Harris and Walz have fallen into Trump's media trap.
While they are on the trail, their comments about Trump make the daily media highlight reels, at the expense of policy discussions.
Harris has also fallen back to failed identity politics to compartmentalize outreach among different demographic groups.
Harris' rising economic tide will not lift all boats, it will only lift those boats that Government allows to float.
The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 is off the front pages and the news leads.
Harris and Walz are now on defense as the Dems' sugar high is starting to fade, and Harris is shackled to Biden's unpopular policies.
It's easy for Kamala and Tim to loose message discipline and fall into the lazy habit of making every discussion about Trump because Kamala has no specifics to offer the voters.
Americans want different than Biden. The more Kamala's campaign retreats under the shadows of Biden and Trump, it will be more difficult for her message - if she has one - to be seen and and to be heard.
Trump has 47% of the popular vote locked in, because at least that percentage of Americans have been left out, left behind, and alienated by 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden.
For a rising tide to lift all boats, they need to be free to rise with the tide, and to not be anchored to the bottom by the short chains and the heavy ballast of Government.
