It's not hard to envision him as a flounder, flapping away at the sea bottom, LYD.

The important gist of this article is twofold. One is that Trump is showing no signs of listening to any advisor not telling him what he already believes himself. He will not stay disciplined in focusing his attacks on Kamala Harris to (as they see it) her long history in government and of changing views on issues from previous campaigns. He will continue to underestimate her and see her as inferior to himself, regardless that most of America isn't seeing what he sees. Which leads to two.

Two is that Trump's money men and women are seeing Harris just like most of us are and they recognize that if Trump doesn't focus himself into countering the Harris blitz, and fast, he's far more likely to lose the election big than win a close race with his already built-in Electoral College advantages. If this reporting is correct, Trump is arguing with one of his biggest donors and ignoring others trying to tell him that he's going to lose unless he puts in the work needed to win by their metrics. And Trump just ------- them away when the donors' instincts are probably the right ones politically.

The people bankrolling Trump's campaign didn't become filthy rich by throwing good money at bad business. They're in it to win it every single time. They see Trump's diminished capacity and unwillingness to take sage advice as increasingly a losing proposition if he continues down the road he's currently traveling. What for any hints that this big money starts drying up as these last 86 pre-election days wind down.

The word is that Bunker Bitch calls VPOTUS "Bitch" behind the scenes. I would bet good money that the N-word either preceeds or follows that word. I would lay odds that in The next few weeks he will be calling ber bitch at Klan rallies and on Troth Sential, and by election day, when it's obvious he's getting zero black vote and little Hispanic vote, he will let fly with the N-word. The way he was using the word "black" in a mocking tone at the NABJ conference, you know it was a stand-in for the N-word.

Dotard has his base perfectly diagnozed, they are hateful, petulant, racists who blame every perceived slight or failure as someone else's fault. That is also a perfect description for Dotard, which is why the MAGAts relate to him so well. His mistake is believing that his base is larger than about 30% of RV. The rest of us are sick of his divisive politics and he will see a blue wave sweep him into prison in November.

Yessir! I think the only reason he ran was in an attempt to stay out of prison.

Trump has no idea how to fight a ticket inspiring joy and happiness and hope. He's never experienced those feelings himself, so he has no idea how to counter this organic groundswell of support for his opponent.

Lack of money and fear of another assassination attempt are the only two things I can think of that would keep Trump off the campaign trail.

So, unless Harris has a giant flub . . or Trump can stage some heroic event, like rushing into a burning building to rescue orphan children, he's going to get blitzed right out of business by November.

Concur, TWINPAC, lack of funds and fear are part of it. And it's hard to see prosecutor Kamala flubbing, isn't it?

#45 will have to rely on inspirational J Dunce Vance who already threw a brick with his insinuation that Gov. Tim Walz was guilty of "Stolen Valor."

Retired four star general Barry McCaffrey tweeted him into the dustbin:

"JD Vance is a shameful person unsuitable for public office. His comments are those of a stooge for Russian aggression."

Ouch!

Trump deserves to lose by a landslide. Arrogant, immature, unAmerican, tax cheat, fraudster, groper, theif of TS classified documents, insurrection inciter, and whiner-in-chief and fabulist-in-chief

Thank you, CORIOLANUS. But I already have a mutual admiration fan club.

The tide is turning. I'm thinking 45 out of 50 states.

LMAO.... There's going to be a lot of hurt feelings come November.

I don't think it's money or fear keeping Dotard off the trail, its sloth. He was measuring the curtains in the oval after the RNC. He thought he had it in the bag and it was smooth sailing through to November, that he'd win without having to work hard.

Now the race has been upended, he's the obese, slow old man in a race with a couple of race horses who seem to relish in the hard work. Dotard doesn't have the energy for more than a couple of events per week, and his habit of stiffing venues and cities means that his choices are limited. He played a 1AA basketball arena in Bozeman that holds less than 10,000 for his event this week. While Harris/Walz appeared in front of well over 50,000 in their appearances in the swing states, which has led to significant polling trends in the blue wall states.

On top of that, the Dems are running a massive GOTV game with offices by the thousands and volunteers in the hundreds of thousands. Compare that to the GQP who have outsourced their GOTV to groups who have no idea what they're doing like Turning Point Action. Dotard just opened his FIRST office in GA, and it was commemorated by a fist fight. One party is in array, the other is in disarray, it's nice that this time for Dems the shoe is on the other foot.

Most likely. And if Harris doesn't fall flat on her face between now and then, there's also likely to be a lot of GOP congress critters sorry they ever heard Trump's name.

I find amusing that he and his followers were calling for Biden to drop out forever ... ... but had no plan for if he actually did.

Take nothing for granted and fight like hell, But, yes,

If and when Kamala wins the election, there will be a second MAGA coup attempt. As night follows day.

Well, he's already tried "assassination". Isn't it interesting that no one gave a sh-- after three days?

So no peaceful transfer of power again?

Do you think maybe they can refrain from trying to overthrow our government this time?
