Thanks for highlighting this article. Tim Alberta is one of my favorite Never Trumpers and his breakdowns of campaign strategy are terrific.

PS - if I ever put together a Punk/New Wave band, we're definitely going to be The Chaos Muppets.

In other words, nothing in this story is new. Trump sows chaos. People eagerly show up to help him sow chaos. Some eventually burn out from the chaos. The true chaos lovers remain.

When I read the Tim Alberta piece, I thought about writing a summary, but now I don't have to, because you have nailed it. Spot on!

I know there’re bigger issues at play, but students of politics are going to study how Harris and her campaign managed to get her to the election as well as they have.

Dumb? I think Trump refers to them more accurately as “Suckers.”

I categorically object to this due to the calumny of maligning the noble Bulldog. No Bulldog would ever want anyone to be anything but well fed, warm, comfortable and loved.

Does he crave chaos or does he feel the need to ratchet up the spectacle, no matter how grotesque, to keep his troops engaged? Re: Resignation....the troops on the ground must envy the philosopher princes over at Project 2025. It will be interesting to watch how they contend with Mr. Chaos.

Smh, Trumps team never had control over the evil trump spewed.

They loved the hate, and spewed it themselves, and it got crazier.

To lay claim to any truimph in the beginning of said campaign of 2024, to normalize him is wasted.

He was always hating on women, and it was normalized by MSM.

No question who to vote for if you are a female in America.

I'm grateful for good men who know a women's worth.

We lift each other up.

"For the past 20 months, he'd been hemmed in by a campaign built on the principles of restraint and competence." Wow.

Email immediately previous to this one is from Jewish Insider saying that they are forced to conclude that Trump is not closing effectively and has not locked down NC. (These same people thought that Trump had momentum in all the states where the Senate race had tightened)
