    Is this the new campaign strategy for Trump? Instead of convincing voters to vote for you, you convince voters that the people they hate endorse your opponent?

    I await the endorsement of former Nixon staffers to confirm my hypothesis. Maybe sprinkle some nazi-sympathizers in for good measure.

    I mean, play to your audience? Looks like a post on X. But definitely not a good look for your core support.

    I think the right takeaway from this is that Trump is just bad, not evil, just bad.

    Chaney and Reagan wanted the haves to have more, at the expensive of the have nots.

    Trump is peddling stuff that means the haves will actually have less in the near future (looking at you project 2025).

    So this has nothing to do with morality, just a pragmatic move.

    As bad as Reagan was, he wasn’t trying to sell out the country nearly as blatantly as Donald Trump is. For the staff of one of the most conservative presidents in recent memory to say they would support the liberal candidate is not so much a bad thing for Kamala’s campaign as it is a bleak commentary on the state of reality.
