Every day talking about Trump's malfeasance and mendacity is a day lost for his campaign.

IMO the most important metric in this campaign is the Klansman's approval rating. Re-election campaigns are referendums on the incumbent. If voters like the job he or she is doing they vote to rehire him or her. If they don't, they don't. As long as the Klansman's approval is mired in the low forties his re-election chances will remain dismal.

I hope there is a new controversy every day between now and November 3rd.

the public.

He is playing defense.

Trying to explain his hatred of the military and downplaying the virus..... playing defense is a no no in the alt-right playbook.

&t=335s

PS: These alt-right playbook videos are excellent if you want to try to understand how they argue and brainwash their followers.

Can deal with the other shit later. Possible to hold two goals at the same time.

Keep putting Trump on the defense. Keep hammering him. Get him out of office.

Then settle other scores.

Keep him on the defense for the next 8 weeks...and more.

Lob one bomb after the next at his bs campaign & drive that lying s.o.b. into a corner.

We've all had enough of him.

Every day we are talking about his mendacity and malfeasance is a day lost for him to improve his position and there aren't that many days left.

Way too late to steer the Trumptanic away from that flotilla of icebergs.

And he certainly hasn't done the job....Awaiting the next example of dereliction of duty....
