Subject: Re: Trump: Forget POWs, They Deserve It
I think that framing is strategically poor. I hope the Democrats don't adopt it. I think it's critical that Trump be defeated in the election, even though I think that's the less likely outcome - so the Harris campaign has to really up their closing arguments.

Besides yourself, I'd bet that only die hard MAGAs would disagree that because Trump would be unfit to babysit their child, he is ipso facto unfit to lead the country.

Ultimately, a babysitter's job is to always put the child's interests above their own. Just like the president's job is to always put the country's interests above their own. Trump would do neither. But I think Liz was mainly talking about decency and character, and Trump lacks both.

Finally, JFK and Clinton could compartmentalize, keeping their moral failings (romantic dalliances) from affecting their day jobs, whether that be babysitter or president. Trump has no such ability. There's only one compartment in Trump's mind and it's the one fully occupied by his narcissism.
