It is, because he’s so aggressive and confrontational. There is a lot of evidence he has a serious anger problem. The best way to confront a bully isn’t with love and cuddles. It’s with their own attitude right back at them. If he was less bombastic and obnoxious the left would still hate his politics (you aren’t wrong on that). 
 
Trump is your high school bully who, when you punch back (metaphorically), runs and tattles to his friends or a teacher and then acts shocked-shocked he got punched. 
 
Trump is the last guy on Earth who can say “play fair, be polite and nice.” Nope. He wanted this, he got it. 

Historian Allan Lichtman (a professor with an impressive track at predicting the outcome of presidential elections) made his prediction today and said that Kamala Harris will become the next President.

We’ll see. Eventually if the GOP gets shellacked in 2024 there will be no other choice. Or they can continue to lose. Whatever works.  

This was also posted on his truth social site. So he’s pro choice now. I guess

I can't find the 70% quote, but he incorrectly claimed that there are 60 million Americans in poverty (real number is roughly 38M). His crappy website won't link the exact post, but it's on his Truth Social feed, along with several dozen other posts railing against Kamala's speech, including one defending his decision to kill Biden's border bill, which was endorsed by Border Patrol. The Harris campaign needs to keep hammering that point, because it puts a pretty big hole in the GOP narrative that Kamala did nothing as border czar. She and Joe tried to secure the border. The GOP balked because it's an election year. Dems aren't going to let them forget that.
 

I may have to watch the debate.
For entertainment purposes of course.

Excellent points, but then the terrifying conclusion is that he is not only a narcissist, but a fully functional sociopath. Which makes him much worse.  I view him as a keyboard warrior incarnate who never had to experience consequences for his terrible behavior. 
I can not wait for this show to be over and for the republican party to get back on track. 

It’s detestable, but it’s also validating to those of us who thought Trump was an out of control bully. We told you so.  

I've seen a lot of baseless claims that usually fall apart under the slightest bit of real scrutiny. I've seen GOP officials in Georgia attacked repeatedly for refusing to play ball with Trump's claims. I saw Mike Pence evacuated from the Capitol building while a mob stormed it. I saw Trump tweeting about Pence being a coward and a traitor while police forces were being overwhelmed on the Capitol grounds. Those are the facts that I've seen.

Excellent points. And of course, the only crowd that matters is the one that shows up on election day. 

It's not nothing, to be sure. I just don't think it's worth the amount of energy that some people give the topic, especially in today's environment where we have things like virtual town halls and social media campaigns. Political campaigns, at their core, are just high-stakes advertising campaigns, and advertising is everywhere these days.

At no point in time has MAGA been the target audience for blue messaging, just like the GOP typically doesn't target people like me. Hardened partisan voters tend to forget that election season isn't about red or blue hats. It's about the union workers in the rust belt, the suburbanites who "don't really follow politics", and disillusioned voters from the opposition. Being reminded of this is probably the biggest benefit I've received from my work as an organizer. We get so used to talking to people who agree with us that we forget how to talk to people who aren't sold on our position, but could be swayed to be.

Magahats? No. There’s nothing Trump can do to alienate them. It’s not a political movement, it’s a cult. And yes, Obamabots did the same thing.   
Swing voter veterans/troops? Absolutely, even though there aren’t many left. 

For those unfamiliar, the VFW is an uncompromisingly apolitical organization. Their members are forbidden from making political endorsements on the organization's behalf. They can't even wear VFW apparel at campaign events. For them to release a statement about a current presidential candidate, even a statement unrelated to the election, is incredibly rare and significant. Kamala has already been swimming in momentum ever since Joe stepped aside. I have a hard time seeing how Trump recovers from this. If anything, I expect he'll probably put the VFW in his crosshairs and make things worse. The Dems already have ammo to paint him as anti-military. This is like Christmas morning for the Harris campaign.

Fine, we'll go back to calling the GOP presidential candidate a sexual predator, serial liar, and traitor to the United States Constitution. I'm cool with that if calling him "weird" is too offensive.

I agree, it's a vile and unacceptable insinuation. Welcome to the every day life of a transgender person. The LGBT community, especially T, has been the target of unfounded, heinous accusations for years. No, it doesn't make it right when liberals do it. But let's be clear that this isn't coming from a vacuum. And while JD Vance's "weirdness" has been fabricated for memes, Trump's has not. There are real, documented accusations of predatory behavior. Heck, there's a recording of him bragging about assaulting women. Here in Minnesota, a major GOP donor is currently serving a 21 year prison sentence for trafficking minors. The former chairwoman of the MN GOP had to resign over it because she was his biggest benefactor.
Many people of faith buy into transphobic rhetoric and accusations while some of their own faith communities are infested with actual predators. Southern Baptists and Catholics both have very public predator problems. I know four LDS men with records of abuse and sexual assault. One of them was engaged to my sister when she found a hidden camera placed by him in her BYU-I dorm bathroom. Another is a former high school teacher who was married to an LDS high school friend of mine. I won't elaborate, but he's probably going to be in prison for the rest of his life.
A lot of children have been harmed by wolves in sheep's clothing and have seen their abusers suffer no consequences, or simply "go away". Sometimes the victims are manipulated into believing that they're at fault for the horrible thing that happened to them. Then they grow up and learn how many others have had similar experiences, and they start thinking that maybe the churches are filled with wolves. They even see known wolves propped up and celebrated by their former faith communities. It's not a fair characterization, but I think a lot of Christians underestimate how much harm some of their representatives have inflicted on the innocent.

He's a cat-loving miltary veteran and a former teacher who legalized weed, implemented free school lunches, passed PFML, and signed an anti-junk fee bill named after a Taylor Swift album. The whole "GOP is weird" shtick that Dems have been flooding the airwaves with? Walz started that. He has strong appeal over a wide range of demographics, and he's everything J.D. Vance pretends to be. He's the perfect white dude to grab swing voters without compromising on progressive issues.

So wait... some Christians are offended for what they thought was a mockery of the Last Supper but they have no problem defending a convicted felon who bragged about grabbing a woman's private parts??

Over $100M raised in under a week is pretty impressive any way you slice it. The media didn't do that.
