It is based on no facts. My theory is that trumpie really believes he is going to lose. Like my theory, trumpie's beliefs are of course based on no facts. That is, he doesn't believe bad polls. He doesn't believe his advisors. He bases his beliefs, and this one, on Signs, Omens.
Now this is fact: he spent three and a half years running against PoJo, and then he got Kamala. It messed with his head. Doesn't know what to make of her or what to do with her. He just knows he's afraid of her.
We've seen and heard nine years of this deranged motherfucker and to me, he looks and sounds down now, demoralized, "low energy". He's old, he is degrading mentally and physically. He's going through the motions. I don't think he has it in him to run hard.
Signs: crowd size. There is nothing more important to him than crowd size. He tried denying that Kamala's crowds were bigger but the photos, and the videos, and the TV, and and and...He can't convince himself anymore that his crowds are bigger. He doesn't even argue it anymore. He knows.
Signs. Maybe cash is an even bigger deal to him. He knows he is getting drowned in green.
Omens: The Biden debate, June 27. Home free!
Omens: The ear-piercing procedure, July 13. The high water mark. Couldn't get higher, higher than a kite. The most defiant, heroic reaction I have ever seen to a failed murder attempt. "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" Cover of Time. One of the iconic photos in history. No less an authority than I pronounced the presidential race over.
Omens: The RNC, July 15-18. An anointment of the Chosen One. Literally heaven-sent to his low-lifes. Still HIGHER!
Confident as he was, and had every right to be, there were still three and a half months to go.
Omens: The Big One. Biden dropped out. July 21. He did not see it coming. Has not recovered, either in his mind or in political reality. He still can hardly believe it.
Omens: the Kamala debate. He knows he cleaned Joey's clock and he knows Kamala cleaned his clock. He went into the spin room personally after the debate with Kamala! He was panicked. He had never been beaten that badly. He knew it immediately, he knows it now.
Signs: "NO MORE DEBATES!" That is a sign that he knows he got mauled in the first, knows that he can't win, and doesn't want to go to the trouble of debating again. He has come to terms with political defeat. The date in November that he's focused on now? Not November 5, November 26, the date of his sentencing in Manhattan. He is looking past the election entirely to his sentencing.
Signs: For a month or so he hasn't listened to his aides. He got a replacement. The modern Rasputin, Laura Loomer
Signs: "eating cats and dogs"..."and geese" mebbe...in Springfield, no, Dayton...mebbe.
Signs: "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT".
Those two things, both Loomer-pushed imo, caused Normals across the country to turn off their TVs and bypass the political news in the newspapers.
It's over and he knows it.
