    Donald Trump might have just delivered a fatal blow to his reelection campaign

    Seems like wishful thinking. Trump says a hundred reprehensible things that should “deliver a fatal blow to his relection campaign” every day before breakfast. It’s not like massive numbers of his base quit supporting him over “fine people on both sides” or “stand back and stand by” or “you won’t have to vote any more.”

      I’m pretty sure the only thing that would get his base to quit him is if he pulled off a facemask to show he was Hilary Clinton AND Barack Obama in a fat suit.

        Unironically, if he would actually show human emotions and ask for forgiveness in front of the world for his horrible behaviour all his life, tears streaming down his face, they would immediately turn against him.

          Most of them are, this one has been left out in the sun too long though, it’s gone that weird shade of decaying rubber orange

        Nah, if he agreed with one point the Democrats do, they’ll drop him like bud light with a rainbow on it.

          Counter-example: we’ve seen him advocate for getting vaccinated.

              He also said he supports abortion in rape and incest cases. Both of which he’s probably paid for.

              You said they’d drop him. They didn’t.

                    Covid was four years ago, when he was president. A lot has changed in four years, his cult as gotten much more radical. To be honest, I’m surprised you don’t see that.

                    It’s not tomorrow

                    In all seriousness, we are at a make or break, this is his last chance, and he is freaking the fuck out now that his master plan dropped out. I feel it would be more likely for them to turn now

      If “grab ‘em by the pussy” and the constant word salad doesn’t tank him, I’m pretty sure nothing he’d say would.

        Yeah I think the whole “grab 'em by the pussy” farce was the first proof that Trump can literally get away with anything. Remember when he claimed he could shoot someone on Manhattan square and not lose any voters? I don’t think he was lying, for once.

      They’ll explain it away (poorly) and then ignore it. If anyone brings it up they’ll just say “Fake news” and repeat the terrible explanation for it

      I agree, If the fact that he was on Epstein’s Island dozens of times and multiple court cases that proved he’s a rapist didn’t doom him, this won’t either.

      I remember hearing this headline ad nauseam during the last 2 elections and every single one of his many “fatal blows” barely moved the needle. His base does not give a single shit what he does. They’ll either embrace it, deny it, or ignore it, but it will never affect their opinion of him.

      At this point he could spend an entire debate screaming racial slurs and defecating on the podium and not lose any voters.
