Because that narrative appeals only to his base. The base of both parties don't elect presidents, independents do. While his base is obsessed with "the steal" independents will only see Jan.6th. Same with the stole valor narrative. Tampon Tim narrative. Harris is a communist narrative Independents see these narratives as childish and grasping at straws. Trump is now the old out of touch candidate with independents. If he can't find a narrative that appeals to them. It's over for Trump. Independents see Biden dropping out of the race as the Democrats recognizing their belief that he was too old and fixing that problem. This scored huge points for the democrats with independents.

Bonefish, Why do you think that? If Trump sticks to the issues, he wins. If Trump continues to indulge in lies and conspiracy theories, he loses. It's not hard to understand unless you are part of the Q ... Tenchusatsu

Nolte: 55% of Likely Voters Say Tim Walz Stolen Valor Accusations Are Serious A Rasmussen Reports survey shows that 55 percent of likely voters believe the credible stolen valor accusations against Tim Walz are serious. Only 48 percent disagree. Walz, the current Democrat governor of Minnesota and vice-presidential nominee, has been credibly accused of stolen valor, which is the act of puffing yourself up in an undeserved way when it comes to serving your country, especially during war. While no one questions that Walz served 24 years in the Minnesota National Guard, he has never served in a combat zone. Nevertheless, he has said he carried weapons of war “in war.” This is not true. This is a lie. This is stolen valor. He has also accepted praise without correcting the speaker from those claiming he is a combat veteran. He is not a combat veteran. In fact, when Walz knew his unit was going to be called to serve in Iraq in 2005, Walz suddenly retired before his enlistment contract was up rather than lead his unit into an actual war zone. What’s more, Walz has been running around for two decades claiming he retired as a Command Sergeant Major. The truth is that this promotion was revoked because he abruptly retired before his contract was up and did not finish the Sergeant Majors Academy. Therefore, Tim Walz retired as a Master Sergeant. A majority of 55 percent of black voters said the allegations are serious, as did 67 percent of Hispanic voters. When Rasmussen asked these 1,158 likely U.S. voters if these credible stolen valor accusations against Walz “make you more likely to vote for Harris or less likely to vote for Harris,” 34 percent said less likely, 16 percent said more likely(!?), and 45 percent said it will make no difference. When asked if it would “be better for Kamala Harris to stick with Tim Walz as her vice-presidential running mate, or to choose someone else as her running mate,” 50 percent said “it would be better to stick with him,” while 29 percent said “it would be better to choose someone else.” With the corporate media running cover for Walz, even as they denigrate Republican vice-presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance’s actual service in Iraq as a U.S. Marine, it is difficult to see Harris dumping him. My guess, and this is just a guess, is that if Republicans intend to make hay out of this — and there is hay to be made — it will be after this week when Walz is safely and officially installed as the Democrat vice-presidential nominee.
