Trump is a prisoner of his base.

If I were a campaign advisor, I'd urge him to give Churchillian speeches from now until next Tuesday. But he can't. His base expects red meat, the bloodier the better. He's stuck.

Savannah Guthrie: A classic example of a woman who was underestimated until

she was allowed to perform. Welcome to the club, Savannah. You blew Trump away. You saved NBC's ass and you showed up every reporter, mainly men, who has failed to ask the hard questions, failed to follow up, and played the corporate game of going along to get along. You were the epitome of poise, preparation and persistence.

Just for fun, let's go back to Trump's dementia test...the one that he "aced".

Yesterday I had my annual physical under Medicaid. I'm Trump's age. I was asked to draw a clock and place the hands at 12:25. I was given three words - captain, garden, picture - and asked to repeat them in order about 10 minutes later. While we were chatting about my medical history, I asked the nurse practitioner why the word and clock test didn't include more questions. She said that if I flunked the word and clock test, they would go ahead and give me a longer, more detailed test.

I "aced" the word and clock test. It's pretty certain that Trump didn't and had to take the more detailed test, which he probably also flunked.

Anybody who can't pass the word and clock test shouldn't be President.

The Lincoln Project should look into this.

Fauci should resign tomorrow.

The Trump Campaign will not take the ad misquoting him off the air and it will do a lot of damage... not so much to Biden's campaign but to the public health. Fauci can do more good now if he is out of the White House.

I am not an alarmist but I think we should all start praying that this nut doesn't

try and start a war. He may feel that it is all he has left and that no amount of election cheating will save him.

I had my son at Walter Reed in 1971. I almost

gave birth by myself because the Colonel Doc went out for a three martini lunch. When he returned, the baby was crowning. I was in the hospital for 3 days and the total bill was $5.23 (the food charge).

He took off his mask. He can't breathe normally. They will be giving him

oxygen before the night is over. He'll be back in trouble very soon.

OK, Mr. President, I won't be afraid of Coovid-19, just tell me where I go to sign in to

the Presidential Suite so that I can get the same medications and treatment you got.
