Understanding Trump’s Campaign Strategies

Love the illustration here.

I wish I knew what’s motivating the president’s behavior at this point.  OK, his core base is largely racist, and yes, they’re energized by hate speech, augmented, as it is, with the lies that comes with it.  But you have their vote wrapped up.  Aren’t you going to need at least a few votes from other demographics?  How about semi-educated conservatives who have taken the bait about socialism and think that Joe Biden and Fidel Castro have the same political philosophies?

Maybe it’s too late for such a strategy, and you just need to ride this horse until it collapses, and you lose the popular election by 10 – 15 million votes.  Fine with me, btw.

Or perhaps this is more accurate: you’re simply incapable of things like telling the truth and expressing compassion for others.  That seems far more likely, doesn’t it?  You could no more behave like a decent person than a lion can be trained to become an herbivore.

This can’t end soon enough.
