I'm always puzzled by these claims about Harris' lack of policies. No one ever made this complaint about the Biden-Harris campaign, which is now the Harris-Walz campaign. Did Biden's withdrawal wipe the policy slate clean?

We'll know in November if Harris loses. If she wins, we won't know until January. I truly believe that the Trump campaign will attempt to get state legislatures to interfere with the EC and try to kick it to the house. Or even to use ops, payoffs, and threats to create faithless electors.

I like this framing of the candidates’ opposite approaches to campaigning for votes.

One campaign seeks to engage hearts and minds for better government. The other seeks to buy power through a sequence of calculated transactions.

One may well result in better government. The other will surely bring more chaos, disunity and weakening of our social, political and economic fabric.

I know who our enemies hope wins.

You wrote: "Trump’s general election campaign will be heavy on [attempts at] policy discussions, heavy on economy-bashing, heavy on media availabilities, light on lofty ideals, and surprisingly light on sweat equity." But it's not light on "ideals." White Christian nation is the overriding ideal. It is not lofty, but that is in the eye of the beholder.

It's empty blather vs. unhinged baloney. What a choice!
