So, what's your gut feeling?

[canetoad]

Did we see tonight a broken man leave the plane?

Or will he persist with the old Trump bullshit?

Either way, he's gone.

[vercetti2021]

1. He'll have a rage-fest

I give it a day. He will blame it on everybody

[GoCubsGo]

27. Yep, and that's what worries me.

He's a petty, vindictive fuck, and gawd knows what sadistic thing he's going to do to make himself feel better--besides stiffing Tulsa for the cost of his stunt last night.

[soothsayer]

2. His narcissism won't allow him to register this big fail

But for awhile I’m sure he was unhappy, until his squirming toad brain figured out how to justify it as not being a huge flop.

[Jamastiene]

8. He won't leave his fairy tale world.

I agree with you about his narcissism. He won't leave his fairy tale world. He will tell himself he's huge popular and continue doing what he does.

[Ford_Prefect]

22. The question to ask is how badly will this fail register with the rest of the GOP?

Will they see this as the nose-plant it was, or take the video close-ups and make new campaign ads. If they have been reading their in-house polling at all they know they are in trouble.

Whether the idea that they were seriously trolled on the reserved attendance predictions because their state campaign manager is an over-paid technological fool will resonate within the larger campaign is debatable. There seems to be a presumption in GOP circles that they don't need perfect numbers showing at his rallies they only need to sell the appearance of good attendance to Trump himself.

[LymphocyteLover]

29. Yes, exactly-- I expect at least some rats will be fleeing because of this

[agingdem]

24. In his sociopathic "mind"

he is the master of his own paranoid universe..always the victim and always the hero..He is the definition of the Dunning-Kruger Effect..

[2naSalit]

33. +1

[Andy823]

44. Exactly!

He will blame everyone else for the miserable turn out, he may even fire a few people. He will pout for days and make himself the "victim" of some plot by Democrats to make him look bad, and then he will go back to being his same old disgusting self. Narcissists never change.

[captain queeg]

3. Not sure but I feel the best I have in awhile. More positive and hopeful.

Even starting to believe in karma again. Though he’s got a lot more hell coming to make me a believer. First day of summer, things are looking up.

[mwb970]

18. Me too!

After the events of this week I am feeling MUCH better and MUCH more certain that we will be rid of this menace soon.

Of all of the positive signs, I found this short Biden ad to be the most uplifting:

[DonaldsRump]

4. Yes, yes, and yes. n/t

[Mike 03]

5. He'll continue to lie and double-down, but it won't have the effect

it used to have. The "magic" is gone. Perhaps we will even see resignations from the inner circle (I'm thinking Kellyanne Conway), and firings.

The worse WW2 got for Germany, the more radicalized the Nazis became. Even "defeatism" was punishable by death. Trump isn't Hitler, but he has a similar mindset, and so do his True Believers, and Trump is badly deteriorating (like Hitler) as things get worse and worse. Would they throw in the towel at some point? It's hard to know.

[empedocles]

10. Similarities

[3Hotdogs]

19. Kellyanne will stay. She's blond. Ain't as purty as she was a couple'a years ago....

But ya don't see her on the boob tube much anymore. She's White House furniture and as long as she doesn't get any headlines, her paycheck is safe.

[MrsCoffee]

26. Actually, it looks like she somehow got a bunch of plastic surgery done during the pandemic.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8435489/Kellyanne-Conway-looks-like-new-woman-interview.html

[Blue_playwright]

30. Wait... BOTH of these pix are Kellyanne?

😳😳😳

[MrsCoffee]

31. Yeah...there is video of recent interview somewhere, but pretty sure it was on Fox.

Looked liked the cameras quadruple filtered her.

[2naSalit]

36. Seems she's going for the ivank look...

she was hawking her clothes line at once upon a time. She' hoping she can change her ID soon, wonder if her fingertips all have bandages on them. Making herself scarce, nobody will take much notice of her absence right away and she'll not be noticed on face recognition cameras... Maybe she'll go hang out with Epstein's mistress.

[MineralMan]

45. Lots of HA filler injected into that face.

Several different Juvederm products were used. Allergan stock probably went up sharply.

[3Hotdogs]

47. Man, she's hot now. I'd do her.

[MrsCoffee]

51. Women are not just for male consumption.

[smirkymonkey]

49. That is a remarkable overhaul.

It doesn't even look like the same person. It must have cost a fortune!

[malaise]

6. He should have stayed in the bunker

It's over

[canetoad]

7. Best of all

People get to see his desperation and humilation. This makes me happy.

[malaise]

9. I knew this day was coming and there will be many more

In fact it will get worse. He is too ignorant to understand that you can't wish away 120,000+ dead citizens. He is beyond incompetent - his act is tired - what a hilarious flop. Happy is an understatement

[C_U_L8R]

11. It's all somebody else's fault.

The buck stops somewhere over there outside the bunker and he takes no responsibility for anything whatsoever.

