Trump has Zero interest in appealing to anyone outside of his MAGA base. The Vance pick is the best evidence of this. I'm not sure if it's delusional (e.g. "How can I lose? - look at all the people at my rallies!"), if he simply doesn't care if he wins or not, or he is physically and mentally incapable of behaving any other way. I'm thinking a combination of all three. What say you, Bernie & John?

I've said before to not underestimate Republicans' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. That being said, Harris's honeymoon will end. Let's see and hear how she does extemporaneously and at debates. Plus, as you rightly say, she has a record not easy to defend. I believe she will revert to type. As for voters, 100 days should serve to concentrate the mind.

One correction, though. No matter if the race is called for Harris, and regardless the margin of victory, Trump will never concede or believe he lost.
