Not that I want to defend a know-nothing like Tur, but I do feel the "existential threat" rhetoric was not wise when directed toward the average American. Too nebulous, too "in the weeds".
And, as to the things being proposed to help Americans, I think the message was directed toward people like us who stay plugged into this stuff on a daily basis.
On cost of living, it should have been "Here's what I would do AND this guy's tariffs will make things worse." No details, no numbers. Just make him the opposite of what he was selling.
Was there some negative campaigning? Yes. I think we did it wrong.
