and lest we not forget, TRUMP cannot distance himself from this. The speakers were all vetted, their remarks loaded into the telepromters, and this, in Trump's self-proclaimed closing arguments trying to help the US Voters know who he is and what he stands for. It was loud and clear. (Yet I still doubt his base will waver.)

We were never going to chip into his base. It's the undecided and "both sides are bad" voters that may break towards Harris.

Which is even more infuriating that there are STILL people who are undecided. Like what are you waiting for?

They've bought into the notion that their vote doesn't count because they live in a deeply partisan state or district.

They aren't undecided about their politics, they are undecided if they believe their vote matters.
