‘Sometimes you have to concede things.’
A similar thing happened when suddenly after the Biden-Trump debate it was so obvious that all the D journalists had to sort of turn away from supporting his reelection.
12 days until the election.
The campaign manager ‘is not doing a good job’ and they're ‘afraid of their own shadow’ and they're going to walk into ‘a meaningful reset of the Democratic Party.’
So maybe Trump's strategy was right, doing all the interviews, even with hostile hosts, just going there and answering. And maybe the Democrat strategy of trying to push a candidate to the line without letting her be tested and tried, maybe that didn't work? People were questioning whether Trump was harming his chances doing it that way.
Harris for the first 2 months they didn't have her doing interviews, then they saw her polling was not faring well (for this reason perhaps) and they changed and she did interviews for the past month, but that seems not to be having success.
An interesting thing to find out will be, if Trump wins, how long before the anti-establishment, currently holding themselves to high standards because they face mainstream pressure to conform to what they don't believe, and are currently the go-to for real news and info, and a platform Trump and RFK visit and do long interviews (unlike the Democrats). How long after a Trump win until they either break from the new Trump mainstream in the face of disagreements, or turn to shill (perhaps corrupted by power benefits/leverage)?
I think currently, R and D are pretty divided, whereas R-supporting citizens all seem to think Trump will win, and D people I've asked seem to think Harris will win.
