By that logic the Republican party is less moral than any one else, by virtue of never having experienced being moral.

Just gonna say I called it on Trump being absolutely insufferable if he survives. The man is cancer. He filmed a photo-op, while hopped up on steroids and still infectious, of removing his mask and telling Americans not to be afraid of Covid anymore. Sure if I could get flown to Walter Reed on the tax payers dime I'd be pretty fucking fearless too. Seriously, fuck him, he can't die soon enough nor painful enough. I hope he suffers a stroke so bad he gets stuck paralyzed and trapped in his own head.

Hes already starting to walk this back. I think the Dexamethasone is effecting his decision making, Either that or it was to deliberately short the market.

It literally makes zero sense, even by Trump's 'it's all about me' logic. How exactly does he plan to rush a SCOTUS pick through Congress, but say there's no time to deal with covid-19? It's literally writing the Democrat talking points for them.

I keep hearing about how people who survive Covid 19 are suffering from a mental state that's not exactly clear thinking. Think this could also be making what's left of his brain swiss cheese on top of whatever cocktail of drugs they have him hopped up on?

IDK. Could be the drugs. Could be who cares at this point? Is anyone really that shocked that Trump is making a self-defeating choice yet again?

The base is irrelevant. Both bases are frankly. At this point they've already made their choices and nothing Trump does or doesn't do will sway anyone.
It's those fickle people in the middle who can never make up their mind who are going to swing things, and Trump seems hellbent on reinforcing to them what they seem to already think.

I don't believe swing voters exist. I don't believe there is some magical and significant portion of voters who are still undecided. There is some evidence (or at least a model that predicted the midterms) for swing voters being unimportant, and as sides get increasingly polarized, the undecided voter base will shrink. But then again, the depths of human stupidity never cease to amaze me. Maybe there really is a sizable number of "undecided" voters in the swing states who could decide the election still after an entire term of trump being president, but I find it hard to believe. Link

Trump dangling a financial carrot to get people to vote for him isn't new, though. He's already doing it with the social security tax deferral, by suggesting that if he gets reelected he'll make it so that we don't have to pay this year's deferred taxes next year.
Sure, it's nice that I'm getting an extra $150 a paycheck until the end of the year, but I'll have to start paying that back January 1.
