You'd hope so, but when it's not Trump himself saying that poo poo it just seems to bounce right off. If anyone actually presses him about it he can just say "I haven't heard those comments, no idea what you're talking about" and there's no follow up or push back.

You're right, though it's comical that all that's needed to counterpunch is donnie shooting* three-pointers** in puerto rico***

* seriously, jump shots
** of paper towels into a crowd
*** after the hurricane

It's very, very difficult to botch the end of a campaign like Donnie is doing. Still might not end up mattering, but I'd really, really rather have the not-loving-up campaign versus the campaign getting the "hmm is your guy a fascist?" question and pumping out poo poo like this that moves zero votes:

Nope. Planned. From two weeks ago:

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-violent-rhetoric-immigrant-dictator-police-election-2024-1235131086/

quote:

And as he makes his closing argument, Trump is planning to amp up his violent, fascist rhetoric all the way to Election Day.

In recent conversations with close allies, the former and perhaps future president has stressed that he can’t — as some advisers apparently would like him to — play it safe in these final weeks of campaigning, two people familiar with the matter tell Rolling Stone. “That’s how you lose,” Trump told one small huddle of these allies, one of the sources relays, as he emphasized that, especially on immigration, he needs to slam his foot on the gas.

This belief helps explain Trump’s recent diatribes, which have included talking about dictatorship, repeatedly lying about and demonizing migrants, and encouraging police to be extra violent in ways that resemble The Purge, the popular dystopian-horror movie franchise.

The other source adds that the ex-president has said lately that he pays close attention to which lines his rally audiences eat up the most and cheer the loudest at — and that Trump specifically noted how his rally attendees applauded and whooped when he reiterated his much-maligned pledge to “be a dictator for one day.”

My vibes-based take is that Donnie's campaign strategy against Biden was basebasebasebase because that's all he needed and all the cheddarbrain could process. In comes Kamala and she successfully fights the economic stuff to a draw, while trying to pull Republicans. Donnie's brain decides basebasebasebase is the only way to keep the fondue warm and the old poo poo ain't working. In comes new poo poo - even MORE racism, even MORE anti-trans stuff, even MORE insults because well, that's what the crowd reacts to!

Especially notable is that lately, people will ask him about economic poo poo, then he'll say "well you know I think immigration is even more important and [racist poo poo]". It's all he's got left - basebasebasebase.

They will rapidly forget and pull that "that was then and this is now" routine like JD, but until then, the normies don't want this as their own closing message in their own races!

wapo posted:

Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a Republican congresswoman from Florida, denounced comments from a speaker at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally that denigrated the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.

The lawmaker, who was partially raised in Puerto Rico, said she was “disgusted” by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s “racist” statements that the territory is a “floating island of garbage.”

“This rhetoric does not reflect GOP values,” Salazar wrote on social media. Trump and other Republicans are courting voters from Puerto Rico, including in the pivotal battleground state of Pennsylvania.

How the gently caress does an official campaign rally for the GOP presidential candidate, a week before the election, not represent the values of the GOP? That's literally as official and as representative as you can possibly get.
