“So, a second (supposedly — my guess is there have been a lot more that never got quite so far and/or never got publicly divulged) assassination attempt on disgraced former president Donald Trump. And a second decision on the part of Republicans — excepting, briefly, Trump himself the first time — to lean into the ‘this is all the Democrats’ fault’ curve direction in search of sympathy, rather than counter-leaning toward the middle of the ‘civility’ / ‘can’t we all get along’ road and letting the sympathy generate itself. … it’s a bad idea. It’s inherently unstable, more likely to result in a crash, and extremely unlikely to generate the desired for sympathy from voters (quantified by gaining on Harris in the polls). Cold comfort as it may be, there’s another motorcycle metaphor — or at least maxim — applicable to this situation: ‘Ride your own ride.'” (09/16/24)
