Trump might already be out of time

[brooklynite]

Politico:

Donald Trump and his new team think they have 73 days to turn this campaign around. They’re wrong.

The Republican nominee — three months after clinching the nomination — has begun frantically trying to reposition himself in the last week, installing a new campaign manager and controversial CEO to help him escape the straitjacket that his 14 months of incendiary comments and hard-edged policy positions have him in.

His task, GOP insiders readily concede, seems close to impossible. In an interview Wednesday night, Trump’s new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, recognized how long it may take to improve the public’s negative perceptions of the GOP nominee, likening her turnaround project to turning a tanker.

Trump may not have that kind of time. Early voting begins in 28 days in Minnesota and in 32 other states soon after that. And already as summer inches to its end, 90 percent of Americans say they’ve decided. For all the televised daily drama this race has provided, the final outcome itself is shaping up to be less dramatic than any presidential election since 1984.

1. For several things . . . .

"I" will in 1 hour of presidency:

A. Get rid of all illegal criminals (meaning all 11 or so million "Mexicans" and Latino heritage).
B. Get rid of all crimes in the "Black" communities starting with Chicago (meaning get ready for paid for prisons for residences)

et al.,

2. The Trump Sewage Tanker has hit a reef and is spilling sewage across our political

landscape. No one can fix the leak since the internal pressure on the GOP has been building for 20+ years.

The question is: At what point does the GOP cut their losses and pull all help from the Trump campaign to focus on what they can salvage from down ticket races? I think they should have done that sooner, but are worried about the inevitable Trump attack on the GOP.

13. The GOP can try to cut its losses all it wants, but...

...they're the ones responsible for all that sewage in the tanker. All they want to Don's cut it loose, not stop making more.

3. Democrats need to destroy Trump over the next 30 days

Never let him get his footing.

5. Make Trump the anchor chain on the entire GOP!!

Chain him to every GOP candidate! (Here in Missouri, we're calling it "the Trump-Blunt agenda" to hang it on the incumbent Senator Roy Blunt, who is up for re-election.)

8. Absolutely!!!

4. Yet Politico is guaranteed to be right there supporting Drumpf

by-

1.) repeating but not correcting the false bullshit spewed
2.) continually pushing false equivalency and insisting that "both sides do it"
3.) cherry-picking polls that show a "close race" in order to keep the "horse race" going so they can continue to fill this election cycle's media coverage with more drivel

6. For months now "paths to victory" have been THEORETICAL far more

than achievable. The media actually does have an obligation not to settle elections by telling the public the door's slammed on one of their choices when a miracle turn-around could happen, but this is the simple truth. Not the phony "he could still win if" the media have been pushing.

Lack of time to get some special Kool-Aid down enough throats is far from the only thing Trump lacks to win.

There's still huge drama in the Senate, House, and state governments, though. Will the next couple of terms go down in history as a period of building and advances or another clawing inch-by-inch upward?

7. Bury the bastard!

Deep deep in the polls. I want to see the biggest blowout in US history.

[Moostache]

9. This is guaranteed to not be Mondale '84 blow out

Simply because there are far more than 2 red states that would vote to stick forks in their eyes to spite the consensus opinion or vote for a Democratic candidate.

I think 400 electoral college votes is the ceiling now because like the bloodless zealot Trumpeter was saying earlier in the week...NOTHING will sway them, and they really do mean nothing.

[sellitman]

10. I disagree

I have friends who voted for Trump in the Primary and now are embarrassed of their choice. I bet there are more of these idiots then you suspect.

11. Trumpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Trumpty Dumpty had a great fall

All the kings horses and all the kings men with all the lipstick in the world
Couldn't put Trumpty together again

12. Start of early voting is when the concrete pumper trucks show up

to begin burying Trump in the hole he's dug for himself. Conway has to first get him to stop digging.
