I think we are going to be treated to the very nasty side of djt during this election.

I have felt one of the issues with decisions being made by MAGA folks is that they're not well informed. I believe that when the American people are well informed, they'll make the right decision every time or darn close to that.

I have felt part of the problem was GOP propaganda, FOX propaganda, etc. But a part was folks don't take Sunday off so much any more. They seem to have less leisure time to get plugged into the issues - working 2-3 jobs to get by and trying to entertain themselves 24/7. We no longer have a centralized honest news broker like Walter Cronkite.

Whether we like it or not, we're going to be at home a lot more in the next few weeks.

I wonder if more folks are not going to have the chance to get more acquainted with the facts surrounding Donald Trump. I'm under no illusion that we'll convince a majority of them - there seem to be many of them beyond reach. But a smaller percentage are going to have some time on their hands for a change to dig into and digest what has really been going on. I'm sure Trump and the GOP would prefer otherwise.

On top of Trump's mishandling of the virus - where folks are going to be pointing fingers while burying their dead, this could be part of the momentum shift that Trump and the GOP are going to face in November.
