To me, the GOP/conservative media/Trump had a very bad month.
Nothing major, but like 5 things that are small, but it almost feels like no one is really plugged in heavily to one source every night like the old days, and sometimes a bunch of small shit hits different groups and can make up a percent or two.
The Alabama SC ruling. They immediately saw how much trouble it was and did their best to run away from it, but it happened.
Tucker/Putin interview.
This didn’t play well. Just all of it. Putin mocking him during interview, mocking him after.
It only matters because disliking Ukraine War, being Putin fanboys, being Tucker fanboys are the largely the same group. Not all, but mostly the same group. Anything that splinters a group is a loss.
I thought they misplayed the SOTU big time and in 3 ways that night.
Setting the lowest of expectations of Biden. Dems used to do this with Trump. Make him out to be such a crazy man that if he stayed anywhere near the script, he seemed presidential. Biden not falling asleep and yelling a little bit became a win when you paint a guy as full on Weekend at Bernies. You couldn’t shoot up Bernie with some stimulant.
That Britt response was just beyond bad. Weeks of blaming each other, girl set up a gofundme, etc. Just a huge fail with everyone playing the blame game still weeks later.
Easily the worst though.
Trump being Trump and posting that truth social post wanting credit for the vaccine. It’s like he has no idea how large a percentage of his voters are still obsessed with nonsensical vaccine injury theories and other assorted nonsense.
Worst part is he quoted Biden, but his part of the statement on it was essentially saying he jammed it through regulations. There isn't really a way to spin that.
That’s the entire crux of the anti-vaxxer movement. That it should have went through trials. He says he got though in 9 months what Biden would have taken 12 years to get through. That means it would be 8 years away now.
In other words, Biden would have been more cautious and he fast tracked it. He doesn’t grasp his loons have been arguing about this for years now, obsessed, and always placed blame on Biden. He’s announcing he wants credit for rushing it.
Horrible mistake. This is the one I’ve heard multiple Trump people bitch about the last week. Particularly dangerous when you have a true blue vaccine nutter in RFK running. He’s the OG anti-vaxxer, so if you really believe random quacks and all that antivax nonsense and it’s truly your cause, you now really only have one choice.
If you believe Trump, he should be target 1 of your ire. He rushed it. Biden wouldn’t have according to him. And RFK would have never considered it. He still arguing thimerosal and autism like it’s 2002.
Alex Jones lost his mind at Trump, but more importantly, I saw real people lose their shit. They aren’t going to become Biden voters, but a few might go RFK.
He basically said the J in Donald J Trump is for jab. That isn’t going away.
Nothing horrific as a bunch of minor issues, but these states get decided by a few thousand votes and there is a 3rd party running. Now add in Shapiro going after SS.
Everything was trending his way until the last month. I still think he wins, but the GOP isn’t playing well atm and the Dems have over-performed every poll considerably since the Roe decision. Across the map everywhere including red states.
I’d just be on message of inflation all day long, but they have a lot of erratic individuals with a national platform. They had a bad month and made some true unforced errors.
