He ran him off for it eventually. He knew about this long ago but decided to do nothing , he lied claiming this snucked up on him or anyone, which is a blatant lie , they all knew, just like they all lie.

I believe that it will work with the people who will matter in November. Don't underestimate the power of the Big Lie.

Unless there are some pretenders on this forum, everyone here will vote against Trump no matter who runs on the other ticket. Of course we are not influenced by the daily dose of propaganda. Our Bullshit meters are working well. That does not necessarily hold true with the population at large. Trump is getting free TV ads time every day, he is surrounded by leaned men who are deferential to him. When he brags about what a great job he has done it has an effect, for the same reason that Madison Avenue has an effect on your buying habits when they bombard you with shampoo commercials. It is proven to work. Exposure matters far more than truth.

That is why Joe Biden needs to be screaming every day about the mismanagement and lies. If the Big Lie takes hold, there will be no reversing it in the Fall. Notice that you have to look with a magnifying glass for any mention of Biden or Sanders in the news, they are completely off the radar at a critical time in the campaign. Biden needs to get down in the gutters and fight Trump like hell, he can't wait for the convention that might not happen. He needs to get in the fucking game, and on the TV today!.

The Trump criminal gang are monopolizing the news cycle, and that is why his approval ratings are creeping up. Even if you are skeptical of the recent poll, watch over the next few days and see how his approval rating goes. If I am wrong, flog me with it and I will accept it with pertinence and humility.
