There's only a handful of people in the world trump could beat in an election...
And he never imagined Biden would actually get out of the way, so he has no idea what to do now that it's not Biden.
I am absolutely convinced that Trump's entire election strategy was to just coast to victory on "Biden old" and "I got shot". By the time of the republican convention he was confident that he had it in the bag and didn't need to keep trying, so when Biden dropped out it completely shattered his plan and he's got nothing to replace it. He does not have the cognitive ability to pivot against Harris/Walz and his ego is way too big to actually listen to his campaign strategists (if he even has any that aren't just yes men).
* this should not be interpreted as complacency. It is definitely not a sure thing that Harris will win
Harris isn't a guaranteed win, but she'd have to royally fuck up to blow this election.
trump just isn't as popular as he used to be. The last two elections there was trump shit all over my red state. I haven't seen a single trump bumpper sticker. Not even old ones from prior elections.
That shit is still everywhere where I am. Vote as if he's a popular as he ever was, because in some areas he sure seems to be.
