Happy Labor Day, and happy Official Start to the Fall Presidential Campaign. For some reason Benedict Donald held a holiday-weekend press conference today. He must still be feeling nervous about the "losers and suckers" story in The Atlantic. He should be.
Meanwhile, The Washington Post avers that the only election-outcome scenario they gamed out that didn't end in violence and/or a Constitutional crisis was a Biden landslide. So let's all work on that, please.
Funny that Brad "Weird Beard" Parscale (remember him?) used to call the Trump campaign an "unstoppable juggernaut." Not only has Brad been sent to the woodshed, right now the Trumpsters are looking like anything but. Money-wise, they're in trouble: Biden-Harris raised $365 million in August alone, and Trump-Pence has been wasting big bucks — $800 million! — on Benedict Donald's legal fees (hmmm), dumb Super Bowl ads, luxury travel (among other things) for Weird Beard, and much, much more. Even now, with Parscale's successor Bill Stepien tightening belts and going dark on TV, Trump is yammering away about competing for deep-blue states like New York. We say, let him waste the money.
Trump's Empire State pipe dream is even more absurd when you realize how other states that Weird Beard had vowed to flip are sliding way out of reach. Take New Mexico, for example: After all the Trumpy blustering about turning it red, Benedict Donald is 15 points behind Biden there now. They'll probably have to kiss not just the state goodbye but also its 2nd Congressional District, which they lost in a squeaker in 2018. Since the Electoral College is a zero-sum game, letting go of New Mexico means that the noose will be tightening around the Trumpsters elsewhere on the map.
Trump's desperation is only going to increase if Biden continues to hold a comfortable path to 270 EVs, and additional reasonable paths to more. Add in his money woes — unprecedented for an incumbent — and anything could happen. Brace yourselves! We cats PURR.
