It surely didn&#8217;t help that he <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=46453\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">lost in the ratings war<\/a><\/strong> with the Democratic convention drawing more viewers overall, and Biden drawing more viewers specifically. it also doesn&#8217;t help that Trump is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=46460\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">incapable of articulating a second term agenda<\/a><\/strong>. And on top of that, Biden just pulled in some <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2020\/09\/02\/908773287\/biden-democrats-shatter-fundraising-record-with-364-5-million-in-august\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">record breaking fund raising<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Trump has had to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=46484\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">embrace a dystopian theme of fear and loathing<\/a><\/strong>, while seeking to encourage violence among his cult followers, which <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=46434\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">he cynically believes will benefit his campaign<\/a><\/strong>. And he will use anything to deflect from his failure to manage the coronavirus pandemic and the economic recession, both of which are the result of his negligence and incompetence.<\/p>\n<p>The most prominent lines of attack that Trump has hurled at Biden have been insinuations about his mental faculties. That has never been true (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=45969\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">except for Trump himself<\/a><\/strong>), but it hasn&#8217;t stopped Trump from incessantly repeating his infantile nicknames and insults. And now that Biden has easily outperformed the low bar that Trump set for him, Trump&#8217;s entire campaign strategy is out the window. All he has left is to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=46495\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">chase after the racist, white nationalists<\/a><\/strong> that have been his most loyal base of support.<\/p>\n<p>None of this, however, will dampen Trump&#8217;s resolve to lie and cheat his way victory. He will continue to malign Biden as being stuck in his basement (which is false), or being unwilling to hold press conferences (which he did today). Ironically, it&#8217;s Trump who is stuck in a media bunker wherein <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=46367\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">he only allows Fox News bootlickers to interview him<\/a><\/strong>. But whats really sad is that he fouls those up, even as Trump-fluffers like Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham and the <em>&#8220;Curvy Couch&#8221;<\/em> potatoes of Fox and Friends struggle to throw him lifelines.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Democrats must remain determined to see this through until November 3, without any let up or over confidence. We must run like we&#8217;re behind 10 points behind. And we must not let Trump get away with any of his deceitful messaging and hate mongering. This is a marathon, not a sprint, and every day counts.<\/p>\n<p>Trump and the GOP have not yet exhausted their capacity for dishonesty and criminality. They are unlawfully exploiting federal agencies from intelligence to the census to the Postal Service and more, in order to achieve their nefarious ends. And they still have Russia on their team. So stay vigilant. Stay strong. And stay committed to winning for America.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With both party&#8217;s nominating conventions over, the 2020 presidential campaign begins in earnest.
