How many times a week do you think Vlad "the Ras" Putin smiles when he thinks back to the aftermath of Obama' 2012 re-election and someone came up to him and said, "I think we have a candidate for disrupting America."
 
As an aside, I think law enforcement is learning that withholding names of suspects in custody too long is creating a vacuum filled by lunatic conspiracy theorists and seem to be moving back toward as much information disclosure as early as possible after some time of increasing foot-dragging (that seemed to be a reaction to people running down the social media footprint of suspects before cops could so and conspiracists launching fake social media accounts of the alleged suspect for their own purposes).

AI fakes will outrun the law. Unless Gubment puts some screws to companies driving AI like Apple, Tesla etc.
 
Last I saw the mayor had asked him not to come. Citing the already strained police officers and other civil servants.
He doesn't care what the mayor or any other official there wants or thinks. He'll go there, stir up even more animosity and hatred for immigrants there, cater to the local bigots, and then fly away and leave the mayor and city council and other local officials to deal with the mess he's created. It's basically what the guy does almost everywhere he goes.
 
He and Trump need to be confronted with DeWine’s words that this is all false, and force them to try to discredit a popular governor. This could backfire massively and really help Sherrod Brown.

I've seen more Harris tv ads in the last 5 days since the debate than in all the months leading up to it.

Reminder, I'm in Ohio...
 
Tom Emmer just got ROASTED on CNN. He also doubled down on the pet eating and blamed Kamala Harrises policies. It’s sad that the Majority Whip apparently doesn’t understand how the government works.
 

This makes sense and isn’t quite as schmuckish as everyone here wants to believe it is (as a campaign strategy).

Trump has everyone (left, right or center) talking about immigration in a small mid-west town. Does it matter he’s absolutely wrong on every point here? That it’s escalating out of control…..probably, no is the crappy but real answer.

I think Trump’s campaign thinks it’s a good thing which is why Vance is playing the martyr card here. Trump can be wrong on every fact, endangering folks in Springfield on both sides of the issue, but he knows broadly he is on the majority side re immigration and has squarely parked the media’s attention on him. And now you have a whole week of coverage on an immigration issue in a small mid-west town.

In a more rational world, he’d pay a price for so callously using these people. Spouting just inane gibberish. And targeting a largely legal Haitian community. We don’t live in that world anymore.
 
We all know why they're doing it. At least there are some media members calling them out on their bullshit.
I'm not sure it's getting them the traction they think it is. Especially when the republican governor of the state is calling them out.

Yeah, this feels like more evidence of a campaign that has given up on getting new voters and is trying to find something to get its base fired up enough to match Dem enthusiasm. The problem is Trump’s base has never been large enough for him to win. He must either get a lot of moderates or convince Dems to stay home, and nothing about the Springfield story is likely to help him with that.

I would LOVE to have a peek at Trump’s internals right now. I have a feeling they’re dire, and one of the worst numbers for him is the enthusiasm gap. That would explain a lot of the “throw crazy against the wall” strategy we’ve seen since the debate.

Or, maybe, they see an opportunity to activate the sympathetic nervous system of just enough burb and exburb soccer moms in neighboring PA? Yeah, maybe they piss off the entire 60k pop of Springfield, OH, and a few surrounding communities, but those numbers don't put OH at risk.

From the data I have seen come in, outside of the base, no one believes the stuff about Ohio. It's not resonating as an issue (outside of the trauma THEY have brought to the community...ie backfiring)
