We get incompetents like Trump and W when few people go to the polls. According to wikipedia, only 55.5% of the electorate showed up in 2016. Not all of them were suppressed.

Voter apathy is why we suffered W and Trump. Its also why those two won their primaries over better and more qualified choices.

Just like they telegraphed their their plans to suppress voting through the postal service which has now resulted in unprecedented levels of awareness from people when it comes to how they plan to vote. They’re bad at this.

If you ever work with or around incompetent people, one thing is really clear. Incompetents aren't aware of how incompetent they are.

But if he keeps getting hit by new revelations from the left, whatever plans he has will probably be ineffective.

He hasn't done it yet, so this would be the greatest surprise of all.

B/t/w, Trump sounded COMPLETELY on top things from what I heard on the Woodward tapes. HE IS NOT AS STUPID AS HE LET'S ON. THIS IS, TO A LARGE DEGREE, INTENTIONAL.

Please let us never forget it.

But thanks to almost no one trusting him including some of his supporters I read very few people will take it. I would rather wait for Joe's trusted scientists.

So now what can he do? Start a war? At this point i think more military would vote Joe.

All he has left is lie and cheat. He might try to do a big Rovian type lie about Joe but if its about women everyone will know its him that does that...

So really all he can do is talk republicans into giving us all another $1200 mid October.

of President Obama's people on some trumped-up charge relating to the Russia investigation. Barr has been quietly stoking this fire for months now with his pet US attorney and loudmouth Mark Meadows let slip the other day that he had seen some of the 'evidence' and that it 'wasn't good for Obama'. It'll be a Grade A shit storm, designed to distract the press, fire up his base and depress our turnout.
