We are in the throes of silly season. Where do things stand? What should we make of yesterday's "October Surprises" against Trump, and why won't they work?
Excellent post. You can tell a great deal about what a campaign's internal polls show by the actions campaigns have taken in the last two weeks. If you are ahead, you work on turning out your weakest demographics - thus, Trump is trying to motivate young men on Joe Rogan. Harris, on the other hand, seems to be flailing about - as you say, throwing stuff up against the wall and hoping it will stick. She wants to target Republicans who voted for Nikki Haley, but they were high-information voters who need a reason to commit treason against their party. Harris seems to be assiduously avoiding doing so.

Waiting for "the other shoe to drop."
