Chuck Todd actually said something profound about trump [View all]

Well it wasn't his original idea- He said that someone in trump's circle told him this.

One reason trump has not been able to launch an effective attack against VP Harris is that he really wanted to " avenge" his 2020 loss against Biden. He really wanted to beat Biden to say that " See, 2020 was an aberration". That has been taken away from him and he has not been able to get over that.

Of course, I don't think that is the only reason, but it does make sense. He has spent the last 4 years planning to beat Joe Biden. Not just to say he beat him, but to say I am better than him. I was better than him in 2020 and it was taken from me.
He's not able to pivot to VP Harris because he's still mad that he won't get his " revenge" against President Biden.
