I explained already, he is being given being talking points as I’ve outlined over a year ago. This is not some big surprise. None of his advisers are telling him to go out there and say black jobs that’s all him confusing his prep. He’s doing his normal Trump shtick trying to find catch words that work. No 4D chess involved. ---

Well of course, they were not expecting that Biden would actually give up the nomination, so right now of course they are following the old playbook. The numbers right now say it could still work, that it’s still going to come down to a few votes in the swing states they expected. ---

Fuck, the fact that the Trump campaign is following an outline that I, some random fuck on some dying message board, walked though years ago, proves my claims. It’s totally obvious to everyone what he is trying to do, except here. ---

Stay abreast — those numbers are changing rapidly. Harris has a lot more slack in the line than Biden did.

Even I had to admit that her numbers were impressive, but remember she needs to up at least +5 in national polls to offset the Republican’s electoral college advantage. I don’t think she is there yet. ---

What I notice is that it could still work, but it is more likely to work if the ones that could reach those who are being misguided do not bother to tell them to stop falling for that tactic. **You know what to do.** ---

No we are not there. You are claiming I’m a troll that is just making things up. You are totally denying that I had some insight as to what may happen and in fact has happened. The Trump campaign is trying to take the exact tract I spoke of over a year ago in the Should Biden Pick a new VP thread that I was also banned from. How do you explain that? ---

I’m trying, but the youngest black people I know are my three nieces and some of their circle. So all late 20’s to early 30’s. Thier male friends could totally vote for Trump with no problem judging from talking to them. ---

The national polls have not changed that much, most pundits I see say that she has broght it back to a tie. So, I guess she was able to stop the downward trend. But basically, it’s back to where it was before the debate disaster. We need to see Harris up +5 in the national polls and you know this. If we don’t see her up at least 5 points, then it’s going to be a slog and a few thousand votes here and there in the swing states will determine the election. The Trump campaign is going after those votes. ---

Nonsense, TFG is playing 5D chess. He’s just making doubly sure he loses the election so he can claim of election was rigged. Oh, wait that doesn’t make sense, he’s been claiming election fraud in every election he’s been in before the voting even started. Even the 2016 election he won. Well, it at least makes as much sense as anything @split_p_j has been saying.
