GOP: Trump needs a new plan

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republicans say President Trump should make a course correction and shift his strategy after a series of dismal polls showed him badly trailing presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Republican senators thought Trump was cruising to reelection only a few months ago but they now worry his relentless focus on revving up his party’s base is hurting his chances, as well as their own of staying in control of the upper chamber.

“I think right now obviously Trump has a problem with the middle of the electorate, with independents, and they’re the people who are going to decide a national election,” Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) said Wednesday.

“I think he can win those back, but it will probably require not only a message that deals with substance and policy, but I think a message that conveys a perhaps different tone,” he added.

Sorry but there ain't any lipstick you can put on the pig to make him pretty.

1. A "new plan"? He's never had any plan-- just puking words for applause.

13. Trump Plan has Always Been...

to trot out a new outrage to distract from the old outrage. Week in and week out.

2. Just saying, it'd be a lot easier to get a new candidate

Trump? Plan? Bwhahaha. That idiot's only plan is to feed his ego at the expense of the nation.

3. Too late for buyer's remorse now, suckers.

Caveat emptor.

4. A New Plan? Indies that he gets with a new plan will cost him more

ultra RWers in his base. That is the box Donnie built.

10. The Box the GOP built

12. Ummm, something to it, but they have no place to go.

Trump would just have to GOTV in November, and they're always quivering eagerly for red meat tossed to them by their leader. He's also been reading teleprompter script they know is completely insincere ("They made me say this.&quot all along.

5. Perhaps Russia or Iran can engineer a major terrorist attack.

Those have a way of immediately causing whole populations to temporarily become more conservative and rally around their leader. Of course, this leader is increasingly appearing even to the right as an irrational bumble-blob instead of the strongman they thought they elected. Considering his ongoing summer meltdown, an autumn attack might only assist Russia by creating the chaos they intend anyway.

Btw, Trump's been hinting that some things that will be coming out, strongly reminiscent of their Russian-aided attacks on Hillary. Just before our convention would continue their new tradition, but that doesn't begin until August 17.

And their attempts to convince people Covid will be over by Easter, then by Memorial Day, and now it's about to disappear are...losing credibility. They need something sooner.

6. He admittedly says he goes by his gut...

And that’s a lot of gut to change.

7. A message of "substance and policy" that conveys a "different tone" ? . . .

Ain't gonna happen.

8. Fuck the Con

and fuck every ReTHUG enabler

[lettucebe]

9. tRump is incapable of making a course shift. He operates by impulse. Nothing will change this

He is not strategic. He does not plan or think things through. He's lizard-like in his myopic thinking. Only one thing is in his view and that is himself. He's simply too stupid to realize he's never going to have a second term due to his own actions.

11. Narcissists can't find fault in themselves & thus can't change. . . . nt

14. If Republicans were smart (they aint) ...

they'd dump him like the piece of shit that he is.
