I find that any time anyone with any sense of logic says "Trump needs to _________ at this debate", he does the opposite. Clinton and present-day Biden were awful debaters and Harris is not going to be any better, but I guarantee Trump shooting himself in the foot is going to be the key takeaway like it always is.

I agree with this 100%. It'd be fairly easy to flip that Harris campaign message on it's head. "What do they not want to go back to? Lower taxes? Safer world? 10 million+ people not entering our country illegally? Lower inflation?" Like you said, Trump doesn't need to prove that he will fix all of that. He just needs to neuter that attack line. It really wouldn't be too hard. Unfortunately for Trump, and by extension Republicans, he can't seem to stay on a consistent message to save his life. He always resorts back to the usual name calling, race baiting, nasty politics that won him the 2016 cycle. He doesn't seem to realize that those same tactics will not work again this cycle, just like they didn't work again in 2020.

After the threat of smoke the last few days for today, there really isn’t much more than there’s been the last few weeks. Hasn’t been that bad this year considering how many fires there are. Winds have been just right I guess. Or wrong if you like the smoke, which some people here do. I don’t mind it all that much, it smells great, I just pretend I’m camping.

90F!!!

pretty healthy breeze out of the NE keeping smoke away today 83 out, nice day
