Yep. Harris could say, "I'm sorry, but JD is a poor pick from Trump which highlights his poor judgement. He's inexperienced and has a multitude of positions that alienate voters. Did Trump not know or care that JD wants no rape exception? Did Trump not know or care that JD is hyper focused on women's fertility?" etc.

"Well, JD's a weird guy. Might be something to ask Trump about, but, really, his history of choosing "the best people" is not that great. How many people in his orbit have been indicted? How many have done prison time? How many did he fire shortly after hiring them? He's just not good at this and the choice of JD seems be be more of the same."
And if he dumps JD, the ads are going to be going out like a tidal wave.
(points below are made up and aren't percentage points, just scoring points)
He's mostly screwed with JD right now. Stick with him, -10 points. Replace him and 30% chance of +5 points and 70% chance of -20 points.
The only way that works for him is if -10 points is enough to cost him the election. In that case, any chance of a positive movement is worth taking. Of course what it says about a leader that puts himself in such a position in the first place....

I might even recommend a more indirect approach.

Good one. Add in all the ones he's had that have come out to say how bad he is.
"A person can claim they are good at picking people, but reality is where we go for truth on something like that."
There are so many variations on the same theme:
Guys like Rex Tillerson, whom he called brilliant when he brought him in and then "dumb as a rock" after he fired him.
Guys who quit because they couldn't work for him. Great when hired, dumb when fired.
Guys he praised who then wound up in jail.
The list is long.

Oh, sorry, knowltok. I lost the thread when you brought in the math.
Chevy Chase has entered the chat!
right--remember Trump stated that Doug might be an issue b/c he signed a strict abortion law in ND.
