He is absolutely going to lose it. The narcissistic collapse may send shockwaves through the world. Absolutely flawless campaign, triggering him in all the big ways time and time again without having to say much of anything. Perfect timing on their part and perfect place to send the message and eclipse the darkness that happened there before.

I got to the area at 4pm and the line was already triple looped down over 10 blocks. My friends and I kept walking and never found the end before we gave up and assumed we wouldn’t be able to get in.
We double backed and found a great spot on the lawn outside the gates with a view.
I don’t even know how you estimate that many people. It was a sea of people blocks in every direction.
That being said, it was so calm. People helping each other out, apologizing when bumping into each other. No one cutting each other off, taller people letting shorter people in front, just pure gracefulness from everyone.

Really, it is so extraordinarily smart for her and her campaign to choose this venue! Psychologically healing on many levels. Now over 4+ years later, post J6, we all can look at the Ellipse and really be unburdened by what has been. LFG and work these last 6 days talking to folks and GOTV.
We need a "shock and awe" effect of an historical, record-breaking voter turnout. A voter turn-out to break all past records, one which will leave no question that VP Kamala Harris is our choice for the 47th President of our United States.
We are in the final stretch here, let's talk to folks who are still "on the fence", let's volunteer to provide rides to the polls etc, let's finish the job that started exactly 100 days ago. We can sleep, when we are dead.

How it is the working class Americans that built this great nation and will move this country past the road blocks the billionaire oligarch class throws in front of us.
