      It can work. You only need to peel off a few of the normal people and blunt his momentum. While as always you do need the rest of the population to turn up and vote.

      Trumps greatest fear would be dancing up on stage at a rally and having the audience silent then slowly start laughing at him when he starts talking his nonsense.

      Like the UN did.

      The emperor has no clothes. He is weird.

        I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but I just don’t see it changing any minds. I fear that anyone who could be convinced not to vote for Trump because he’s “weird” will be just as easily convinced not to vote for Harris for some equally vague, trivial reason. I say focus on the issues where Democrats can actually have an advantage, and leave the shit-flinging to the troglodytes that live in it.

      Hmm, and how do you sway fence sitters and braindead centrists?

        Are you implying that calling people names sways votes? Because then it doesn’t matter what the Dems call him, Trump will get every single “undecided” vote for the next century. No one calls people names as much or as bigly as he.

          Calling people names was also the official unofficial Democrat campaign strategy until Biden dropped out. Anyone who didn’t enthusiastically support him was a Russian troll and secret Toupee supporter.
