and realized that he could lose those three along with more heavily reported swing states and realized he is looking at a humiliating defeat I predict he will fake a relapse so he can blame it on Covid.
The numbers in those states are staggering.
The Trump supporters are showing up but it is looking a lot more like Biden supporters are being under reported by 2-3%.
Trump has a hard ceiling and the higher the early vote the more disastrous for him
He has no capacity to take it like a grown up man and will manufacture any fiction to shift blame.
They are already putting together a media platform that will,among other things,fill in the void of the ailing Limbaugh.

I think another underestimated factor is dotards threats against tictok! My 2 granddaughters are too young too vote but ohhhh are they pissed about possibly losing that platform

(95,237 posts)The breakdown looming in a fortnight will make that look like a pop-gun by compare.
I do not think he would fake illness. I expect him to denounce the country as unworthy of his magnificence, and wish a pox on every house therein. With the exception of courage in military service, the cheap thug has rung every Hitlerian note available in his place and time, and I doubt he will leave this one un-struck.

(5,491 posts)I think he'll start looking for a way out. That's what he does. I don't know if he resigns after the election or just moves out of the White House and basically doesn't do anything other than start on his post-presidency.
I think he'll ultimately blame Republicans for not doing enough for him. So maybe he'll stat his own political party and tv network.
