Close the deal

Opinions are a dime-a-dozen, so here's another.

If you believe the polls, Trump is leading the race. That's a big "if". Allowing for it to be true, it behooves a candidate to do whatever is necessary to secure that win.

So how do you do that?

Harris wants to paint Trump as dangerous. Trump has to show that he is not. He has to parry her thrusts effectively. To say that she is desperate is perhaps too obvious. You have to show why she is wrong. That could be done, I think, within reason. Dismissing all charges as desperation isn't quite good enough. I'd say that the Trump response could get better.

Even so, Harris is no position to claim innocence.

I'd hate to see a winnable race get lost because someone gets overconfident. Just saying.

The best outcome is a blow out win, but even a blow out win will get trimmed by cheating. A close win could get stolen. A close loss could become a leftist mandate. Do be careful that you don't let up the pressure, and start relaxing. A bad surprise is definitely not the ticket this time around.
