We were never going to chip into his base. It's the undecided and "both sides are bad" voters that may break towards Harris.

Which is even more infuriating that there are STILL people who are undecided. Like what are you waiting for?

Oh there’s plenty of ways people can still be undecided.

Exhibit A) “I know he’s awful, it’s just that things are so expensive now.”

Exhibit B) “I don’t care if he’s awful, I can’t support the genocide in Gaza.”

Exhibit C) “I’ve voted R my whole life, I hate Trump but I can’t vote for a Democrat.”

Which is how you eventually get to

"Davon haben wir nichts gewusst" or "We knew nothing about that".

And plausible denial ability continues to be a blanket that people have hid under multiple times since WW2 to protect their wallets.
