INSIDE TRUMPWORLDS ANTI-KAMALA HARRIS ATTACK PLANDonald Trump didnt expect Joe Biden to pick Kamala Harris as his running mate. He thought Biden would choose Karen Bass, a Republican briefed on Trumps thinking said. Trumps view, according to sources close to the White House, was that Biden would prefer a candidate with Basss low national profile and one who wouldnt outshine him. Trump was also hopeful that Bass, a California congresswoman, would join the ticket given her record of making positive comments about the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Trump thought Bass would help him with the Cubans in Florida, the source said.
Trump advisers are split over Bidens decision to nominate Harris, the first Black and South Asian woman on a major party ticket. Some see the California senator as a Barack Obamalevel star and skilled debater who will appeal to a changing America. The demographics favor the Democrats. Trump still thinks this is Ronald Reagans America, and its not, said the Republican source. The other problem is the campaign risks a backlash in the #MeToo age if they attack her too personally.
Other Trumpworld insiders are thrilled at the opportunity to define Harris as a radical leftist, a portrayal echoed Tuesday night on Fox News. Shes going to help with the base, and thats where it ends, a Trump adviser predicted. Shell scare the shit out of suburban women. How great is this? Trump has taken to stoking fears that a Biden victory will fuel unrest in Democrat-run cities, a barely disguised racist appeal that he picked up again on Wednesday morning following the Harris announcement. The suburban housewife will be voting for me, he tweeted. The adviser added that Biden would soon regret choosing a high-wattage running mate. This is not Mike Pence to Donald Trump or Joe Biden to Obama. Kamala is going to be the candidate. Shell be constantly overshadowing him. In three to four weeks, Biden is going to realize he made a dumb move.
At his press briefing on Tuesday, Trump called Harris nasty, a preview of the misogynist playbook hes likely to follow in the months ahead. According to sources who have spoken with Trump, his view of the race is increasingly optimistic. Sources said hes been pleased so far with new campaign manager Bill Stepien and senior strategist Jason Miller, and sees the numbers in swing states improving. Trump thinks the polls are tightening, a Republican close to the campaign told me.

(31,987 posts)is this obsession with suburban women all of a sudden? Its stupid and sickening. Does he believe that all women living in suburban areas are living in fear and cowering over the idea of big dangerous black men wandering through their neighborhoods? Who makes this shit up?

Trump thinks American still looks like The Wonder Years, he is showing how out of touch he is.

(33,643 posts)I seriously doubt he's going to be fretting over a 'mistake' like picking a VP candidate who 'outshines' him.
In fact, I think he consciously picked someone who WOULD 'shine'.

(16,784 posts)Trump is scared shitless. He sees his base dwindling to nothing but angry white men and some women who are more than willing to drink the Kool Aid he is giving them.
Poor Laura Trump will have few women for Trump to appeal to.

(35,437 posts)Maybe in the 1950s, but it takes two incomes to pay a mortgage and raise kids in the suburbs. How many suburban couples do you know can survive on one salary?
The fact that he thinks that suburban women are housewives is telling.

(61,694 posts)Pakistan, and China. They are tech people, doctors, professors, etc. They buy big homes in the suburbs. If they weren't born here, many have been naturalized, and I'm sure they'd like to imagine their US-born children occupying the White House in 35 years.
Trump won't know what hit him.
