I must wonder if Trump isn't trying to lose this election by doing and say very dumb things. While all these things might seem very dumb to us, his millions of devout believers think they are the wisest words and actions imaginable. They are genuinely amused by the fires out west as those are Democratically controlled areas and essentially the enemy. California, Oregon, and Washington are getting what they deserve. The disgraced generals and military leaders are getting what they deserved as they have proven disloyal and seek only war. Trump is the only one who speaks truth and all others are lying about everything. In a sane world Biden would be up in every poll by 10 or more. As it stands he will probably win but the election results will be called into question by His Majesty and the new Democratically controlled government will be seen by them as illegitimate. They will go once again into "taking their country back" from the coloreds and communists.

I fully expect Trump to explain all the fires on TV. His main point is that Neither California, Oregon or Washington sent battalions of prisoners into the woods, with push brooms and buckets, to clean the forest floors. I case you folks didn't know Mr. Trump is a genuine expert in how to deal with forest fires and rarely missing a chance to mention the importance of sweeping the forest floors. As an aside I thought I would share this article: https://www.usnews.com/news/best-co...3/the-netherlands-is-closing-its-prisons

- Trump has never expanded his base.
- There is no Julian Assange and Wikileaks to do Putin's bidding this time.
- There is no Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, Evan McMillan this time to siphon off votes.
Trump is toast, he's one and done.

I would add that normally Johnson and McMillan took votes from Trump while Stein from Clinton. Johnson received 3.28%, Stein 1.07% and McMillan 0.54%. If normalcy and ideology is applied 3.83% from Trump, 1.07% from Clinton. Libertarians and Conservatives tend to vote Republican, Green Party, Democratic. Which would have wiped out Hillary's 2 point victory margin in the popular vote if they hadn't been on the ballot.
Then too CNN exit polls ask the question if there were no third party candidates, the election just between Trump and Clinton who would you have voted for, 19% answered Trump, 16% Clinton, 65% said they would not have voted. Just think about that. 65% of 9 million who voted third party is 5.85 million. This means those 5.85 million people went to the polls to specifically vote against both major party candidates by casting a vote for a third party candidate. That means almost 6 million people wouldn't have voted if there were only two names on the ballot. Trump and Clinton.
Which also makes my first paragraph irrelevant. which simply means Trump would have received 1.7 more votes, Clinton 1.4 a total difference of only 300,000 for Trump as the rest of the third party vote wouldn't have voted.
But third party candidates helped Hillary more than Trump in 2016.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

At the moment, there are two different perspectives on the state of the presidential election. Some journalists regard the races as “stable,” pointing to polls as evidence, and some of the latest analysis also says a “stable race continues.” Others say the race is "steady" and call former Vice President Joe Biden’s lead over Donald Trump the “steadiest” on record. This debate is of course semantics — both terms reflect the same reality. Biden currently has a lead in both the national polls and in key swing state polls. In fact, he’s had that lead all year, with his poll numbers spiking most recently in June, and he has maintained the lead since then. ... The lack of movement in the polls is bad news for Trump and his chances of winning in November. Trump is behind in the polls, and if things stay the same, Trump will lose. The longer that the presidential race goes with polling numbers holding steady, the less time Trump has to erase his deficit. - Slate.com

Former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg plans to spend at least $100 million in Florida to help elect Democrat Joe Biden, a massive late-stage infusion of cash that could reshape the presidential contest in a costly toss-up state central to President Trump’s reelection hopes. Bloomberg made the decision to focus his final election spending on Florida last week, after news reports that Trump had considered spending as much as $100 million of his own money in the final weeks of the campaign, Bloomberg’s advisers said. Presented with several options on how to make good on an earlier promise to help elect Biden, Bloomberg decided that a narrow focus on Florida was the best use of his money. ... In response to the Florida commitment, Trump attacked Bloomberg on Sunday morning, mocking his performance in the Democratic primary debates earlier this year. “I thought Mini Mike was through with Democrat politics,” Trump wrote on Twitter. In recent weeks, polls in Florida have narrowed, with the Cook Political Report recently shifting the state from “lean Democrat” to “toss up.” - WaPo.com

Steve Cortes said to Chris Wallace on today's Sunday Fox show that Fatass Trump was in a "fog of war."  The only thing foggy is Fatass' mental acuity. Fox New viewers agree: The survey of likely 1,191 likely voters found that 51% believe that Biden “has the mental soundness to serve as president.” Only 47% of likely voters told Fox News that President Trump has the “mental soundness” to be commander-in-chief. Fox News Poll 09/13/20 Fatass is one and done.

Uh...those numbers are pretty much within the margin of error.
Not much of anybody believes that either man is mentally up to the job.

Still, that's pretty sad when Trump can't win a Fox News poll!

He doesn't have to win the election to remain president...
And considering everything that has happened he shouldn't even be close an anybody's poll.
