"Former Rep. David Jolly (R-Fla.) said that as things stand right now, Donald Trump will lose the election as voters grow tired of his act and more enthusiastic about Vice President Kamala Harris. "
"And Trump’s rambling speeches, which go on so long that some fans have been walking out before they’re over, aren’t helping. "
“He’s more like the aging rock star whose fans have kind of faded away, so it’s more like a reunion tour for him,” Jolly said on MSNBC on Sunday. “It just doesn’t quite have the spark it had in 2016, and the lack of enthusiasm is there as well and he’s not helping himself.”
"He noted that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) earlier in the day warned Trump he could lose the election if he continues with the insults and personal attacks.
“Lindsey Graham is right,” Jolly said. “Donald Trump will likely lose to Vice President Harris as we stand here today.”
"Jolly said Trump’s team has been trying to “throw the kitchen sink” at Harris with a wide range of attacks but so far “nothing’s sticking.” He said Harris seems to have the popular vote locked up, and the Electoral College vote is moving in her direction as well. "

"Donald Trump’s lies took on the look of fevered hallucinations last week."
"First, Trump falsely claimed that his rallies have more attendees than Harris-Walz rallies."
"To counter evidence of television camera shots of the big crowds, he said it was an illusion, all computer-generated by some evil hand."
"Second, Trump claimed to have once been in a near-death helicopter crash with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, where Brown confided to him “terrible things” about his one-time protege Harris in what they thought would be their final moments alive on Earth."
"Brown says Trump is lost in a crazed fantasy because this never happened."
"Third, Trump held up two boxes of TicTac candy to falsely claim that inflation has ballooned grocery prices by “50, 60, even 100 percent in some cases,” despite official, publicly available statistics showing the rise has been closer to 20 percent."
"And since he is running in a 2024 campaign, the most pertinent fact is that inflation has slowed and just hit its lowest mark since 2021."
"But Trump is selling his followers a fantasy in which the only truth is what Trump says is the truth."
"He wants his fans to believe he is the only source of truth."
"Famously, he made the insulting claim that he knows Kamala Harris’s race better than she does because “I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black…”
"He advises his followers to ignore that she was born to an Indian mother and Black Jamaican father, attended a historically Black college and entered a Black sorority."
