Feels pretty hopeless. He is losing in every swing state at the moment, and he seems to be running a campaign as bad as Hillary's. I really do not see how he can bounce back. Kamala is by now means a good candidate, and will be a terrible president. A "normie" repub would be winning right now, no? It really just seemed like a great opportunity for him to win and he's just fumbling the bag hard.

Am I wrong? Is there a path to victory for our boy?

I mean that would be funny, but the polls say otherwise. Trump has been running an absolutely god awful campaign.

I am not sure that mods will even see this, but it was a bit and I don't think it should have been taken down. I feel like if I was even more on the nose it would have been taken down for that reason... Am I missing something here?

    No, if America enters a war with Hezbollah or Iran he will probably win. Kamala and Biden are openly pro war and Trump is presenting himself as the anti war candidate. If a war starts where America soldiers start coming back in coffins by the hundreds it's Joever for Kamala. Especially if the price of gas skyrockets as a result of Saudi refineries getting annihilated, hell even if it spikes up as a result of conflict in the region.

      That's not his messaging on Israel. And frankly there's no way that American boots are put on the ground unless a Navy ship is sunk or something, and two months of American caskets (dozens of dead?) is not enough time for antiwar sentiment to develop. Americans love a patriotic war.

        wouldn't be too sure about the Navy ship with the boots getting through, if the first one got sunk

      Something that extreme happening between now and then is probably the only thing that could shake the current paradigm up in the election. I'm not 100% sure it would mean a Trump victory but something of that magnitude could make him competitive again for sure
