1. Maybe not so much the way he's been going. He can't answer a tough question even if he knows the answer.

If the truth makes him look bad, he whines and snivels about being treated badly.

He's limited by what he can't say that will piss off his base.

He might not even be capable of speaking coherently about any real issues at this point. He doesn't really have anyone on his campaign working on any of that. It was all going to be Hairitage's deal.

2. Well said and you're right!

Can you imagine him attacking his perceived enemies and going on about Hannibal Lecter on a news show that "fact checks" like 60 Minutes?? Not to mention all he makes up which not only makes no sense, but his harmful to Americans. He wouldn't last there for 5 minutes!

3. Who wants to listen to that demented psycho? He can't utter a coherent sentence.

[Rhiannon12866]

4. And those who allegedly "support" him are walking out of his deranged "rallies..."

5. how about the corporate media starts reporting

on why TCFSF won't make the rounds?

BECAUSE HE CANNOT ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. he's demented and decompensating. his mind does not work.

6. One more reason to suspect his keepers plan to only use him to further their anti-American agenda

[barbtries]

7. for sure.

it is clear that he cannot perform the duties of a president. FFS

he'll take over the parts he cares about: punishing his enemies. his puppeteers will take over the rest. it's unthinkable.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. And yet we keep hearing that this election is "close!" WTF?!

[barbtries]

9. I think it's not that close.

but fear that it's close enough to initiate a terrible time.

I think it was Robert Reich who said he was in a state of optimistic nausea. that's me, very optimistic yet somehow terrified.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Good Grief, same here!

We need not only to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, but purge Congress of TFG's enablers and co-conspirators.

11. Trump does not intend to win by getting the votes.

His plan this year is the same as in 2020. He intends to sow confusion about the outcome and rely on his allies in state and federal government to seal the outcome for him, with intimidation backing from his thugs.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Exactly - he will never accept defeat and no matter how badly he loses, he'll convince his supporters of the opposite

Just like he did in 2020. And he'll initiate constant legal challenges even though that's not how the system works.

[wnylib]

13. And that is why he is not campaigning like a usual candidate would

in an effort to expand his base and get more votes. His attitude is that he does not need more votes. He only needs the right people to fix the election for him.

As with every thing else in his life, Trump does not believe in doing the work of achieving something. His first and only go to tactic is to project an image of accomplishing something and then grab the thing by force if necessary, whether it's a political office or the money from his frauds, in any way possible, whether legal or not.

But it's also true that his financial backers do not want him to be too exposed to media because they do not want people to see how deteriorated and incoherent he is.

[Rhiannon12866]

14. Completely agree, especially on your last point.

Those he claims not to know, the authors of Project 2025 (Including JD Vance who wrote the forward) only need this incompetent in office in order to accomplish their aims. If he can convince enough people that he actually "won," he's done his "job" and they'll move forward with the rest.

[wnylib]

15. Very true. And if they did get into office, Trump would be of no further use to them

so Vance would take his place within a few weeks or months.
