Then rallies RT @JustAManic2020

If he does have a rally maybe he'll tire himself out before the next debate. Media will start asking if he is still on steroids but he can lie. Not worth the public health risk. Even if Trump is better, rallies are dangerous
I agree with you. Trump rallies are super-spreader events and should be outlawed. No. Not outlawed, simply that the Covid-19 rules should be CLEARLY and forcefully enforced. Social distancing (empty seats in between) and mandatory masks.
As you see, the small crowd behind Trump
In pix of his rallies, that small crowd behind Trump will always wear masks and has a stunning mix of women (Trump rallies are 80% men) and non-white people (Trump rallies are 5% non-white)
But lets talk about those rallies. Trump WANTS the rallies. Because he is addicted to it
Trump is a narcissist (and many other things). He is ADDICTED to the LIVE audience - that adores him. (Which is why his desire of a live TV audience for the town hall is NOT what he was hoping it would be, they would NOT cheer his magachants). Trump has 4 wks left, wants rallies
So holding Trump rallies is NOT helping him win this election. But he wants to do them so he can feel that love of his maganutters.
Remember, part of his Magacrowds are paid actors. Imagine the expense of a campaign, where part is to pay for the extras to show up to cheer

#MoscowMitch McConnell started with Merrick Garland delay, and also denied over 100 Obama district court nominees. He has altered the balance of the courts in unfair manner. That needs to be corrected. Duh. It also will be. And here's the how...
First SCOTUS. As Merrick Garland & now RBG are #MoscowMitch McConnell cheating of the system, they need to be redressed. After the election, as long as Joe Biden wins AND also DEMs take the Senate, then it is really easy to fix the current unfairness. Enlarge the Supreme Court
There is ZERO legislation restricting SCOTUS to 9 Justices. Because GOP cheated, it needs to be fixed. Two bogus Justices, enlarge the court by 4 to 13. all 4 of those DEM Senate appoint liberal justices, balance flips as it was SUPPOSED to with Obama and Merrick Garland
Oh.. let's get back to the SDNY story ie resignation & pardon. So SDNY is not New York state. Their pardons don't stop NY State from prosecuting Trump for state crimes so Trump will land in prison
Trump KNOWS this. He would not resign. He'd only DROP OUT OF the ELECTION
My feeling is, IF Trump makes this kind of move, it is not resignation. It is stepping out of election (with whatever excuse including 'covid complications') - but NOT RESIGNATION. Trump doesn't want to lose. He'd prefer not to be on the ballot. Then he can blame others...
So Trump could suddenly announce 'I will not seek re-eleciton, Pence can represent the GOP from 2021 if he wins in November. GOP can nominate a Veep for Pence and I recomment Ivanka'
This move is totally Trumpish, and would be worst possible move to GOP, demoralizing GOP voters
BTW on that SDNY / Pardon story. I told you before, it is 100% certain that Trump is being asked by REPUBLICANS to step down, to resign, to hand over the Presidency to Pence. Note, these GOP know they'd still lose with Pence on top, but Trump damage would stop...
But as I said..
But as I said, only Trump knows the full extent of all of his crimes. Nobody 'sane' who comes to suggest any transition to Pence including pardons, knows what all crimes await Trump in New York State.
And that is NOT SDNY. SDNY is FEDERAL crimes, prosecuted via NY federal office
As we know, Mueller farmed out about a dozen lawsuits. They are all CRIMES (or series of crimes). Most but not necessarily all, involve Trump. We KNOW there are several STATE TAX laws including New York, Illinois, California & Florida. Pence CANNOT pardon those (and are not SDNY)
It’s time for sanity in America vote Joe Biden about an overwhelming numbers it’s not over we have to make sure we send a clear message pack your bags and go home
So these kinds of directional mistakes happen in all democracies, over time. In the USA, the Democrats got ever more lost in the late 1970s and 1980s, leading to 1984 Mondale loss where he took about 40% of the vote
After that DEMs regrouped, noticed they need NEW DIRECTION
What Mondale era DEMs were offering was 'classic' socialism ('lite', Europeans would add). When Bill Clinton came with a centrist and more business-friendly view, suddenly DEMs were again popular. It is a question of going too far to one edge. The GOP did this with Newt Gingrich
Would bet Inanity Sean agrees with you, basically . . and gets a kick out of it . . power rush . . .
So Fox's Sean Hannity is arguably the dumbest person to host a TV show. And THIS voice, is who Trump trusts. The idiot. But Hannity knows how to 'play Trump'. And Hannity is just marginally smarter than Trump, to be able to influence him. The dumb leading the dumber.
You remember I wrote in the thread that Trump only listens to the last person to talk to him. About a year or so ago, there was a fascinating article about who gets most of Trump's nightly phone calls - his GO TO GUY is Hannity. Hannity is effectively the USA's second-in-command
So remember... 25th Amendment. Trump could remove himself (he won't). If not, Trump's cabinet including Veep ie Pence could remove him. This was considered early in Trump's Presidency by Secy of State Tillerson & Chief of Staff Gen Kelly, but 'plot' was snitched by Nikki Haley
So there are 'sane' Republicans who have been even that close to Trump, they served on his Cabinet, who wanted Trump removed as incapable to serve. It is not beyond realm of possibility. Pence would become POTUS (into essentially lame duck). But Pence must be part of this scheme
The more Trump damages the GOP in coming 4 weeks, the more they will find a 'remove Trump' idea appealing - but they likely won't dare to say it outloud. Trump will resist and declare it is a palace coup and illegal mutiny & treason and whatnot.
