NEW: Trumpworld insiders and GOP campaign veterans have a warning for Democrats: Don't get cocky just because the initial @TeamTrump response to @JoeBiden's selection of @KamalaHarris is a bit schizophrenic. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump-kamala-harris-biden-vp-pick-2020-election-us-democrats-a9668656.html
While @Theonlyhonest posited that Trumpworld might hold fire on @KamalaHarris to keep the Black community from "circl[ling] the wagons around her," one ex-Trump campaign official noted that Trump reserves "the worst and nastiest attacks for women of color." https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump-kamala-harris-biden-vp-pick-2020-election-us-democrats-a9668656.html
. @JoeBiden's choice of @KamalaHarris “is actually going to magnify his disdain for black women and African Americans as a whole "so the electorate will see ...how deeply rooted his hatred is," the former campaign official said. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump-kamala-harris-biden-vp-pick-2020-election-us-democrats-a9668656.html
Ex- @GOP Chair @MichaelSteele warned Dems to not read too much into the first 24 hours of @TeamTrump attacks: “Knowing...how the RNC looks at these types of races, and...how Trump is going to come at this thing, I think they can bide their time," he said. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump-kamala-harris-biden-vp-pick-2020-election-us-democrats-a9668656.html
. @MichaelSteele cautioned that looking for “instant analysis” of @TeamTrump’s strategy for dealing with @KamalaHarris is a fool’s errand. “I guarantee you Donald Trump has something that he's gonna drop that’s gonna make everybody go: ‘What the fuck?’” https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump-kamala-harris-biden-vp-pick-2020-election-us-democrats-a9668656.html
But ex-GOP campaign boss @SteveSchmidtSES said the Trump strategy is clear: “He has June Cleaver...pictured ...surrounded by large menacing black men. He’s explicitly saying that the black people are coming to your suburbs to live and do violence to you.” https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump-kamala-harris-biden-vp-pick-2020-election-us-democrats-a9668656.html
. @SteveSchmidtSES, who didn't use such racist messaging as the McCain '08 campaign manager vs Obama, said @realDonaldTrump's fall campaign will be "like one part ideological exaggeration, one part racial animus and one part batshit crazy conspiracy theory." https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump-kamala-harris-biden-vp-pick-2020-election-us-democrats-a9668656.html
ex-Trumpworld insider @OMAROSA said the Biden-Harris ticket "is formidable because it's going to trigger [ @realDonaldTrump] in ways where he'll be all over the place,” adding that Trump would not have much self-control against her because "he is not well." https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump-kamala-harris-biden-vp-pick-2020-election-us-democrats-a9668656.html
. @OMAROSA, who has known Trump since '04, had a dire warning for @TeamJoe & @TheDemocrats: “This man can be vulgar & disgusting, has no sense of decency & can go very, very low, so brace yourself,” she said. “Brace yourself, brace yourself, brace yourself”. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump-kamala-harris-biden-vp-pick-2020-election-us-democrats-a9668656.html
