"JD #Vance’s Combative Style Confounds Democrats but Pleases #Trump"
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/31/us/politics/jd-vance-trump-vp.html

The #NYTimes (@nytimes) doesn't understand what "confounds" means. Dems are not "confounded" by Vance's rhetoric. They understand it, answer it, denounce it, refute it, ridicule it.

By contrast. Trump and Vance are confounded by #Harris and #Walz. They're floundering for an effective line of attack.
