Actually, although lacking a formal ā€œplanā€, he did a calculus that succeeded. He merely calculated there were sufficient numbers of poorly educated, racist, xenophobic, misogynist, anti-intellectual conspiracy freaks in the electorate to get him across the finish line.

What was their first clue? Not too quick on the uptake, are they?

Trump promised Putin money (in the form of sanctions relief) in exchange for a happy ending. Both parties kept up their end of the bargain.

I’m more worried about him winning a second term at all than whether or not he has a plan or discipline or experienced campaign manager.

Trump has a 6 part plan:

  1. Rallies
  2. Russian help
  3. Free media from our MSM
  4. Free attacks on Dem opponents through our MSM.
  5. Racists
  6. Illegal foreign donations

You don’t need a lot of money or even a campaign strategy when you have all of that.

That said, I think he’ll lose the election in a range of 4 to 10 points depending on the Democratic ticket. The election is a referendum on the incumbent and most will say that they can’t afford the craziness of Trump. His volume and share of the WWC vote will drop because, to quote a Trump voter from FL during the shutdown, ā€˜he’s not hurting the people he’s supposed to be hurting.’

The donors were worried because they couldn’t read the plan as it was written in Russian.

As I keep saying Parscale has not been interviewed by muelller. It might be because mueller knows the data for coordination came via the campaign chair (Manafort) via documents and Rick gates testimony, or perhaps the data they got was the Cambridge abilities date, but I have. A strong since that Parscale has not been interviewed, because he is going to be indicted. He is dirty, dirty, dirty, and frankly not as smart as he thinks he is.

He is a dead ender with hard core views, and little understanding of what moves the middle of the electorate like past successful political ā€˜brains’ like Atwater, rove, carville, or axelrod had.

Most Dems I watch comment in the media about this are at least semi-sanguine Trump is such a fuck-up and so glaringly deranged and deluded that defeating him is all but a foregone conclusion. Kinda like all the polling in 2016 indicated about the outcome of the 2016 election. Frankly I would not be at all surprised if he wins again. Democrats have refined snatching defeat from the jaws of victory to an art. That and the electorate are a bunch of drooling knuckleheads.

Yeah, yeah, ā€œBut what about the midterms?ā€, you say. Ask the Super Bowl loser how much satisfaction they are drawing from winning the conference championship before finally blowing the big game.

Do we actually know that to be an indisputable fact?

Trump and his 2016 campaign had no a
Plan either. They counted on Russian espionage to assist. It’s quite likely that’s their plan in 2020. It’s no coincidence the only campaign refusing to say they won’t use stolen information is Trump’s.

He won by dog whistles—what are the left’s dog whistles?

Dozens of people inside and outside the Trump administration have looked a camera in the eye and said ā€œIf someone comes to us offering damaging information about our opponent we’d be stupid not to listen to them.ā€
Implicit in their reply to the interviewer is the source and legality of that information, and the methods used to gain it, are not their concern

They had a Russian plan.

I do not believe Trump will be on the ballot in 2020.

I wish Republican donors didn’t hate America so much. Then they’d stop being Republican donors.

Since Manafort is the one behind Pence’s VP appointment, I would guess Putin is in the picture somehow.

None of them are fretting that he is a traitor to his country and doing the bidding of our long-time enemy Russia though.
You got your thrice-damned tax cuts, why are you sticking with this failed businessman?
