Guys, that vid explained his whole strategy.

That's why he double down on the dumb things he says. He thinks that the only people that matter are his voting base and the two or three idiots he can con into his worldview, and the THOUSANDS that are being taken off the voter rolls.

He thinks he's got this in the bag, and the fact that he's still confident makes me very, very concerned.
