POLITICO has this running thing where they tell you which candidate "won the day." For example, Kamala Harris won the day Friday with her star-studded rally at which people booed when the promised Beyoncé performance turned out to be a four-minute lecture about abortion. All Donald Trump did was a three-hour podcast with an audience of millions before traveling to Michigan for a rally there.
Harris also won the day Sunday by virtue of not holding a "racist carnival" at Madison Square Garden. POLITICO's Adam Wren believes Sunday could be remembered as the day Trump lost the election.
New from me: If Donald Trump loses on Nov. 5, the racist carnival he curated at Madison Square Garden could be remembered as the day that cost him this margin-of-error election.https://t.co/xxeNmgE6yV

What did Harris do Sunday to win the day? Host a tailgate in Wisconsin where no one showed up, even for free beer? Tim Walz streaming a game of sportsball on Twitch with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

As Kamala Harris visited a Puerto Rican restaurant in Pennsylvania, talking about her “Puerto Rican Opportunity Economy Task Force,” Trump was at Madison Square Garden, where Tony Hinchcliffe, the host of Kill Tony podcast, called the U.S. territory a “floating island of garbage.” It was a split screen the Harris campaign welcomed. Nearly half a million people of Puerto Rican descent live in battleground Pennsylvania, and lots more elsewhere were certainly absorbing the headlines.
And Harris won the day.
Harris won the day by visiting a Puerto Rican restaurant? While Donald Trump held a rally in front of 20,000 people, with another 20,000 watching from outside?
Liar

You are vile. “Racist carnival,” is how you describe patriotic Americans from all walks of life who want strong borders, safe cities, no wars, affordable food and medicine and rent, and a thriving, prosperous economy? Why do you have such disdain for your fellow Americans?

And what if he barely wins….did his racist carnival win it for him?

And if he wins, you can apologize to Harris for contributing to her loss with accusations that backfired.

Democrats are so desperate for any hope at this point that they're banking on something that will flip zero votes as changing the grim reality in front of them lmao

The facts are on our side. No Nazis here. No communists either - something the Democrat Party can't say.

It's not within the margin of error, and Politico manages to find new lows seemingly every day.

It is amazing to me how you have no problem defaming large swaths of American citizens just for attending a political rally all because you’re butt hurt that they don’t support your chosen candidate.

Except millions tuned in and know your post is just more hateful propaganda

A racist carnival featuring speeches by a black man, a Jew, and a Hindu Indian-American.
