Thankfully Project 2025 is hitting the msm. I mean, more than Rachael Maddow!

That will be a big football for Trump to carry, and will show people just what’s in store. Joe bashing will be a thing of the past.

I almost feel worse about it hitting the mainstream. In the past Trump owned everything and put his ego above his electoral prospects at times. This time around he is locked in on winning. The 2020 Trump would've never disavowed the 2025 project or made sure the anti-abortion language is stripped down and out of his message. It tells me he is on his A game and will do what it takes to win including staying disciplined in a debate form and disavowing the worst elements.

Trump's disavowal of Project 2025 is a bald faced lie that should be screamed from the Bulwark. That's reality, what we've been getting is a wallow in hypotheticals for the past week. Can we please get back to reality.

It's not Project 2025 specifically. It's just the observation that Trump is running a far better campaign in 2024 than he did in either 2016 & 2020. And Biden is running a far worse campaign than in 2020. He barely won last time and is significantly behind now.

I always thought Trump could beat anyone this year. But the momentum he is gaining now makes it hard to see how a Democrat could even get to 35% chance. And Biden might have a cap less than that.

It's just not great anyway you look. I've been a huge fan of Biden and him running again to avoid a contested primary but its changed and he's too damaged.

You are so correct. I don't know whom I'm more upset with at this point, Biden or his shitty advisors who seem unable to see the writing on the wall. It's written in blood for Christ's sake. If I had a time machine back to July 2023, I'd choose Shapiro/Whitmer or vis versa, Wes Moore/Liz Cheney. Either of those two would trounce Tangerine bronzer.
