Why would they stop? That's been the most effective attack they've had in a long time! Especially because it's true, and I think the Republicans know it on some level.

They were up in the polls and now they are dead tied. Was stopping weird the only thing to do that? No probably not but their swing to the opposite of just trying to convince people they are themselves Republicans doesn't seem to be working effectively.

Except at losing

And have they checked Twitter? None of the republicans are buying their “well shucks y’all, we’re folksy conservatives too!” garbage.

There's like 10 guys in the country who want to vote Republican but dislike Trump enough not to vote for him. These are the 10 guys the final months of the election are spent trying to win.

Every other Republican wants the name brand uncut trump power. Why go for Kamala when you can just have trump.

Of course Kamala could still and could have spent her time trying to convince those left of her to vote by highlighting how different she is from Trump and Biden. Unfortunately she doesn't actually have many notable policy differences I suppose.
