This feels like it could be the secret sauce to the debates. Trump isn't just going to make jokes that don't land because no one's in the crowd, he's going to be visibly frustrated or bored at having no crowd to play to.
When people look back on this time, a lot of people are going to get fucking dragged.
My conscience is fucking clear. I voted for Hillary and AOC and I knew Trump was going to be an unmitigated disaster. He's exceeded my expectations by a lot.

The reason Biden could do the "can you believe this friggin' guy" happy warrior act was because Ryan wasn't an incumbant who had 4 years to put his plans into practice. Trump may be a joke, but he's a joke whose pathologies and incompetence has cost countless lives and the point-and-laugh approach just wouldn't feel right for the moment. I expect him to be more solemn this time around, to match the current situation better.
Trump will feel cornered when there's just two people in the room with him, one who openly disdains him and one who'll probably secretly disdain him. Without groupies to play off of, he'll get cranky and start sulking. There won't be another debate afterwards.
If this nightmare ends in January, I think that Trump will be remembered as what he was: an incompetent, unqualified racist propelled into office by the racist backlash against eight years of a black president. Half of this country spent 2008-2016 losing its fucking mind at Obama's very existence.
Ras as partisan as shit. Their numbers won't reflect reality until they massage them close to the mean in the last few polls before the election so they don't look as shit as they really are.
I've been thinking about one thing.
Trump and Covid are intrinsically linked now. People want to move on from both.
The reality show trick of bringing in a bunch of washed-up C-listers and rebranding your tired, sagging program as a "celebrity" version of itself doesn't work in real life, so he's all out of options.
Succinct.
Some older relative of mine hates Obama, I'm sure they voted for Trump but can't bring themselves to defend him, anyway a typical conversation re Obama is:
"Obama ruined everything."
"Like what?"
"Everything was worse."
"Such as, specifically?"
<crickets>
Does the change in reporting affect local reports? Are my city reports not going to updated in the same manner?
I'm sure he greatly enjoyed snorting all that Adderal before his speech yesterday.
EDIT: What the fuck is point with all this bean shilling? The Trumps have to be taking bribes form this company now, right? Are they doing product placement now?
This is why you don't ask 2 opposite questions at once:
Good how? On Friday, he commuted his accomplice and fellow co-conspirator. And then yesterday he spend an inordinate amount of time rambling incoherently about China and Biden in the Rose Garden.
I'm not sure it's even gone that far. Trump is so desperate for any kind of approval that he's probably just basking in the support.
COVID was probably the best thing to ever happen to Trump ... for his ego.
He was going to lose the election anyway, now he (and his supporters) can simply scream - for the remainder of his life - that the China virus caused him to lose, something no one could see coming, after building the best economy in the nation's history.

Felt like there is a sizable contingent of people that are just looking for any reason to vote for Trump again. The bar is so low that it will just be something akin to "He didn't shit himself visibly" and it will satisfy whatever remaining conscience they possessed.
It could and it's terrible that people keeping having their voices minimized and erased all over the american south by tactics like this
No doubt they will say that, but there are plenty of examples of leaders who've become more popular due to their management (or even mismanagement — hello Boris) of COVID. it will be hard to escape the reality that him botching the response is what doomed him.
Hypothetically, if Congressional Republicans were actually doing their jobs, what would be the consequences for the various Trumps violating the Hatch Act to shill Goya? Just a fine?
I assume that many of these people either are Republicans or leaners, or they are mostly apolitical people that likes the personality of Trump and don't care for policy.

Eh, you have to recognize the type of never-his-fault, Cartman-esque narcissist that Trump is. No matter the circumstances, he's never going to face the reality. If there wasn't a pandemic, it would be something else. He was already starting to lay the ground work for cries of a rigged election.
Now we are gonna have to fight this jackass for progress if Dems win control of the Senate. Hope AOC primaries him
How does the Senate choose its leader? Vote, or is it a seniority thing? Maybe Chuck doesn't get to be leader...
In a world where the Justice Department was actually enforcing the Hatch Act, convictions for violating it can bring either up to a year in jail and/or a fine of up to $1000.
Now, let's ask the other senator from KY, who isn't up for re-election, what he thinks. Rand Paul: "MASKS ARE BAD! FREEDOM!"
Back to you, Al.
If you average those wonky Q and Ras polls it comes out to Biden +9. So basically where he's been for the last month.
This is the case in any presidential election and why a ten point win is considered a landslide.
It's 100% guaranteed and I'm going to frame that shit on my wall.
Regardless of your feelings toward Schumer, it's impossible to take anything David Sirota says seriously.
Absolutely. That'll proudly hang on the wall in the living room at my house. I don't want to take anything for granted, but I think most of the country knows the only way we move past this terrifying, exhausting, disease ridden fuckpile of a year is to get rid of him.

Rasmussen really showing their Rass today in comparison to this one.
I'm telling you guys..we truly do not know how bad it can get for Trump. One, the overall situation is going to continue to deteriorate in the next 4-6 months- sports and schools getting cancelled, new lockdowns, and a rising death toll. Two, we literally have no idea what happens with a candidate actively does the opposite of what he needs to do to tighten the race.
Biden +14-15 is possible.
