Stephen Collinson“Trump’s invective has been some of the most hardline political rhetoric in years, even by his own standards, and the next two months are likely to be brutal.”
“The question is whether this barrage of negative attacks is simply successful in stoking the existential rage that Trump is using to sway his supporters at the polls, or whether it will begin to erode Harris’ reputation in battleground states.”
Charlie Sykes“The history of American politics is, of course, full of negative, even vicious, attacks. But once again, it would be a mistake to view what is happening now as normal.”
“Consider this: The 1988 Bush campaign’s ‘Willy Horton’ ad was a source of controversy for years for its exploitation of racist imagery.”
“But this year, the Trump campaign has been waging a Willie Horton-style attack every day on television, on social media and through hundreds of thousands of direct mailings. And the media has basically just ignored it, because Trump is Trump.”
