The Trump rally in Michigan tonight (to which he arrived three hours late) conjures up the atmosphere of a Vincent Price movie. Seriously. The GOP nominee takes stage to the notes of The Undertaker’s Theme. And not for the first time. Yes, I know it’s a few days before Halloween but is macabre death the vibe you want to conjure, in what we are now assured is a “vibes” election and we’re down to the evening of the 10th day before Election Day?

Kamala Harris, on the other hand, is running a frenetic energy rock concert down in Houston, Texas, to a packed venue of over 20,000 people. As reported here earlier today, over one million people attempted to get tickets and this is happening in a solidly red state, ladies and gentlemen. Not a blue, not even a purple state, this is happening deep in the heart of a ruby red, stoplight shade of a state, Texas. If you’re an English teacher looking to assign your kids a compare and contrast essay, you will find no better material than this.

Do you love the Porta Potties in the background there? Doesn’t that totally lend a comedic level to this Phantom Of The Rue Morgue entrance that the begirdled, bediapered, hair-plugged, candidate makes — dragging his right leg in his shoe lifts? And no I don’t know why it’s so dark. Maybe the lighting guys decided it was time to leave, too. Or maybe he didn’t pay them. Or both. Now take a look at what Kamala Harris is doing.

You see what I mean about compare and contrast? Yes, class, were are told that these are the same thing. We are told that these are both political rallies and both these individuals are viable candidates for the next president of the United States.

Now we’re going back to see what’s happening at the funeral. And stop screaming, “NOOO, URSULA…WE WANNA STAY AND WATCH BEYONCE AND KAMALA….WAHHHHH!!!” it’s distracting. Go get a tranquilizer or pour a stiff drink, we’re going to do this.

Be glad you are not Irony. You and I, dirty animals that we are, can only be killed once in these mortal, carbon-based bodies that we inhabit. Irony, on the other hand, poor dear girl, has died a thousand deaths at the hands of Trump and his cohorts. And Satire, Parody and Farce tried valiantly to hang in there but they’ve been repeatedly slain as well. This next one is killer.

It’s evident that the sound people are as challenged as the lighting people. And again, you see Trump doing the same old material over and over. Tonight the name is changed. Last week “fat slob” meant Joe Biden, then yesterday it was somebody called Jimmeeee, and tonight it’s Harry. Could he mean Harry Reid, or he’s just pulling a name out of a hat?

And do bear in mind here that Trump’s *campaign* has been the longest running of any in history. He officially announced his campaign over two years ago. The Harris/Walz campaign, on the other hand, is a few months old, only. It is a campaign which started out awkwardly bootstrapped to a Biden reelection effort that had barely launched. Yet despite what might have been crippling circumstances to another ticket in another age and time, Harris/Walz has not shown a whit of complacency, nor have they missed a beat, since being handed the reins.

And, moreover, they have not made any errors, while Trump/Vance self immolates on a regular and predictable basis. Harris/Walz has done the political equivalent of drawing to an inside straight. It is remarkable.

Again, and always, you will hear me say that I do not know how these two candidates are allegedly neck and neck. Not on the numbers we see turning out to hear them speak. Not on the quality of the speeches they themselves give. Harris is packing houses to rock concert levels, whether she’s got rock stars there or not, while Trump has high school assembly level crowds. And while Harris is giving substantive speeches on policy, Trump is doing his dead, Catskills comic act.

Trump knows he’s dead. He’s just going through the motions and praying for a miracle. I think he plays The Undertaker’s Theme to small, dead crowds because that’s how he feels.

  2. The malodorous mango is rapidly turning into a cardava, stamped with a dual ‘best-before-date’ and a ‘use-by-date’! Spectacular face plant just around the corner!

      • Even before he got brain cancer iconic conservative WaPol columnist and pundit Bob Novack looked so much like a dead man walking he was referred to as a triumph of the embalmer’s art. Trump? He looks more like a embalmer’s failed effort to make “dad” look presentable in his coffin.

  3. Is it November 6th yet and we’re celebrating the Harris/Walz win, because I’m so damn sick of this moronic, disgusting, rude, crude and ignorant Trump! :/ Vote Blue!!! 🙂

    • Don’t forget dude, there will be the days/weeks after the election that I am sure will be just chock-full of asinine attempts at declaring election fraud (if the mango moron loses that is), court cases, and I’m sure the corrupt cons on the s.c. will not wish to miss putting their 1/2 a worthless penny in. We might be celebrating, G_d knows we need it, but nothing is certain until that oath of office is taken. I sometimes wonder if even THEN things will be settled. We’re dealing with some mighty stupid people….

      I’m pretty much holding my excitement until January…what, 21st? That is if V.P. Harris doesn’t have this election stolen out from under her: that is a distinct possibility you know.

  4. The dude who called the delay a “hiccup” was funny to watch. A few minutes of hiccups is annoying. Thirty minutes of them flat-out sucks. Three fooking hours? And laughing it off as a hiccup? I want some of whatever drugs THAT asshat is on!
