It's August, and I was hoping for a less intense political month, but that's not going to happen. On Saturday, Donald Trump held a rally in Georgia, where he scorched the state's popular Republican governor, Brian Kemp, who has a 60 percent approval rating.

Mr. Trump did that because he believes Kemp did not confront election "corruption" in 2020.  Joe Biden won Georgia by a minuscule margin, and Trump says the result was "rigged."

But the Republicans need Georgia this year, and Governor Kemp is the most powerful man in the state.  Doesn't seem to me that marginalizing him is good strategy.

With powerful media and financial forces ferociously backing Kamala Harris, the November vote looks to be close.  Donald Trump should be courting all potential allies even if he doesn't like them.  Based on policy, Trump should win.  But should is a meaningless word.  Mistakes always derail should.

Kamala Harris will do what she is told to do by experienced campaigners who are running her show.

Nobody tells Trump what to do.

Mistakes will hurt him.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.
