Trump's loose-cannon rallies clash with Harris' cautious endgame

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : Rob Godfrey, a South Carolina-based Republican strategist, said Trump has handed Harris gifts by playing into her strategy.
67% : And he's listening to how Harris and Trump package themselves.
56% : Trump traveled last week to New Mexico and Virginia -- states outside the main battlefield -- to try to put them in his column.
39% : Speaking at a rally outside Lancaster in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania, Trump noted the bulletproof glass that his security team has used to protect him since he was shot in the ear this year in the western part of the state.
38% : Deshaun Hall, 38, a self-described "Afro American" poet from Pennsylvania, told NBC News that he's considering whether to back the candidate he thinks would help him more financially -- Trump -- or Harris, who he thinks would do better for others economically.
34% : His spokesman Steven Cheung quickly fired off a statement insisting that Trump was arguing the media should be shielded and that he was "looking out for their welfare, far more than his own!"Once again, in a race that a Sunday NBC News poll shows is tied, 49% to 49%, heading into Tuesday's election, Trump hijacked his own message with a loose-cannon style that has defined the stretch run of his campaign.
28% : "Trump has long held that "prevent defense" is a losing strategy, and he is going on offense -- offending many Americans in the process -- as he winds up what will be his final campaign.
6% : Over little more than a week, Trump talked about people shooting through the media, said he would protect women "whether they like it or not" and appeared at a rally where one of his warm-up acts called Puerto Rico "garbage.""Trump has never had a persuasion audience in mind throughout this campaign," said Faiz Shakir, who managed the 2020 Democratic primary campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
