One of the oddities is how many and how hard Never Trumpers have become woke like this. I check out a lot of their content and it’s definitely a theme. If I can see it coming. If Trump loses, the election commentariat is going to blame Trump's mistakes in the last week. You know who won't get credit they deserve? Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney, and tens of millions of women who will be responsible for defeating Trump.— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) November 4, 2024

We are building the biggest and broadest coalition in American Political History. This includes record-breaking numbers of Arab and Muslim Voters in Michigan who want PEACE.

We don’t really know anything about Trump’s policies, not really, because they change day to day. NEW: Trump today threatens *100%* tariffs on *all imports* from Mexico, America's largest trading partnerA 25% tariff alone (which Trump also threatened) would amount to $100B/yr, or $1 trillion tax/decadeRemarkable escalation day before electionhttps://t.co/eYvRiIzcfB— Jeff Stein (@JStein_WaPo) November 4, 2024
@Auriaprottu here’s another piece of evidence that Trump’s strategy isn’t to get to 270, but to win after that. 1853505775152595322 is not a valid tweet id
Text Guess we're never going to see that video Trump's team swore they were going to release proving they did not in fact assault a worker at Arlington National Cemetery. If only we had a functioning media in this country that could have hounded them to confirm its existence 🙃— scary lawyerguy (@scarylawyerguy) November 4, 2024
Holy shit. Did Junior all the drugs? https://t.co/uJkcr8Eh9b— Jo (@JoJoFromJerz) November 5, 2024 I hate to say, I've never seen him not be an asshole when he doesn't. At least there's some level of comedy when he's like this.
Given his dad wants to be a whale psychiatrist, it's hard to imagine how he could have turned out anything other than what he's like.

It was very generic. Did not speak directly to Mormons, but to faith in general. Will not move any voters.

What could she say directly to Mormons? She’s not a believer. It would probably sound presumptuous. Anyway, the fact that she responded and Trump did not might move a few fence sitters. Even if only 2%, that’s 8000 voters, which is close to the 2020 difference between Biden and Trump in Arizona.
Oh man more Atlas follies please know that it was 11% in 2020, a weeeee bit more than their crosstabs. Despite this warped sample, it only has Trump winning by 0.7. pic.twitter.com/uDEdgn47Wp— Aaron Astor (@AstorAaron) November 5, 2024
There are numerous Mormon-specific doctrines and even speech by its top leaders in fairly recent history she could have made token reference to, that would have made it somewhat personal. She could have spoken directly to Mormon women as well, who are getting fairly browbeat for asserting their importance and individuality. Mormons have a pretty distinct church-speak. Using any of the tried and true lines would at least resonate, instead of a boilerplate Christian message. @Sounders78 could have drunk-crafted a better response. If the hope is to move anyone who reads the deseret news (not very many persuadable readers there), this would not do it. Trump’s non-response won’t even register.
I think saying anything positive about immigration might help with Mormons, but hurt her just about everywhere else.
