Trump tries to reset his campaign after brutal month

8.24.24
Donald Trump is finally recognizing he’s at risk of losing the election unless he makes some changes. Privately, Trump has suggested he understands that he could lose in November if he does not dramatically change his approach to the race, according to a person with knowledge of his thinking who was granted anonymity to discuss the situation. Trump’s prospects of reclaiming the White House are nowhere near as bright as they were just over a month ago, when he and Republicans were celebrating at their convention in Milwaukee. After surviving an assassination attempt days earlier — and as an unpopular Biden said he was remaining in the race — many in the GOP believed a Trump win was inevitable. Weeks later, after a month of Harris’ glistening poll numbers and positive news coverage of her candidacy, Trump and his team are fretting. His allies have been blanketing the airwaves calling for him to stop his obsession over crowd sizes and personal attacks on Harris and focus instead on policy and the vice president’s record.

This week, Trump announced he would not enforce the Comstock Act to ban mail delivery of abortion pills, something he had previously declined to specify. On Friday, he wrote on his Truth Social website that his administration “will be great for women and their reproductive rights,” using a term that is popular with abortion rights activists, in an apparent effort to appeal to moderate voters, even though it was immediately panned by anti-abortion leaders.

We all know that no one lies more than DonOld Trump. He'll say anything to get elected again.

Ladies - Trump and the Republicans have promised to work for:

(1) a national abortion ban, and criminalize abortion for any reason
(2) a ban of the Mifepristone "morning after" abortion pill
(3) ban all female methods of contraception
(4) a ban of In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

didn’t he already try to do that once since Harris came into the scene?

Also, at this point, I would be surprised if he has any credibility with women on the abortion topic. On top of that, he is going to piss off the anti-abortion crowd.

Can Donald Trump not be himself is the question. I doubt it very much.

He needs a personality transplant. It’s not gonna happen.

Donald realizes, the uglier he gets in his attacks, the more his minions will gobble it up, so NO, he won't change his tactics (except to get even uglier).

His supporters are more vile than he is.

The bad thing for Trump is that the Dems now have a mild insult for him and Vance that makes him nuts

He seems to hate being referred to as being weird

 

[BitterPill]

With Kennedy joining Trump's campaign, I expect Trump to be more disciplined and less weird.

No more talk of Hannibal Lector or sharks.

MAGA.

Well, if the shoe fits, but what is even weirder, after YEARS of Righties on debate forums calling Kamala every vile name they could think of, now are acting like whiny babies because the Dems call them "weird."

This is the core problem. We do have precedent for a more disciplined Trump, and that was more evident when he was running against Biden. The thing is back then he also had some more confidence in his position because he gained momentum after the debate. Trump seems to crumble when he feels he's not on top, and then he becomes undisciplined and lashes out in really petty ways, which in and of itself proves out he doesn't have the character for the highest office in the land.

He'd better stop the rallies then. What else is he going to say at them? He needs just prepared, sane statements, and stick to them from here on out, and I still think it's over for him.

Prosecutorial discretion is okay again.

Trump did well at the debate but a lot of that was how bad Biden did. Since then, Trump has been off coherency and off the rails.

What does Kennedy have to do with anything? He was irrelevant before endorsing Trump and is irrelevant now. The MAGA marketing blitz for RFK is crazy right now, and its clear they are trying to do damage control with all the republican speakers that spoke against Trump and MAGA at the DNC convention. This is the same RFK who reached out to Harris before reaching out to Trump....Trump just getting sloppy seconds because Harris dont need him, hes weird too.....

See, I don't see how you can claim Trump did well....Because from what I saw he didnt really answer the questions nor talk policy....He just looked a little bit less old.

The Kennedy “endorsement” was additional weirdness added to weirdness.

Kennedy: I’m suspending, NOT withdrawing, my campaign and endorsing Trump, but please feel free to vote for me and if I get enough votes no one will reach 271 and The House will decide and if I am selected I will serve and be your President.

Yeah, that’s not weird.

He didn’t actually withdrawal. It was a non-withdrawal withdrawal. {lol}

See above.

I’m counting on Trump being Trump. Hopefully enough of a Trump being Trump will let his followers finally figure out just how unethical a character he is.

 

[Flaming Capitalist]

Donald realizes, the uglier he gets in his attacks, the more his minions will gobble it up, so NO, he won't change his tactics (except to get even uglier).

But he needs more than his MAGA Minions to win the election. He needs the Moderates and Independents (me) and he's not going to get them with his current strategy.

What's the over/under on MAGAts using the "c" word and "n" word out in the open now?

 

[Slartibartfast]

To withdraw but not withdraw. That’s like how he seems to treat women.

Trump's problems are that he's far too stupid to execute on a carefully crafted strategy, he speaks from a teleprompter like a 5 year old with dyslexia and this opponents are both more charismatic and focused.

He thinks he can catch Kamala but she ain't standing still waiting for him to catch up.

Trump is not a smart man. He will lose this election too. Just like all his Republican buddies said he would. The RNC deserves everything they get. And they'll blame it on everyone but Trump. Can we vote now?
