‘Donald Trump is losing his marbles,’ former Congressman and Republican Adam Kinzinger said
Republicans are concerned that party leader Donald Trump is having a “public nervous breakdown” after he made a series of offensive outbursts about Vice President Kamala Harris as he slips behind her in the polls.
The former president has made a number of insulting personal attacks against his Democratic rival since she moved to the top of the ticket. Last week, Trump questioned Harris’s racial identity at the National Association of Black Journalists conference. Over the weekend, he accused Harris of having a “low IQ.”
New polls indicate Trump is slipping behind the vice president in the popular vote and races are tightening in battleground states.
“This is what you would call a public nervous breakdown,” Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist and former Trump state department appointee, told Politico.
They forgot that this is exactly how he operated in 2016. My amateur theory is that he decided the safe and respectable route is what cost him 2020 and is going to cost him 2024, so he’s going back to what he believes ultimately made him win.
Meanwhile the Republicans are looking at the last eight years of near nonstop national defeats but don’t have a way of dealing with this bull in their party-equivalent of a China shop
“If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed and we will deserve it.” - Lindsey Graham
“Took fucking long enough”-me
Important to note that what Lindsey meant was that they would get “destroyed” in the election (which obviously did not happen), not that the party itself would be destroyed. But I hope that second meaning comes to pass regardless.
Let’s hope in hindsight it feels like a Monkey’s Paw Event
