8. pathetic attempt in this report to boost Trump
Sat Oct 12, 2024, 10:19 AM

...everyone needs to remember that the VP isn't just gallivanting around the country. She's a sitting VP with more responsibilities than campaigning.

That said, it can't be discounted how influential and impressive it's been watching the VP perform any of her myriad duties, like the hurricane relief efforts she was bolstering the past weeks with her presence and encouragement in the states affected, broadcasted around the country in repeating reports.

Besides, these rallies attract a mere fractio9n of the views that social media and tv appearances generate. This isn't the 50's where retail politics was novel and more influential than media. This is still a media campaign, and nothing is going to attract more voters than what's on the tube or people's phones.

Trump is racking up fart reports and attacks on people living in America. And, after all, it was the VP herself who suggested folks watch these lurid and shameful rallies of his where he talks about everyone but himself..
