Trump Is Giving Up
Against both the coronavirus and Joe Biden, the president’s strategy increasingly accepts defeat.
Donald Trump can still win the 2020 presidential election; something that has a 10 percent or 15 percent chance of happening can certainly transpire. But even more than in 2016, if the president wins this time, we will have to attribute his victory to the workings of divine providence (don’t worry, I have that column pre-written), because what we’re watching is an incumbent doing everything in his power to run up his own margin of defeat.
Start with his re-election messaging, to the extent that you can discern such a thing. In 2016, Trump’s campaign message against Hillary Clinton, like his message against the Republican establishment in the primaries, had a simplicity and consistency: She supported bad trade deals; she supported stupid wars; she sold the country out to special interests and foreign governments; vote for her and you get more closed factories, more soldiers dead or crippled, more illegal immigration, more power to Wall Street and Washington, D.C.
In 2020, on the other hand, the Trump campaign has been stuck toggling back and forth between two very different narratives. One seeks to replay the last campaign (even the emails). The other narrative goes after Biden as though the Democrats had actually nominated Bernie Sanders.
A truly brilliant campaigner might be able to weave the two narratives together, but on the lips of Donald Trump their contradictions are evident. The resulting incoherence just feeds his tendency to return to old grudges and very online grievances, as though he’s running for the presidency of talk radio or his own Twitter feed. Without Steve Bannon to keep him grounded or Clinton to keep him focused, he’s making a closing “argument” that’s indistinguishable from a sales pitch for a TV show or a newsletter — suggesting that even more than four years ago, the president assumes he’ll be in the media business as soon as the election returns come in.
But the messaging failure is just the surface; it’s on policy where Trump has really acted like a Black Sox ballplayer trying to throw the World Series. Trump has mostly ignored the negotiations over relief money for months, engaging only at a point where he had become so politically weak that both Republican deficit hawks (or the born-again variety, at least) and Democratic free-spenders assume he’ll soon be gone. And meanwhile he’s let himself be drawn ever deeper — especially since his own encounter with the disease — into the libertarian style of Covid-19 contrarianism, which argues that we’re overtesting, overreacting and probably close to herd immunity anyway.
Trump has chosen to go to war with the idea of testing, with Dr. Anthony Fauci and with “experts” in general at precisely the moment when the fall wave they’ve been warning about seems to be showing up — which is also the moment when the two-thirds of Americans who describe themselves as “very” or “somewhat” concerned about the virus will be going to the polls.
The retreat to corona-minimizing is a case study in how the Trump of 2020 has ceded his biggest general-election advantage from 2016 — his relative distance from the ideological rigidities of the anti-government right — and locked himself into a small box with flatterers and cranks.
From these follies the God of surprises might yet deliver him. But every decision of his own lately has been a choice for political defeat.

Do me a favor and pass that around to all your buddies. Maybe they'll believe the Legacy Media hype and find something better to do on election day since Biden's got this one in the bag.

President Trump said on Fox Business this morning that he would "absolutely" go higher than a $1.8 trillion proposal on corona virus relief, and that he has directed Mnuchin to do so. Mitch McConnell says he will not put $1.8 trillion stimulus bill on the Senate floor. Mitch is giving up on Trump.

Texas Sen. John Cornyn is giving up on Trump.
Cornyn is the latest Republican senator to distance himself from Trump amid fears of a potential electoral blowout. Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), for example, recently unloaded on the president in a call with constituents, questioning why Republicans thought "selling a TV-obsessed, narcissistic individual to the American people was a good idea?"
Driving the news: Cornyn said his relationship with Trump was “maybe like a lot of women who get married and think they’re going to change their spouse, and that doesn’t usually work out very well."

Aides made flashy displays of their newfound wealth — including a fleet of luxury vehicles purchased by Brad Parscale, his former campaign manager.
They spent the money on unnecessary overhead, lifestyles-of-the-rich-and-famous activity by the campaign staff and vanity ads way too early. You could literally have 10 monkeys with flamethrowers go after the money, and they wouldn’t have burned through it as stupidly.
Trump is running low on cash. On Monday, the firm Medium Buying reported Trump was canceling ad buys in Wisconsin; Minnesota, which Trump had hoped to flip; and Ohio, which went for Trump in 2016 but now appears to be a tight contest.
A review of expenditures by Trump’s campaign, as well as the Republican National Committee, lays bare some of the profligate spending.
Since 2017, more than $39 million has been paid to firms controlled by Parscale, who was ousted as campaign manager over the summer. An additional $273.2 million was paid to American Made Media Consultants, a Delaware limited liability company, whose owners are not publicly disclosed.
Campaigns typically reveal in mandatory disclosures who their primary vendors are. But by routing money to Parscale’s firms, as well as American Made Media Consultants, Trump satisfied the basic disclosure requirements without detailing the ultimate recipients, who might be Trump's family.
Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson and his wife, Miriam, recently donated $75 million to Preserve America, a new pro-Trump super political action committee that is not controlled by Trump World political operatives. One of the reasons the group was founded in August is because there is deep distrust among some GOP donors that the existing pro-Trump organizations would spend the money wisely. The Trump family may be stealing the campaign funds.
Dan Eberhart, who has given over $190,000 to Trump’s election efforts, said many Republican donors are now focused on keeping control of the Senate in GOP hands — not Trump’s chances of winning.
“The Senate majority is the most important objective right now,” he said. “It’s the bulwark against so much bad policy that the Democrats want to do if they sweep the elections.”

The people posting along those hate-filled lines sounded like uneducated boobs.
^ sounds like an uneducated lying boob.
Really Sigs, you sound like a complete idiot. I hope you're ok. Seriously. This covid stuff can be brutal on the psyche.
It's almost over G. Two weeks left thank the gods. One thing is for sure. Sig kiki Jack and some others like rappy, can no longer complain about anything any more. They gave Trump such a pass they have lost all credibility.
Mind you they'll still try, but all they'll get from me is remember Trump? Fake news is what I'll say.

Stupid people don't know they're stupid, and they certainly don't realize how obvious it is to others.

You've got four years and two weeks left, dummy.
That's not including the last couple of months that Trump will still be president after the 2024 election takes place.
