Break up Google, Starbucks CEO out, Kamala’s price controls, Boeing disaster, Kursk offensive

I remain undecided, moderate, left-leaning moderate, have voted Republican 35% of the time, Democrat 65% of the time. And I've been studying the strategy here. Her strategy is crushing Trump. So obviously it's working. Now, I don't like it. I think everybody should be doing debates. I was really upset that there wasn't a debate or a speed run primary.

I don't like the fact that Trump and Biden skipped out on the primary debates. I think they should be forced to do debates, forced to do interviews. And so on that front, I hate what this is doing to democracy. Now, pragmatically, Running out the clock as a strategy and not defining your positions too much and just selling the vibes is a brilliant strategy and it's working.

And as Trump said, the VPs don't matter. What she did as VP doesn't really matter. What JD Vance thinks as VP doesn't matter. VPs don't matter. You're voting for the president, the VPs get in line. Trump's positions, JD Vance flipped a bunch of his positions to align with Trump. And I think Kamala did the same when she worked with Biden.

That's your job is to align with the president now that she's her own. And Waltz is going to flip to her. So I think they're putting out moderate vibes. I think they're kind of socialists. I think they're not as socialist as Bernie and Elizabeth Warren, but they're not moderates, but they're pretending to be moderates. And that is working as a strategy. They are demolishing Trump.

And then Trump is, you know, getting bad advice around him. I think, you know, if I was to handicap this and I'll wrap up, it would just one more minute. I think Trump was so good on all in. He was so good at the RNC for the first half of his speech. When he is presidential, when he has a big open tent, I love him. I think he's great.

And I think he's like world positive when he goes into grievance. culture, when he goes after the race stuff like he did with the black journalists, when he goes after gender or J.D. does the gender stuff and the cat stuff. I hate that stuff. Moderates hates that stuff. Women hate that stuff. And the moderates and the women in the swing states will decide the election.

And Trump's campaign is floundering right now. They have to get they have to flip it back to that Trump 2.0 I described many times where he's serious presidential, not bullying people, not doing the incel comic thing, this going after waltz, going after cat ladies. It's just gross and not necessary. So I think maybe Trump, after the DNC, will go back to Trump 2.0. That would be much better.

And I think Trump has a chance of winning if he does that. If Kamala goes moderate, I think she's going to win. So that's my strategic take. I remain undecided as a voter.

I think in her heart, she's between like if you had Clinton and a great question, if you had Clinton and you had a, you know, Bernie Sanders, I think she kind of falls between the two. But I think she's pretending to be a moderate to get votes.

You know, just like Trump will pretend to be super right wing to get the, you know, or act it up. But he's kind of a moderate to socially.
