NYT: "Why June Was Such a Terrible Month for Trump/Last month represented the political nadir of President Trump’s three and a half years in office, thanks to self-inflicted wounds as he played to his base and missteps by a fractured campaign."
Vanity Fair: "'WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO?': TRUMP DESPERATE, DESPONDENT AS NUMBERS CRATER, 'LOSER' LABEL LOOMS/'They probably won’t have' the Jacksonville convention. The Joni Ernst campaign is angry at Trump’s horrible numbers. Meadows and Kushner are at loggerheads over Parscale. And if things don’t turn around by Labor Day, GOP defections may begin."

Next they’ll be telling us there’s no way he can win and refuse to talk about him.
Landslide.

Wishful thinking? Pumping up the enthusiasm of the Democrat's base of voters? Warning that it is only July and not to relax?
The best time to kick a man, and politician, is when he's down.
They couldn't possibly be trying to cast him as a sympathetic character.
At the bottom of the VF article - "More Great Stories From Vanity Fair". Are they implying that the article I just read was "great"? And they accuse Trump of magical thinking.
I feel worst for Drago. It's over.
The lying, fakery and propaganda are so thick.
I do my best to ignore and go about my day.
It's as if they operating on pure emotion and can't help themselves. MUST. SAY. ORANGEMAN. BAD. EVEY DAY. EVERY WAY.
The defections aren't happening ... yet.
It sure looks like everyone is eyeing the lifeboats already.
The Fake News MSM coastal elite libtards are odviously falling for Trumps 3-D Rope-a-Dope Judo.
“Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.”
It's over. He's going down in flames. It is well deserved.
That's how bad they are at their "job". The harder they try to stick it to Trump, the more they feed his reelection.
I'm impressed with how these avowed enemies of all things Trump have so many reliable sources inside of all things Trump. Lacking that, they might have to just make stuff up.
"He's going down in flames."
An ironic statement for a leftist. You mean like a Minneapolis police station?
Funny headlines, because where I live there are more and more Trump 2020 signs.
President Trump is so over. That's why the DNC/media is resorting to lies. The full court press over the "Russia, paying for dead Americans" farce. The gang of eight is so made they waited until now to order Schiff to "leak" the story. Full court press on a non-issue. We had stories in the media about Iran paying for dead US Soldiers. Remember? Obama was so mad, he shipped a PALLET of Currency to Iran and told them to knock it off. But thats different because shutup.
Democrats are terrified. Even the phony polls dont help.
-The New York Times is fake news.
-The Trump campaign is in disarray.
-Trump wins re-election.
All of these things can be true, and probably are.
Rasmussen had Trump floating down to 40% approval a couple weeks ago. He's now back up to 46%. The full-court press still hasn't worked.
Joe must be doing worse than they thought.
When did ARM become editor of Vanity Fair?
Gap in U.S. Black and white unemployment rates is widest in 5 years
Better than Lincoln.
Gabriel Sherman, again, Mike Woolf's bobsy twin,
Trump is going to win in a landslide. Because Joe Biden has dementia, and it has become obvious to one and all, Joe will not complete the campaign season. Or maybe he will be carried over the finish line in November, empty husk of a man though he is.
Trump can even win New York if he aggressively attacks Cuomo and de Blasio on their coronavirus mistakes, from forcing infectious persons into elder care facilities, to letting homeless sleep on subways overnight.
Trump wins in a landslide.
An iteration of "Everybody knows that ________ is true."
The current nostrum is "All the cool kids hate Trump."
I didn't vote for the guy either, but geez. It was past time for us to challenge China on trade, intellectual property theft and Huawei skulduggery. Getting rid of Soleimani saved American lives and helped calm a region that has been in violent turmoil for at least two generations. Telling Germany to pay for some of its own defense was only fair, as was demanding that it match our tariffs or face an equalizing 300 percent increase seemed sensible.
I do not offer political advice and am not sure I even will vote in November, but I'm tired of emotion-based hatred being offered up as a substitute for careful thinking.
Trump is a gasbag, but his antagonists aren't necessarily as smart as they like to think they are.
They're selling the narrative that their readers want to live in. What do women want to hear, mostly.
On the reality side, what women will think has a huge effect on votes. The reality in the situation being that women are crazy, that narrative has an effect.
Such is the narrative. We know how the narrative's have worked out in the last decade.
Hey, Joe Biden slam dunk. Nailed on.
(starts shorting market)
Can everyone smell ARM's flop sweat?
He is working hard with the DNC media to tamp down enthusiasm over the inevitable Trump win.
It is obvious that they are hoping to depress contributions to the campaign.
"Joe must be doing worse than they thought."
It's impossible to miss the hysterical twinge in their narrative. They've boxed themselves and hope they can shout their way out of it. I've never seen that work.

