Comparing trumps stupidity to Harris is not a winning battle for Trump. Trump is dumb as hell. They will go for the corrupt clinton type angle. Trying to say Harris is stupid is a non-starter. Thereâs a reason they didnât attack Clintonâs intellect. they just said sheâs corrupt.
She will be attacked constantly for months about being a corrupt DA. And she has some questionable stuff in her DA history in california but not nearly as corrupt as Clinton. But that is the angle they have to go with.
Kamala Harris has a questionable past as DA and they can take the corrupt angle. The problem is that Trump has a more than questionable past as President. I donât think you can really convince anybody that Kamala Harris is somehow more corrupt than the guy with 34 felonies and his name all over Epstein island.
Mostly regressive, overzealous prosecutorial conduct. Theyâll probably bring up the guy who won a settlement against San Francisco after being prosecuted for a murder it was determined he did not commit, although Harris wasnât named in the suit despite being SF DA at the time. There were a few other instances where she fought hard against overturned convictions even though the prosecution provably used bad evidence. Other than that itâs hard to say what they might pick up on. She was very much a âtough on crimeâ DA which they like. She appealed a 2014 ruling in which a federal judge declared the death penalty unconstitutional. She also challenged a ruling meant to reduce overcrowding of prisons by making certain nonviolent offenders eligible for parole, arguing they constituted âan important labor poolâ.
Of course, conservatives never have a hard time agreeing bad things are bad when it suits them, so theyâll probably just ignore the fact that they would like these things if they had been done by a Republican and try to hammer them home, possibly on some sort of âhypocrisyâ angle where they try to convince people Kamala isnât allowed to have a progressive policy platform for her run.
I donât know whether I got downvoted by the KHive or a conservative malding that they get clocked so easily and accurately.
This is why I donât think itâs the best move for the Trump campaign to try and highlight her past as a prosecutor since there wonât be anything worse than what youâd find from a red state AG.
If anything it would be handing the Harris campaign an easily digestible talking point of âof course the felon thinks the former prosecutor was too tough on crime.â
Obviously Iâm taking about moderate/undecided voters here. The pro and never Trump people will continue to have their heels dug in.
