​Donald Trump’s campaign insists that they’re pursuing multiple strategies against Kamala Harris, but the true picture that is emerging is that the Trump senior advisers’ grand plan, for now, is to pray that the former US president ​has a good night at the presidential debate next month.

​The game plan, in other words, has become one of hoping that Trump wins the debate so they can regain momentum – a stunning approach that shows the serious predicament for Trump and his campaign as he struggles to find ways to land effective attacks against the vice-president just months before the election.

​What has happened internally in the Trump campaign in recent weeks is the realization that nothing they do in the period up to the debate is likely to cut through in a significant way that blunts Harris’s gains that have her level in key swing state polls, according to people close to the matter.

​And because they don’t think the messaging will cut through, senior advisers are left hoping that Trump can energize voters with his performance on stage, the people said.

    Coincidentally, the least trainable dog I have ever met was an Italian greyhound like the one in your picture.

      I had an Italian greyhound who was by far the smartest dog I ever owned.

      And she was 100% untrainable. She was a genius, but she was also the most stubborn creature in the planet.

      She also loved to cuddle, but only if it was her demanding it of you. If you saw her coming to the couch to hop up fornsxritches and invited her up, she’d walk away because she was NOT going to obey.

      Well I mean, yeah. Look at that thing not a thought in it’s head. But I’ll bet it’s way nicer than the orange idiot.
