Kamala Harris gets it. Yes, we should fear Trumpā€”but we should also mock him mercilessly, because it drives him nuts.

Donald Trump is in free-fall. ReadĀ this descriptionĀ from Sundayā€™sĀ Washington PostĀ of how the GOP nominee spent last week: ā€œ[A]ides did not want a situation where he was watching the convention every night, getting angry, and then just golfing all day and stewing, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private interactions. Trump also had grown annoyed with the news coverage that depicted him as not working as hard as his opponent, one person who talked to him said.ā€

If you didnā€™t know that the article was about Trump and you just read it cold without knowledge of the context, you might think it was a description of parents trying to figure out how to handle an ungovernable four-year-old. So they convinced Trump to get out of Bedminster and hit the road, trading suck-ups with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In the past, TrumpĀ has calledĀ Kennedy the ā€œdumbest memberā€ of the Kennedy family and a ā€œradical left lunatic.ā€ KennedyĀ has calledTrump a ā€œterrible human beingā€ and ā€œprobably a sociopath.ā€

    In the modern era the gop usually loses the popular vote. GW won it in 04 bc of the war and thatā€™s the only one since his daddy ended his term.

    Before that I think the popular vote pretty much always lined up w the electoral college for both parties.
