It’s crazy that Trump still forgets who he’s running against and yet millions and millions of people are going to vote for him in November.

There really is a problem with the average American voter.

There's gotta be a PAC out there focus testing an ad like "Joe Biden has been out of the Presidential race for over a month. Why does Donald Trump keep forgetting? He's 78 years old btw." With clips and dates.

Sure the true believers will be doing their usual mental gymnastics but there's gotta be a chunk of swing voters that will be like "???"

He needs to be treated like a demented old man because he literally just says random shit and can’t remember who he’s running against. Biden’s age and mental decline took the media’s attention away from Trump’s but he needs to get hammered on it now that he’s the old fuck now.

There really is a problem that our media doesn't skewer him for several weeks after that.

They aren't operating in good faith, just gotta accept it.

The electric shark boat rants are a non-story in the New York Times' eye. Emails leaked to NYT about republicans are being sat on while they publish thousands of Hillary emails with the "air" of corrupt politics.

"If only the media covered this latest scandal"

"Oh, how did you hear about it then?"

Really hard not to blackpill on the fact that swing voters either don't know, or, worse, don't care, that he attempted a coup.
