Trump did every possible thing not to get reelected and acts as if he should


He, Barr, McConnell, Graham and Republicans’ in-your-face actions have resulted in nothing for the People.

From impeachment; to the ACA; to Social Security; to the supreme court; to coronavirus; to the trade war and tax/tariffs with China; to 400 untouched Democratic bills; to embracing dictators like John Ill and Putin and turning his back on diplomacy with the UN— this man has abused the very people who might have supported him. His incessant lies, lack of civility and absence of simple courtesy as a human being put him in perpetual DGAF mode long ago.

It’s so bad he pretty likely even faked coronavirus to get out of a debate because he absolutely has nothing to offer the American people or to show for his time on our dime.

How in the world does he think this sets him up to be re-appointed?

The fact that anybody does what they do and still thinks they deserve to stick around is either crazy [he is not] or believes that they don’t have to do anything of merit because they cannot lose.

This is the real problem. The foundation they’ve built that requires a Herculean effort to oust them must be destroyed.

Well he was going to unveil his fabulous "VaporCare" health care plan after being re-elected (and ONLY after).

As long as those groups are being oppressed, nothing else matters to MAGAts.

3. it's amazing, really. history will ponder how incredibly stupid other republicans and the media were

to tether themselves to not just a horrible president, but a horrible politician as well.

he's made every mistake in the book and added a few chapters as well, and it's looking like he'll finally pay the price in november.

very simple. repeatedly alienate and offend the vast majority of the voters and they'll vote you out. add a yuge number of scandals and your political career is kaput.

yet the republicans chose to fall in line. all the other republican politicians bowed to him as if he were a political titan. but he was always a complete loser.

how is it that he wasn't treated from the get-go as an incompetent amateur at best?

6. If the polls are accurate, it's not close at all.

Double digits would be a massive blowout. The only reason it's "close" is the EC and that might not even be that close at the end.

Starting with a new voting rights act. election reform and civic education. We need a cultural change that celebrates, knowledge and redefined wat it means to be patriotic. We have been dumbed downed so much, it’s not even funny.

7. trumpf and his enablers have placed their bets on a non-transfer of power

I'm sure (hoping) that some honest people with power in the US are looking at how to cope with this possibility.

9. The anti-abortion folks are probably pleased with him.

I can't think of how the white evangelicals can be pleased about anything else from him, though.

Some wealthy people are probably happy about tax breaks.

will be voting for Biden. If Trump loses, it will be because those who voted for him last time realize the error of their ways.
