Trump on Kamala Harris: "SHE'LL SCARE THE S--T OUT OF SUBURBAN WOMEN"

INSIDE TRUMPWORLD’S ANTI-KAMALA HARRIS ATTACK PLAN

Donald Trump didn’t expect Joe Biden to pick Kamala Harris as his running mate. “He thought Biden would choose Karen Bass,” a Republican briefed on Trump’s thinking said. Trump’s view, according to sources close to the White House, was that Biden would prefer a candidate with Bass’s low national profile and one who wouldn’t 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 Biden’s decision to nominate Harris, the first Black and South Asian woman on a major party ticket. Some see the California senator as a Barack Obama–level star and skilled debater who will appeal to a changing America. “The demographics favor the Democrats. Trump still thinks this is Ronald Reagan’s America, and it’s 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. “She’s going to help with the base, and that’s where it ends,” a Trump adviser predicted. “She’ll 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. She’ll 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 he’s 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 he’s 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.

is this obsession with “suburban women” all of a sudden? It’s 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?

by calling them racists and defining them through their husband's. There are not many "Housewives" left and the ones that are probably still despise the term.

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

I know I'm stating the obvious, but ... he KNOWS he needs suburban women to vote for him, so he's trying to make it so by saying 'that's what's gonna happen'.

For generations, middle class white women between 30-50 have been a heavy republican voting block, but they're absolutely abandoning the party under Trump.

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'.

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.

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.

This has always been a proudly multi-cultural neighborhood in very diverse county and have never felt the need for a gun. WTF is he babbling about? I never voted for him, he's the grossest nastiest man ever. Who are these ninny housewives he speaks of? I don't know any.

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.

We’re not lying fucking pukes. Someone could quote what it says to a magat, the magat might actually read the article and then come back and say “Those aren’t Trump’s words”. “You Democrats lie and can’t be trusted. Think about it.”
