My hot take: I think Donnie gave up. He has no strategy whatsoever against Harris. He's firmly stuck in 2016. He knows his base has been shrinking for - loosilu Sep 2, 16:16 23
- And yet the polls are still shockingly close... -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 2, 20:27
- I think his handlers realize that every time he does something, he reinforces why people hate him. So, don't do anything and people rehab him - Will Hunting Sep 2, 16:43 8

  - I mean, welcome to the patriarchy. The dinosaurs are in their death throes, and they just get crazier. - loosilu Sep 2, 16:46 3
    - Blaming the patriarchy/dinosaurs suggests Biden would be able to get away with everything Trump does and I doubt anyone here believes that. - con_carne Sep 2, 17:13 2
      - It's not just about age, it's about conservativism. -- (edited) - loosilu Sep 2, 18:19

  - He's doing what he did all his sleazy life. Using courts to buy time. At some point, that clock runs out. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 16:47

    - Well actually knowing the strategy is far above my pay grade, just that there are differences. Trump famously complains about his differences with his staff himself. This axios article lays it out better than I can -- (edited) - con_carne Sep 2, 17:01 1
      - Those are tactics, not strategy. He does his own tactics, that's old news. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 18:23
- I don’t think that means he still can’t win, of course. -- nm - Qale Sep 2, 16:24
- He wants to be President and do all the cool stuff, just none of the work to become the Pres or do really do it. -- nm - Remlik Sep 2, 16:24
- And he can vanish between now and Election Day and still get 48% of the vote and 260+ EV. -- nm - Tim Sep 2, 16:24 2
  - Can he? you sure? He lost it last time, and he's been working hard to lose supporters for 4 years. - loosilu Sep 2, 16:44 1
    - And Harris is a black woman (racists be racists, misogynists be misogynists) with some stench of Biden on her. - amanda Sep 2, 18:26
I was born by the river in a little tent. Oh, and just like the river, I've been runnin' ever since... -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 2, 16:09 1
