If Trump sees the 1st time/youth vote moves of GA,TX, FL, and Iowa


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.

With savvy young ppl like David Hogg, AOC, Sara Cooper and Greta Thumberg maybe this will be the year the youth vote shows up!

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

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.

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.
