False equivalency

The bar of expectation has been set so low for Trump that whenever he doesn't sound like a blithering idiot (which is admittedly rare), the press hails the accomplishment as a conversion to statesman. Kamala Harris, on the other hand, has a much higher bar to clear as did Joe Biden. 

The reason for this is that the right wing has a far larger contingent of low information voters who are highly motivated to swallow anything you feed them. These are not exactly college professors in a country currently pushing back on intellectuals as being elitists who are guiding people the wrong way.

The coming election shouldn't even be close but not because the Harris/Walz ticket is so strong. Rather it is because voting for Trump will bring dire consequences his gullible base is almost entirely clueless about.
