The reason all these attacks don’t stick like they did in 2016 is because Trump is a fully known commodity by everyone everywhere. And even his supporters on this web site are on record saying he is loathsome, awful, liar, and adulterer. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg that doesn’t include his criminality, business fraud and espionage indictments and his sexual assaults and child trafficking.
So how do Trumpers expect voters to get worked up at these ridiculous piddly swift boat attempts?
It would require the US citizens to have selective amnesia about Trump.
Then Daily Beast columnist Michael Tomasky called Romney a “race-mongering pyromaniac.” Why? Because he referred to Obamacare as — wait for it — “Obamacare” in a speech to the NAACP.
Trump's really in trouble if your new tactic is to cry about how Dems treated Mitt Romney.
Here's a quote about Mitt Romney - "Mitt Romney never knew how to win. He is a pompous ‘ass’ who has been fighting me from the beginning, except when he begged me for my endorsement for his Senate run (I gave it to him), and when he begged me to be Secretary of State (I didn’t give it to him). He is so bad for R’s!" - Trump said that.

it's really just tribal politics...trump is trying to pull his tribe in close and make anyone in trumplandia who thinks about voting for Harris a traitor. And in white communities, a race traitor.
Dems are so loathed in trumplandia that you can just do 'two minute hate' sessions and that works pretty well. Trump himself matters but the Rs are relying on hate to win.
Two minutes hate. Sort of a like a trump rally:
In the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) by George Orwell, the Two Minutes Hate is the daily period during which members of the Outer and Inner Party of Oceania must watch a film depicting Emmanuel Goldstein, the principal enemy of the state, and his followers, the Brotherhood, and loudly voice their hatred for the enemy and then their love for Big Brother.[1] The political purpose of the Two Minutes Hate is to allow the citizens of Oceania to vent their existential anguish and personal hatred toward politically expedient enemies: Goldstein and the enemy super-state of the moment. In re-directing the members' subconscious feelings away from the Party's governance of Oceania and toward non-existent external enemies, the Party minimises thought crime and the consequent subversive behaviours of thoughtcriminals.[2]

Go ahead an clutch those pearls.
Not about how Dems treated Romney. It is how dirty the Dems play and how they just love getting in the gutter and squashing around in the filth. You destroyed Robert Bork and they attemped to destroy Clarence Thomas. They attempted to destroy Trump for 8 years. They will destroy ANYONE who gets in their way. They will lie gleefully. They invented getting in the gutter.

The dumb parts id the attacks only highlight just how awful Trump is.
Like the stupid attack on Walz - He got a DUI - Trump is a convicted felon
Walz retired before deployment - Trump faked bone spurs, called our soldiers suckers and losers.
Biden took supposedly took $8 million - Trump took $10 million from Egypt, funneled $160 million to his golf properties, Ran a pay for play hotel in DC, facilitated a $2 billion Saudi "loan" to his son in law, took $250 million in campaign funds to pay legal bills.
Walz was governor during the George Floyd riots - Trump incited a riot at the Nation's Capitol and attempted to end the democratic process.
Harris had sex with Willie Brown - Trump has 5 children with 3 women and cheated on every one of them, has to pay off a porn star.
The attacks don't stick because no matter what they come up with Trump has done worse.

Clarence Thomas does a great job of making himself look bad. Nobody needs to do anything other than draw attention to his actions. Same with Trump.
Since you're our resident pedant - what's attemped?

This is a good take that makes sense. Trump always has his cult base base. (the Garys and NoYankees). But he must keep his voters from 2020 that aren't his base (think Veterans and The Villages types) They are kinda sick of his tired schtick. And they can see him deteriorating fast. But if he can convince these ones not to jump ship by saying "everyone else us just as bad', they might vote for him again.
Again. This is what Putin has done for 20 years.
Essentially Putin says... Yes, I am corrupt. But everyone else is too and therefore if you had to pick, you are wise to just stick with me for my strength, stability and preventing wokeness with my partner the Russian Orthodox Church.
They say that you cant fix stupid. But the red hats make it a piece of cake to identify
It’s fair to think Donald Trump is stupid and corrupt even. But to act like your side is so innocent and are model citizens is incredibly naive.
The Biden WH has been completely scandal free, as was the Obama White House.
Whereas the Reagan, Bush2 and Trump administrations were among the most corrupt and indicted and prosecuted of all time. Just endless scandal.
There is no comparison: Republican administrations are far, far, far more corrupt and ethically challenged than Dem admins. No one can doubt this seriously. Rs just have to sigh and say 'yeah our guys are crooks but they're OUR crooks so I'm fine with it. They're just getting a little taste, you know.'
No coincidence that she picked Walz. He let the cities burn while she got the people out of jail responsible for it. Imagine what they would let America turn into.
Not her pick.
He was chosen by the same people who pushed Biden out and picked Kamala
