'Game is not over': Ex-GOP strategist reveals Trump's 'serious electoral vulnerabilities'
Former Republican National Committee staffer Tim Miller had a blunt warning message for former President Donald Trump and his associates on MSNBC Friday, following the wrap-up of their presidential convention: you're acting like you've already won, but you haven't.
In fact, he added, they're so convinced they're going to win that they're airing out dirty laundry and unpopular policy positions that could squander any momentum they have.
"The game is not over, and on the complacency, they are just exuding it all over the place," said anchor Chris Hayes. "Hey, let's put Marjorie Taylor Greene, the one who went to an actual Nazi conference. They'll have to do that. Let's have a guy who slapped his wife on tape introduce Donald Trump. Slapped his wife on tape! You can go watch it. She slapped him first, I will note the full context here. But I particularly don't think that is very masculine or cool or admirable, or the kind of person I would put in a convention. That's just me."

The bottom line, he added, is, "those are people who are just a little high on their own supply."
"Yes," agreed Miller. "There is a difference between confidence and overconfidence. I think they showed, in this convention, overconfidence. It is true, and the people you just named, and the J.D. Vance pick, who brings nothing electorally, and add some serious electoral vulnerabilities, particularly in women's issues, his comments about abortion and women that have been abused having to stay in marriages. You saw it in the Tucker Carlson, also there last night after his insane period of conspiracies he has been pushing. These guys are full of vulnerabilities. And it was on display."
"And I think that if you — for my other colleagues that were there, if you talk to the delegates, everyone there feel like this thing is done already," he added. "And that is crazy. And overconfidence leads to complacency, and I think that they are a lot of potential vulnerabilities that are not yet exposed. There are three and a half months left."
