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?

    it's no use predicting anything until the October Surprise. that's when the media cycle dials itself in to the horserace framing and some event can be characterized as being decisive, being repeated over and over in the news cycle until you can almost hear the low hum of the easily swayed minds vibrating at the same frequency, inducing them to stay home or get a sticker.... that 5% of the population that sway elections in key geographic areas.

    that is when it will be known which administration has been selected by capital to operate the throttle on this train racing to hell.

      Capital supports both parties, so it always comes up on top. Both parties are trying to do an October surprise, the winner will be the one with a surprise that makes for better TV. No one's masterminding this shit, it's just a game show
