The age factor election: "A vote for Trump could easily be a vote for a President Vance"

Donald Trump is amplifying the Big Lie 2.0 as he primes his MAGA followers to reject the results of the 2024 election.

Norm Ornstein: The choice between Kamala Harris , a responsible leader and defender of democracy, and Donald Trump , a demonstrated enemy of democracy should not be easier or clearer.

Ornstein says he is worried about more surprises, including more hurricanes and widening of the Middle East .

Hal Brown , Matthew Dallek : If Kamala Harris wins, the key question is what happens with the House and Senate .

If it goes to the Republicans , they will have a rough couple of years , they say.

They say a Trump victory would sow a crisis of democratic legitimacy and the nation would probably enter a period of prolonged instability.

Brown: The nonstop traumatic impact of the Trump years is unlikely to end on Election Day .

David Pepper : As the election approaches, I think we will see more of Trump being Trump .

Pepper: Even if Trump loses, this election makes clear the long-term challenges we face go far beyond this cycle.

Pepper says he will join the resistance against a Trump regime in whichever ways I feel I can be the most effective.
