Remember in 2016, how Republicans ran on "Hillary was ill" and the "health scare"?
In 2024, Donald Trump seems to be even more magnetic for crazy people. I'm sorry, but it needs to be said.
If you have perverse charisma and you are attracting the craziest people, the worst nutjobs, the racists, and violent mentally ill people with guns. Can we afford that?
Can our country afford the heightened security that we wouldn't need for Kamala Harris?
Can our country afford us apologizing to the rest of the world for what Trump's supporters are doing and saying?
Can our country afford some whack job running up and swiping the nuclear football? (Way more likely with the people Trump surrounds himself than with Harris)
Our country simply can't afford Trump's "crazy magnetism".
