I suspect any October Surprise Trump tries will fall flat

[jmowreader]

Trump has been attacking Biden for a very long time, and all those attacks have failed. I can see nothing Trump could try that the electorate, who is prepared to get rid of the son-of-a-bitch at the earliest possible opportunity, won't see through as the BS that it is. This is not to say he won't try one; rather, the real "October Surprise" would be if he didn't. But at the same time, when he drops whatever crap he's going to drop, the electorate will be like "yeah, right motherfucker, why don't you just go back to your Quadruple Big Mac?"

On the other side of the ballot, an October Surprise will be a waste of time for the Biden camp. Trump's malfeasance is well-known, and anyone who was planning to vote for that thing would do it even if we could prove Trump uses American flags and Bibles as heating fuel. "Oh, he's just retiring those flags and those were non-King James Bibles, they are an abomination and needed to be burned. MAGA!"

3. I agree. And don't forget, he is a toddler,

and has the patience of a toddler. If he did have anything of substance, no way he could wait til October to spring it on us...we’d have heard about it by now. Any Biden-related October surprise is going to be flimsy and fake, and no one except his base will buy it.

4. I'm guessing he'll drop a bomb somewhere,

And claim you have to vote for a war-time president. (not being entirely facetious!)
