Peeling off votes a few at a time, thanks for your help General McChrystal.

More, please…

In my area, two consistently Republican newspapers have both endorsed Joe Biden, as well as a host of down-ballot Democrats. Unprecedented.

Internal polling must be terrifying the GOP at all levels.

And McChrystal had been negative in tone to the Obama administration…

And only DJT thinks it is fake news.

We have a responsibility to ensure that he finds out the hard way that it isn’t in November.

Even the media is starting to readjust…

I’d be curious as to where you’re seeing the re-adjustment.

Is it just in the endorsements? Or is Biden actually getting coverage now?

Let’s not go that far… they are simply smelling blood in the water and pushing back a little on the Trump administration/ campaign surrogates.

Ok, so maybe we’ll see the full re-adjustment on 4 November… and maybe they won’t all quite be there by then.

ABC News a few days ago stated that despite his claims of being a billionaire, Trump was actually a failure as a businessman and was millions in debt.

That’s a big adjustment.

@jonney_5 and @maximus:

Right you both are…:sunglasses:

Generals are not the most impetuous people. And I am praying for more of the numbers/intel folks to start peeling off of the Chump (er Trump) Train.

Trump’s camp must be spinning in circles trying to figure out whether they should smear him and bring the “losers and suckers” commentary back up or not.

It may well come to be known that Trump, far from being a billionaire, is someone who–when assets and debts are all tallied up–has less wealth than a new graduate with his/her first job.

And “I worked for Ted Cruz” is still the most embarrassing part to have to admit.

I think they’re straddling the fence, looking at the outside and weighing their options.

The picture clearly explains why that was necessary…

Hopefully straddling a portion of the “We Build the Wall” fencing and headed for the Rio Grande.

I’ve never had a problem with women, but it’s easy enough.

Just be a kind person.
