‘Donald Trump is losing his marbles,’ former Congressman and Republican Adam Kinzinger said

Republicans are concerned that party leader Donald Trump is having a “public nervous breakdown” after he made a series of offensive outbursts about Vice President Kamala Harris as he slips behind her in the polls.

The former president has made a number of  insulting personal attacks against his Democratic rival since she moved to the top of the ticket. Last week, Trump questioned Harris’s racial identity  at the National Association of Black Journalists conference. Over the weekend, he accused Harris of having a “low IQ.”

New polls indicate Trump is slipping behind the vice president in the popular vote and races are tightening in battleground states.

“This is what you would call a public nervous breakdown,” Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist and former Trump state department appointee, told Politico.

    Headlines like this have existed for the entire time Trump has been in the political spotlight.

    Do not trust conservatives will see this and agree. Do not get complacent. Vote. Encourage friends and family to vote.

      At this point the people who are already Trump supporters will not be swayed. He was always nuts, he was always weird, he always spewed out nonsensical word-salad. The fight is for independents who are still on the fence, and everyone on both sides considers them gullible idiots, and campaign strategy will reflect that.

        Everyone correctly considers them gullible idiots when it comes to politics.

        All those people will have other areas of individual expertise as well.

        Also the supporters who aren’t diehards. Most races are won largely by just how motivated likely voters are to show up.

        Largely why Hillary lost.

      My concern with Harris running is all the positivity will get people complacent due to the polls.

      Polls don’t mean shit. Get out and vote. Tell everyone to go vote.

        The Republicans will cheat, swindle and intimidate to win this election. They will break every rule they can, and they don’t even need the popular vote in order to win. Trump might be shitting the bed but this is still far from over. The only way to keep him out of the white house is if people vote against him in vast enough numbers to counteract their cheating.
