The fewer unforced errors and silly controversies he's involved in between now and the election, the better his and Republicans chances.

The more of the spotlight he takes from Biden, the worse the polls are. He needs lay low.

And we pretty much know that isn't in Trump's nature. He can't keep quiet.

If the same level of accuracy holds for 2020, then it means Trump is currently down somewhere between 7.4-9.6 points.

As you further know, there is no winning the EC with a popular vote loss in that range.
It's all about the swing states......and who knows with that.

Four weeks is a long time, lots can happen.

"last card before the election" More "it's the Russians" talk ...more "mail in ballots" talk ...in the brains of the common TDSer, everying that the POTUS does is a "gimmick"...it can't possibly be about what's best for the country, oh no...god forbid ...they've been talking and making up stuff like this since they lost the last election. These folks are drowning in the left wing koolaid.

All of this tonight is a gamble.

What if he takes a turn -- like many have....and ends up back in the hospital.

This will backfire big time.

I hope it doesn't.
I hope he is able to convalesce for the next two weeks. He can tweet, do his videos...he seems to do well with those...maybe hold a virtual rally of sorts. i don't wish him ill will at all.

But it's a gamble.

And the gamble of tring to suggest Biden would do so poorly at the debate didn't work.

Trump tries such grandiose schemes and made for tv plots that he always puts himself out there -- sometimes it works for him....but meh ----- mainly with the base.

The hyperbole was out of this world from all of those stupid talking heads.

No surprise that those on the left want to spin this as a negative event, TDS is real.

Polls? Like the ones that had him losing the last election in a landslide? In before you bring up the popular vote, I think we all learned in middle school that isn't how to win the White House. We know your playbook and talking points.

He managed to do so actually after the Hollywood access tape. It was the most disciplined and controversy free month arguably he's ever had.

That was probably a bit of a fluke though, but if did just shut up for a while, the polls could tighten.

My cousins family all got Covid-19 in May, symptoms ranged from next to nothing for her younger kids, mild flu symptoms for her and the older kids, and her husband had some difficulties and spent Thursday-Sunday in the hospital but was released all well. The average person that goes to the hospital spends 2-3 days there. The people that WAIT too long until they are horribly congested and then go in (and the elderly) are the ones that Covid-19 is taking.

In trumpette world there's only people who love Trump and anyone else is "the left." Even if they're conservative, they're "the left" or "libs." Libertarians? "the left." Independents? "the left." Constitutionalists? "the left." Repubs who don't support Trump? "the left." Extreme right wingers who don't love the Trump? "the left."

Trumpettes show how utterly stupid they are every.single.time, incapable of understanding there is a huge swath across the spectrum and even people on the right aren't fans of your dear leader. Does that make them "libs" and "the left" too? Do you even know your right from your left?

Guess who suffers from "TDS?" Trumpettes. Their entire world revolves around their dear leader. Nothing else matters to them. He is their north star, they can't think without him or his minions telling them what to say.
