Donald Trump is having the worst week

In a week that delivered an absolute avalanche of feel-good stories about likely Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, one man has been shoved completely to the sidelines. Donald Trump is afraid to debate her. He’s unable to find a way into the news cycle. And a VP selection made just 11 days ago is making Sarah Palin seem like a brilliant choice. 

Trump’s campaign is anxiously playing defense. Trump’s nickname for Harris only makes her seem better. Republican leaders are telling party members to see if they can find any line of attack that isn’t purely racism and sexism—while Trump’s spokesperson is suggesting that racism may be all they have. 

And Trump is demonstrating the last sign of total political desperation for any Republican: He’s citing Rasmussen polls.

Huh. So this is what a good week looks like.
