Trump's polling is getting worse and worse... what's he going to try to turn the tide this time?

Nothing was working in 2016. He fired Manafort, I don't remember all the details but everything was going wrong. Then he brought in Steve Bannon. There were other convergences.

Is it possible Trump will bring in Bannon again?

He's going to try and use the good old evil Socialism scheme by sending out more stimulus checks and then somehow convince his supporters that the evil Demoncrats would never do such a nice thing for them!

He's waxing insanely right now on an exclusive Hannity interview, will that help?

Joe will be controlled by radical leftists if he get into office.

In 2016 he was not polling this badly. Even with the lead Clinton had, there were a number of scenarios where she could lose. As it turned out, 70,000 votes over three States made the difference. Had she had this type of polling advantage, our current situation could have been avoided. I look at Biden very much like tRump in 2016. Everyone wrote him off and then he turned things around to create an unstoppable movement. The more tRump and Barr take apart the justice system, the more likely people will maintain the pressure to stop them.

Of course he believes that... Trump has been controlled by radical right interests (foreign and domestic) since the minute he announced his candidacy.

My guess is really big stimulus checks. If he can't win the election, he'll take a shot at buying it with our money.

As 2016 showed us, at this point it doesnt matter. One month prior to voting she was 13% ahead of Trump. What happened?

Yes, and there is also a single poll which came out last week which put Biden up by 14% as well. But we're not going off individual polls because that is totally ridiculous.


Not only did Clinton never show a lead that big, but her high points (a little over 7%) didn't last more than a week or so. Biden's lead has been steadily growing for close to two months now. This is not just a blip from a few good polls these past few days. It may very well change, but it's not looking so great for Trump right now, and hasn't been for quite some time.

Trump is a one trick pony as far as his go-to scheme is concerned.

Simply put, he lies and he lies and he lies some more. He lies as if he were telling the truth. He lies no matter how blatantly false they are. He lies with a straight face and emphatically red-faced double downs on them when pressured to tell the truth. His lies are strewn all over the place, not caring if they're fact checked false, inaccurate and/or jaw dropping whoppers that only his base would buy into.

He got chosen and elected because his lies beat out all the other lies the Repub candidates were bantering on about. From thereon in he has been on a lying binge the likes we've never ever seen from a sitting POTUS. He even beat out Reagan with his trickle down bullshit economic policies that gave the wealthy gifts beyond their wildest dreams at the expense of the working class, Repub conservatives included.

The deeper his troubles became, the worse his lies have become. There is no limit to his lying because his supporters cheer him on every time he comes up with them and the checks and balances put in place to keep him on the straight and narrow have been tossed aside by Moscow Mitch and his band of cowering Repubs in the Senate.

Insanity defined.

But most importantly, he's packed the courts with conservative judges, he's demolished environmental laws, he's cut taxes for the rich and the corporations...and he's made himself millions and millions of dollars on the taxpayers' dime.
Unless the Dems manage to take the Senate and hold the house in November, he'll get away scott-free with everything he's done...illegal or just unethical...it's POSSIBLE that if there's enough evidence of any state crimes he could be charged in state court...but I'm certainly not going to hold my breath.
Trump has truly turned out to be a Teflon Don.

I have a very serious allergy to that guy. My skin starts to crawl, I tense up, get nervous, my eyes bulge, my blood pressure goes up. My hands tense and clinch, I'm on edge. My hair stands up. I want to start throwing things... but I don't. I keep calm, realizing in a few seconds it will all be over. If it isn't, I fast forward. Sometimes I pause and think to myself, "what am I seeing and hearing here?" BTW, I've never watched any of his State of the Nation, or whatever those things are called (uh, yeah, Union). No way I could sit through 45 minutes of that crap.

Below is the best portrait of the orange menace that I have ever seen, I imagine. Of course, I've seen many, but this nails it:
ok..Oops forgot commentary!! Trump at his best!!!

Short answer? Nothing. Maybe he's finally coming to the realization that the job was not all he thought it would be. It's not always good to be the king. But he won't admit defeat, or quit. So the only way left to him to get out and still maintain (in his mind) a semblance of dignity is to lose.

Even if that means sabotaging your own campaign.

Well, then I hope that's exactly what he does... more self-sabotage. I want to see him thrashed on election day in a historical fashion. That more than anything I can think of right now would give me hope that the US has a path to survival.
Replace Pence and pick Obama as running mate
Obama would just get nauseous at the thought of being on the same ticket as him and say, "no thank you."
