I think trumpers point to the enthusiasm gap...that trumpers are much more enthusastic than Bidenators.
And that's true, a real fact, as far as I can tell.
But really Trumpers are so devoid of empathy that they cannot understand why anyone would vote for a democrat ever. It's their achilles heel.
Agree 100% that tzees are way more enthusiastic, makes perfect sense. They have a huge disadvantage in numbers though that just cannot be overcome unless Dems decide they don't just care about their country anymore. Even with GOP having rigged district boundaries and suppressed liberal votes, trump is going to need some very powerful miracles from Putin and his corrupt circle to compete. I'm not saying it can't be close given the ridiculous electoral college setup, but I just don't see the numbers working in his favor.

His biggest mistake, which won't matter to those who are "followers", has been not addressing the issue nationally. He simply looks un Presidential. Even if he had given a 5 minute national address in a half hearted "we all need to come together" with his typical I don't really mean this delivery, he would look a lot better. The last two Presidents have delivered messages within days of the uprising while Trump was hiding. It's a message that even the dimwit Dems can use against him.
I think you're being too kind. It's really a colossal miss by trump, both on CV and this civil unrest. He had to really try hard to drop the ball this much. A crisis like CV was the perfect opportunity to boost his approval ratings. Like with war, the country just needed to hear some plan from a confident leader, even if it's just a bunch of lies. His approval rating should have seen a natural 30% boost, a real layup was handed to him. Colossal failure but certainly he can do even worse.
He for sure can do worse, and that will be evidenced only by another bad situation that requires strong leadership. Let's be clear here, Trump didn't make a mistake on COVID-19 or this current civil unrest. A mistake means he had the option of doing one thing or another and chose the wrong one. That is not what he did. He is simply incapable of responding appropriately to a major crisis. He lacks empathy. He lacks leadership skills. He is incapable of providing comfort to a nation.

For those who think on a superficial level (aka any Trumper), all of these are easy to spin with minimal propaganda. That is the crux of the issue. Trump's message is very easy to understand, rides far on the backs of disinformation, and far more difficult to refute than to deliver.
How does he replicate his narrow win against someone as liked as Biden after only being president to less than half the country since taking office? There are just too many fired up americans who cannot stand this guy and you think Dems will just stay home???
He can not and will not replicate that victory over Hillary Clinton. She was hated. Americans are not ready for a woman President now and were not 4 years ago. Trump has failed and even failed a lot who voted for him. People hate Trump with a passion. Biden is vanilla ice cream, and most people want that now. Biden wins easily if he is breathing.

If you're a medical student, you need to keep being a student for a little while yet. Trump is a 73-year-old man. New guidelines for a target blood pressure for men over 60 are now at 150/90, and while I think that's a bit high, the old guideline was 140/90. If you flubbed a 121/79 reading for a 73-year-old obese man with heart disease, that would not be what you should write down. If you knowingly wrote down a wrong blood pressure reading, that makes you a bad medical student or doctor. Retake the blood pressure if you didn't get it the first time, grasshopper.

He's undoubtly taking blood pressure medication, so 121/79 is possible.

Here's some voter fraud for you. Some guy from Washington DC tried to register to vote in Florida, using his DC address. Said his legal residence was DC, but also claimed he was a bona fide resident of Florida.
Why can't the government do something about this?

Mattis for the win!

To be clear, I would never flub a reading for an actual patient, I meant (jokingly) when practicing during mock patient encounters. I thought it was suspicious that both numbers were one unit off the "normal" 120/80.

I'm really curious to see if fox news carries this.
Mattis: " We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. "
I think we can all agree that Biden passes the maturity test!

He might be, but Mr. medical student's attitude was wrong.
