Analyst reveals 'final and most effective critique' against Trump

Vice President Kamala Harris has found her closing message in the last few weeks of the campaign, former conservative turned anti-GOP columnist Jennifer Rubin wrote for The Washington Post — and it is the "final and most effective critique" of former President Donald Trump.

Specifically, she is highlighting how Trump, and indeed his whole campaign, appears to be falling apart at the seams.

"She put it this way in an interview with Roland Martin: 'His staff won’t let him do a ‘60 Minutes’ interview. ... Everyone has done it except Donald Trump. He will not debate me again. I put out my medical records. He won’t put out his medical records. And you have to ask: Why is his staff doing that? And it may be because they think he’s just not ready — and unfit and unstable and should not have that level of transparency for the American people.'"

Then, Rubin noted, "She hit the same notes in a series of battleground rallies describing Trump as 'unstable and unhinged.' And at her rally in Erie, Pa., on Monday, she even played clips of Trump labeling his political opponents as 'the enemies from within ... those people are more dangerous than Russia and China.'"

All of this comes at a moment when Trump has withdrawn from public appearances all over the place, even pulling out of an NRA event to hold a summit with Latino voters in Florida — a state where he has never been expected to be in trouble. It also comes as the press was flabbergasted by Trump's town hall that ended with him swaying to the music for 30 minutes onstage — which rekindled speculation about his cognitive state.

"Unsurprisingly, as the prospect of losing looms larger and the potential for resuming his criminal trial increases, Trump hides from the scrutiny of an electorate that would be repulsed by his message and by objective examination of his emotional and physical health," wrote Rubin. "Only within the cocoon of his faithful MAGA supporters does his message attract rather than repel."

And that's what Harris is seizing on to try to draw the largest contrast she possibly can in the final stretch, Rubin concluded.

"No wonder the vivacious, trim and energetic vice president released her health records and has taken to playing clips of her diminished opponent," Rubin wrote. "She is running against the oldest man ever to be nominated by a major party for the presidency, someone who is keeping secrets about his health and degenerating before our eyes."