Trump must be worried. After all, look how accurate all these detractors were during the last election cycle. President Hillary smiles smugly.
Gee, for people that are so certain of Trump losing and "the walls are closing in" they sure right a lot of furious articles 24/7. Like Perils of Pauline Trump has no chance of doing X, yet X always seems to happen anyway.
Shouldn't Vanity Fair and The Atlantic be wishcasting about what wonderful things the Biden administration will be doing in 2021? Measuring the curtains in the White house? How Joe Biden will re-event the cities etc. etc? I can remember seeing those types of articles constantly in June, July & August of 2016 but see scant evidence of that so far. Hmmm.

More like trying to will their preferred reality into being.

Trump is going to win because the Left still doesn't understand why he won in 2016; a lot of people in this country felt they'd be safer with Trump in office than they would be with a Hillary! presidency.
For a guy who's cratering, it's amazing that Trump can still raise almost $1 billion in contributions.
Everyone should read Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign by Allen & Parnes. Shattered is interesting not just for what it says, but what it unwittingly points out: the media utterly failed to cover the HRC campaign. Matter of fact, had they criticized HRC's campaign, they could have perhaps nudged it back into a winning direction.
During the 2016 election, the media was obsessed with the "chaos" of the Trump campaign, but blind to the idea that dysfunction takes many forms, & that the HRC campaign was every bit as dysfunctional in its own way. For example, that Robbie Mook was allowed to grind out "the numbers" that determined the direction of the campaign in secrecy & without input from the old political hands on staff was fatal. The campaign also ignored advice from Bill Clinton, one of the best "political naturals" of our lifetime, mostly out of pique, was simply crazed. Yet, were where the WaPo & NYT wailings on the campaign's "fatal flaws". There were none. It was "Trump in chaos".
I'm sure some exact parallel is going on in the Biden campaign now, and the press is refusing to cover it. They seem to have not learned anything since 2016.
The polls are meant to drive opinion and not to reflect it.
The tears of the Leftists will provide sustenance through the long winter.
Mason jars will keep them fresh.

Well, AA, let me say, comments from "The NY Times", "The Atlantic", "Vanity Fair, "NY Magazine", etc., etc. I'm starting to wonder and ask you, does all of this reading one side of every arguement, "Orange Man Bad", does it affect your direction in life. In fact, reading your blog is entertaining but your source material is '99% Liberal Fiction'. But, I might be wrong since today and the past 90 days have been slow news times. :)
Trump doesn't have an underdog narrative and they, NYT and Vanity Fair, aren't trying to help. They are writing for their base, trying to bolster their sinking feeling that Trump will be re-elected.

The next town over where you live is New RICHMOND, allens.
All you "white" boys (and you might be Indian, but you live a white farmer life) are racists really, can we be honest?
Follow the money. As YoungHegelian said, Trump’s campaign raised nearly $1B last quarter, and we know very little of that is coming from woke big corporations. It takes a LOT of small donations to reach $1B.
The panic is palpable. Since I won’t ever click over to read either of those links, can someone tell me if there are any named, on the record sources in either one? I‘m guessing there aren’t. This isn’t “news” or even “commentary,” it’s fiction.
Well, that's what'll happen when your foot soldiers burn down their community.
The last month has set blacks back 50 years and I am serious. I don't care what Crack thinks. Blacks have been parodied for years as laughing and smiling as they sink deeper into hell.
This attempt at revolution, which has just about run its course, was an unmitigated disaster for them. Does anyone care much about all the young blacks shot by other blacks any more ? I watched a video of a white couple who returned to their business and found signs plastered on the door. They removed them and then were attacked by some young black "activist." I can't find the link now but it is the sort of thing that will reverberate as more examples turn up.

I'd give, I really would, but in the depths of my despair I sent McCain-Palin a trifling sum in late 2008. To this day I get mailings, texts and emails that show that my info has been bought and sold however many times and probably generated more revenue, and cost, than the original gift.
Plus now (one realizes) one is on a list and will HR see it? If I could put some bread in a jar that would be one thing, but why mark oneself?
