If anything I think Team Trump never thought they wouldn’t go to convention and instead just instantly anoint Harris. They weren’t “had.” If anything the reverse is true - Team Trump took all their options off the table by saying for months Biden was not going to run.
Biden stayed in long enough to where the only option was Harris.
The only people that have been had are any voters that think this low life (and she is) is qualified to be president. As they watch the media scrub her pre 2023 life from the record. Including that she never represented the Black community - that’s the point of the attack line. It’s the same dam thing Dems do with Tim Scott or Clarence Thomas. You know they don’t really count as “Black” but Harris does? Ok then.
Now that they know it’s her - they couldn’t prepare for 15 candidates - the campaign will settle into 2 clear choices.
A left wing moron that’s been - in a position - for the last 4 years for a government clearly not run by the people you vote for.
And Trump. The guy they tried to kill bc he’s a threat to the system that shut down the planet for almost 2 years.
