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?

    I agree nobody's really flipping from D to R or vice versa, but do you really think trump doesn't also have to gin up some excitement to bring out his base? his recent rizzlessness seems like it could get some of the hogs who like him to go back to not voting

    But yeah. the majority of movement is on the dem side this year. Trump isn't doing himself any favors but he could still win if they fumble the PR cycle hard enough

      His base isn't watching his current rizzlessness, they're consuming old Trump content or the idealized picture in their minds of Trump. Material reality is secondary to spectacle. It's the same with Kamala; she's a blank slate, an entity of pure projection.

        But I remember back in 2016; the hogs were oinking excitedly, now they seem sad and and uninterested.
