Donald, DNC and the Debate | The Schmidt Storm

for President of the United States. Now, ethics are something that's really important during the Lincoln Project, not as it exists today, but the Lincoln Project of twenty twenty, the Lincoln Project that existed that President Biden saw. He called me after the election in twenty twenty and thanked me. He said, if not for the Lincoln Project, he wouldn't have won. And I think he's right, because that organization did three point two billion dollars of advertising impact off

of almost one hundred million dollars spent today. That group is a fraud. It's a grift. Three cents out of every dollar donated goes to political spending. Total scam. The truth is eighty cents is the magic number in a political campaign. Eighty cents of every dollar should go to voter contact. That's what the Lincoln Project in twenty twenty did. Doesn't do it anymore, and that's not because of anything else other than the lack of character of the people

running it today. Talking to you, Rick Wilson, supergrifter. Here's a guy who had a fake movie that he raised money for for years, saying, donate to me, I'll make an anti Trump movie. I asked him about it all the time. Where's the movie, right, where's the movie? You took the money you have to make the movie. So there's not for any movie. It's all a scam. And that cynicism, the product of all of this bullshit, helps exactly one person, and that guy's name is Donald Trump.

So this is a big issue, and that's a great question. The question is this Democratic Convention was incredible. How can Kamala Harris keep the momentum going? So let's talk about political physics. I'm going to show you something on the screen. This arc is called a parabola, and this specific parabla is the historic launch of Alan Shepherd's spacebook. He was shot up into the air, he hit zero gravity for a moment and then started to come back down. Kamala

Harris is on a similar racket ship. She's got straight up, she's in that zero gravity phase. She'll go a bit higher, and then the political physics of all of this, she'll start to come back down. The race will tighten. All of the gains during this historic convention week will be cut in half within a week after Labor Day. And then structurally this will be a three point race all the way to the end. This will be a close election. Every vote counts. Some poles will have the Vice president

six points, seven points, eight points ahead. That is all a function of the momentum, the enthusiasm, the sudden excellence of the execution. After being surrounded by Trump and being defeated by him, which Biden most certainly was, all of this unleashed enthusiasm will fall back to earth a bit and then the fight is on. That fight takes place on the line of scrimmage. It is a scratching, flay knuckle brawl all the way to the end. For sure,

she will not win by seven points. The last presidential elections in this country have been settled across a few dates and tens of thousands of votes. I pray for a landslide. That that's not what's at hand, not this election, not this moment in time. The question is, with all of the attention on Kamala Harris, what will Donald Trump do?

This is the most important question that I could conceivably get, because it goes to the heart of the strategy necessary to defeat Trump and take back America from Maga forever. Here's the deal. Whoever this election is about, is the candidate who will lose. The election had been about President Biden and he was losing. Since Kamala Harris has been the candidate, the election again is about Trump, and he's losing. What happened at the convention was one of the great

switcheroos of all time. Suddenly the race went from being about the eighty one year old, enfeebled declining president and a referendum on that, to it being a referendum about the insanity of Donald Trump in an instant out of this convention, the race is now fully about Trump, and

whomever the race is about will lose. That's why that matters so very much, and that's why this week was such a profound political success, and in my view, the greatest political convention of the electronic age of the modern era, which goes back at least to nineteen fifty two. It was an extraordinary successful event. The question is what would I advise Kamala Harris to dude to avoid of Biden's

style catastrophe, And the answer is simple. There will be no Bien style catastrophe because Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, fifty nine years of age, is at her keek and she is on her a game. What I wish she would say is look at Donald Trump, rode back to head, deliver the Kamala laugh, and ask the question on behalf of many tens of millions of America's people, what the hell is wrong with you? To Trump? That's what she should say, she says, start out to debate,

look at him and say what wrong with you? Donald? Why are you so angry? So just honest, and so completely crazy? It would be classic. Remember, debates are performative moments, and one of the great lines any debate was this line from Lloyd Benson to Dan Quayle.
