If election was held today Trump would lose badly. But lots of strange things can happen in 6 months. Biden would do better with a “run out the clock” strategy.

National polls mean nothing. Yes, he will lose the popular vote. But he has about 220 electoral college votes from unswerving red states. He only needs 270 EV votes to win.

the trumpists have a shrewd strategy, Let all the hubbub be about polls. but He will capture Wisconsin,Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, probably Florida, ---while you are distracted.

His strategy is winning so far.

That said, they will be throwing a shit load of money at demonising Biden, but that may be wasted currently as the US approaches 100,000 deaths.

Biden has led in every poll out of Michigan, Pa, just about all in WI, AZ, and many out of Florida.

Lock him up.

... he couldn't find anything to charge Hillary with.

So he told him to cover up the Flynn crimes and he did?

Another criminal tantrum by the lawless toddler-in-chief??

Humans can’t run out the clock, the clock runs out on them.
Trump’s strategy Is based on him controlling time.
This isn’t a basketball game with five opponents, this is real life with a sampling size of over 8 billion.
“Generals are always fighting the battles of the previous war”.
Democratic strategists should *hope and pray* the Trump campaign would be so stupid.
And from the looks of things, his followers are praying for a “Trump’s Last Stand” confrontation.
History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes.
