Worth remembering that Trump tried to overturn the ACA without a replacement, which could have brought back lifetime caps and revoked coverage for pre-existing conditions. In other words, if he'd had his way, many more Americans could have gone bankrupt and died.

The normal reaction to this is to quickly move to the other side of the street, but not in a way that attracts the guy’s attention.

A reminder that if Trump wins & purges the civil service to replace it with loyalists as planned, all sorts of govt data will become totally untrustworthy. The House GOP is already trying to rig the census to screw Democrats in redistricting after Trump's first-term attempt failed

Communications tip: don't say "Project 2025" say "Trump's Project 2025." He's trying to run away from it, tie it to his neck like an anchor by making the words "Project 2025" naturally follow the word "Trump" in people's heads.

Among these, I always get stuck on the Senate filibuster. It did not exist in any form while the Framers were alive. The current form, in which a Senator can stop a bill permanently without doing anything, did not exist until the 1970s. But it's treated as sacrosanct.

I'd also have surrogates talk up how "just because Biden is old doesn't mean he's not capable or doesn't still have things to contribute to society". Look at how much older folks vote. They'd love that message.

"Trump's base is more tenacious, they won't listen to the media", true, I'm not after them. Centrists or low motivated voters

I do not care who the Democratic nominee is or will be.

Donald Trump tried to steal the 2020 election and orchestrated a violent coup.

He is running for president, first and foremost, so that he can pardon himself for his many crimes.
