I am telling you that you should pay more attention to stores about what Trump (and Giuliani and Pence and others) have actually been doing, and less attention to political journalists bloviating about how the narrative will help and hurt Trump and Biden. When I refer to the substance, I'm talking about the former, as opposed to horserace journalism. Not sure why it's so tough for you to see that.

For purposes of this back and forth, assume that I assume they are doing the worst of what they are accused of doing. This leaves us where? To have a conversation about how bad that is? No. That’s absurdly boring. It leads us to a conversation about what happens in response to what they’ve done.
But here’s the curious thing. We don’t know what Trump did or didn’t do. You are assuming facts based on articles. The whistleblower hasn’t spoken yet, nor has the transcript been released.
One could say, and I’d be hard pressed to refute this, that you are crafting an imaginary horse race and I am handicapping it. This would be mental masturbation without even an intellectual “finish.”
