I think this is also quite accurate and insightful.

Reports say that the Trump campaign knew after the debate that there was a strong possibility that Biden would drop out and that Harris would be the nominee if that happened. I don’t know why they’re still acting flat-footed.

After the debate, they tried out several tactics. The problem is that each resonated in limited measure with some subgroups, but none were completely successful. So much has changed over the last 3-4 weeks. They have unsuccessfully been trying to play catch up. But Harris spin is controlling the news cycle and the Trump campaign cannot get on the hamster wheel.

First Biden dropped and Harris started coalescing the Democrats to her ticket. At that point, the Trump campaign was still trying to use the RNC bump and the announcement of Vance. But Vance's nomination as VP was a failure, and the Biden/Harris switch completely overran any bump from the RNC convention.

So they try to pivot to attacking Harris, but she's already moved on. She reached out to delegates and pulled in the delegates to get the nomination. And the news cycle was talking about how fast she brought the votes together and how much money she was raising. The Trump campaign tried multiple attacks from bigotry (is she black or Indian? She's not a competent woman) to the border czar failure, to she's just Biden 2.0 and none of the attacks seemed to pull the news cycle away from her and definitely did not slow the donations and definitely did not slow the momentum.

While the Trump campaign was still trying to work on successful messaging, the bad news started to roll in that Harris has turned most of the Trump advances with minorities back, so all the work he had done for the last year, convincing minorities that he would be better for them than Biden, completely turned around. Harris had energized young voters to register to vote, had strengthened her position with women and minorities. Trump tried to pivot to show that he was still relevant to minorities and it failed.

Then came the Veepstakes, which again dominated the news cycle. People were talking about her short list and it only highlighted the fact the Trump....chose poorly...when it came to VP selection. Vance was supposed to bring midwestern and middle class votes, but he did not change the numbers at all. The only people who were Vance supporters, were already Trump supporters and he changed no minds. But the Veepstakes were very engaging and created a lot of positive vibes to the Harris campaign as people debated a good short list of candidates.

The Trump campaign was caught flatfooted not because they didn't know in advance, but because they never found anything successful to turn the news cycle and to effective change any minds that were not made up. Biden v Trump has about 2% undecided. When Harris stepped in, the undecideds shot up to 9% taking pretty equally from Biden and Trump. In the 3 weeks since then, Harris has done more to convince that 9% to side with her and against Trump. Harris continues to dominate the news cycle, and Trump is still having problems finding anything effective to change the momentum.

That’s just what they say.

He gets a little bit too early and a little bit too late.

Agree with this. Would also add that part of Trump’s problem is that he has nothing to offer. His grievance litany is just not a compelling thing to vote for.

In contrast, Harris and Walz have been upbeat and can-do. It’s just more American than grim vengeance.

For the record, this isn’t an endorsement. This is me saying that I like RFKjr as a person, and I really appreciate the way he discusses things with civility and intelligence.
I think we could use more of that in this world.

I also think Trump raising his fist and saying “fight!” after getting shot is one of the most American fu**ing things of all time.
I’m not the guy to get political information from. If you want that from a comic, go to

^ Very much. Also he's basically MIA. It's so ironic after he called Biden Basement Joe that he's just hiding out, nowhere to be seen - and when he does appear it is such a sh**show.

He's got Vance trotting about and that's not exactly helping!