[vlyons]

12. He is a pathetic doddering old man

He knows he will lose, yet he will persist in his delusions and lies. People are tired of him, except his depraved supporters.

The Buddha told us 2600 years ago that all samsara offers us is suffering, old age, disease, death, and rebirth again in samsara to come back and redo it all over again.

[lastlib]

17. I may have to give up steak if he comes back as a cow.....

If karma is real, he'll wind up as hamberder. (with e.coli)

[vlyons]

35. Beijng nice to cows is how to get free of samsara

Dimwit is going to Hell, which is all about Anger, hostility, hatred, meanness of spirit, cruelty, and great great suffering. There is no loving kindness, friendship, happiness, or joy in Hell. Actually, I think Dimwit is already in a Hell of his own making.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

40. Hell exists nowhere outside but only in our five foot bodies. --Nichiren

People were shorter, then.

[safeinOhio]

13. See a trend?

A lot of voters jump on the band wagon.
Then hop off when it looks to be heading for the cliff.

[johnthewoodworker]

14. Expect non-conventional warfare. A subject change to deal with the shame of a poor rally.

Executive order attacking DACA, fire someone associated with coronavirus response, more IG or DOJ shakeups, a multitude of racist, anti-American tweets, steal money for the wall, some China bullshit, yeah I guess the same old stuff.

[imanamerican63]

15. A Twinkie Twitter filled day!

He will also fire someone today, too! His campaign manager?

[sunonmars]

16. Its going to have a big effect on the energy vampire

This will be him soon......

[Javaman]

20. He will either get more violent or hole up and

Go all bunker mentality. Or more than likely: a little bit of both.

Which scares the shit out of me

[ananda]

21. Good, so relieved.

Trump is a broken man. The emperor’s clothes are
visible and tattered.

His base is literally cracking up and starting to fold.
Many of them will get CV and some will die, because
of him.

Now Biden and the Dems will lead us through healing
and recovery.

Yes.

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

23. His creepy spell that he casts over his followers has lost a lot of it's potency.

It'll be scary to see how that affects him. Loss of slavish admiration is not going to set well with him.

[mnhtnbb]

25. If, as the leaks indicate, the Supremes will rule against him

on the tax cases, he will go ballistic.

I don't think we're done seeing the depth of his depravity nor the damage he is willing to inflict on the country to soothe his needy narcissism.

[Hugin]

28. Well, right now my gut is talking about some chocolate.

Naw, the Trumpenstein Monster with his allied swamp denizens is going to lash out like never before... We're in for the roughest patch until Nov 3. When he loses the popular vote. (Which, he will. I'm not saying they won't try to somehow reinstall him with some loophole, but, no popular vote win, ever, for the petulant man-child) Then, we're going to really see some ugly fireworks. If he physically makes it that far down the ramp.

[dlk]

32. We're stuck with Trump for at least the near future and he can do considerable damage

Wounded animals are dangerous.

[2naSalit]

39. +1

[TheBlackAdder]

34. Keep up the pressure, and actually increase it. He's adaptive and conniving so don't count him out.

[Maeve]

37. He can see the "show cancelled" on the horizon

The ratings are slipping, the viewers are turning elsewhere...

[Sherman A1]

38. I wouldn't be so sure

that he is gone. There is a whole lot of time between now and November. Much can and will likely happen.

[SKKY]

41. He will very much persist with the same old bullshit. And he is 100% NOT gone...

...that's the attitude that got him elected in the first place. It is absolutely imperative we approach the general as if he's up by 2% point everywhere. November can not be close. We need to get Biden north of 330 in the EC. Trump wins another term, and our Republic as we know it will be changed forever.

[sarge43]

42. He'll stay in his alternate reality.

He knows no other way. The voices in his head won't let him change.

[2naSalit]

43. He's going to increase the cruelty...

And most likely attempt to escalate the war on We the People and back the police violence along with another round of trying to obstruct efforts to survive the pandemic. Unless he has a massive heart attack or spontaneously combusts*, we will be fighting with him until late January. The silver lining of the moment is that we have seen that the judiciary and military are not on his side when it matters.

*Something I would like to see.

[dalton99a]

48. This is the most likely scenario.

[Solly Mack]

46. He'll nurse his wounds by hurting others.

He'll rage as usual. He'll attack others as usual.

[smirkymonkey]

50. I think one good thing about this is that his die-hard base is finally starting to see the

cracks in the facade. The bloom is off the rose. Their mighty savior is not so mighty after all.

He looked like a real loser last night, and lately he's had a string of bad luck. If anything, they are not going to want to associate with someone who is going downhill rapidly.

It will take a while, and not all of them will desert him, but I think a fair amount will eventually abandon their all-consuming passion for everything Trump. He certianly isn't going to win any new converts.

[Initech]

52. We saw the Hulk after he transforms back into Bruce Banner.
