Beware of Trump's October Surprise,

I bet it is an attack on Biden using a false Russian / Ukrainian report.

Watch

I say within the next two or three weeks Trump admin will release a false investigation report coming out of Barr's justice department.

Just be ready for it. Refute the lies!

Been on the radar for some time.

Trump kind of stepped on Ukraine, though, by ACTUALLY being corrupt and saying no big deal, so I’m not sure whatever they cooked up will be very exciting.

Many republicans in certain positions are going for VP Biden and slowly stuff in coming out against shithole everyday. One thing republicans are experts at, bringing out things not in favor of their opposition and making it somewhat stick.

treason barr and his minions will be making up stuff against Democrats, the DOJ truly needs to be cleaned out.

Christians my arse, these people are evil.

I think there will be several data drops exposing Trump even more. Of course it won't effect his 25-27% base but I think it will have an impact on a lot of "independents."

7. They had better come up with something fresher than that

IMO the most likely things to be dominating news coverage in October are as follows:

1 the virus and its death toll

2 the crushing effect on the economy as enhanced benefits expire next month. That will lead to a spike in evictions and mortgage defaults. In addition, there are going to be many high profile companies laying off thousands of workers. American Airlines and United will be two of them. The retail sector will also be hammered. It’s going to be ugly.

Joe has nothing in his past they can tap into like Hillary had. Although Hillary's past "scandals" were entirely bogus they were reported in the media as if they were real. That gave the GOP an opening to exploit. Joe does not have that problem.
