You miss my point completely.  I'm saying for Harris to win, she needs to run on image and likeability.  That's her path to winning.  That's what she's actually doing right now, and it's actually working.   Because Trump is so un-likeable.

Trump's advantage is on the issues.  So he needs to run on the issues.  His problem is, he can't seem to focus.  When he does give a speech at a rally, it's 90 minutes of trash talk, which his fans seem to enjoy, but it won't get him beyond his base.  Have you watched those speeches?  He just riffs for 90 minutes with whatever comes into his head.  And half of it is verifiably untrue.  He needs to get a script, and stick to it.  When he lies about going up in a helicopter with Willie Brown, for example, it's just a distraction.
