    Everything has to be connected to the deeper case that Ms. Harris is weak and a phony and doesn’t truly care about the country or the middle class. The scattershot Trump attacks on Harris need to be refocused on these character attributes.

    Even the argument as stated in the essay is pretty stupid. Yeah the John Kerry Sail Surfing angle probably won’t work on her. Sorry.

        It plays well to a lot of spiteful people. Who just want to see the systems that have wronged them be destroyed in fire and brimstone, rather than be improved.

          That I understand. I’ve been there, but that isn’t the solution. It doesn’t lead to more happiness.

      They actually brought in somebody who isn’t a regular columnist to make this claim; even Dowd isn’t this bonkers.
