If I remember pollsters stopped releasing polls at one point in that election for awhile because they thought dewey was guaranteed to win that election. As a result they weren't able to track last minute shifts towards truman closer to the end of the election.The media during that election was also saying that it would be impossible for truman to catch up to dewey. Unless hilary pulls a dewey in the next few months you are right that trump won't become competitive again in this election.

This is going to be amazing.
To be fair, looking at the various polling charts, the beams are very much uncrossed and don't look like they're going to be crossed any time soon.
I suggest a Trump Mode option in The Political Machine. Your final score is determined by how much you win the primary by multiplied by how much you lose the election by.
It's pretty amazing, he's replacing the campaign head because he's feeling boxed in and wanted to return to primary style of "Let Trump be Trump"? But when did he ever actually pivot? When did he actually temper his message?
He's reverting to something he never stepped away from.

I can't wait for the political cinematic universe that will come out of this election.
Catch "Many People Said" in cinemas soon!

Perfect news to wake up to.
I hate to admit it but it's become a sort of past time to read fresh daily news of how Trump has yet again put his foot in his mouth.
If this means more of those then yes please!!

He just wants to surround himself by people he will eventually put the blame on.
From 90% echo chamber to 100% echo chamber. Lol. He's so full of himself.
The only thing that sucks about having these partisan warriors by his side is expect the rhetoric to get even worse now, not to mention the accusations of rigged elections in swing states etc. These assholes will probably try going to the courts when Trump loses and he's got a far right media arm at his disposal to get the message out.

Seriously, what is he going to do? Add another nickname to Hillary? Complain about Benghazi and emails? Say she founded ISIS? Routinely suggest she is a rape enabler? Talk about how she sleeps? Has to go to the bathroom? Should be in prison?
How much further right can you pivot? Just flat out calling her a bitch?

He's given a few controlled teleprompter speeches but yeah every moment outside of those nothing changed. You can only imagine how much bickering and pestering it took to get him to do those controlled policy speeches.
Still, he had to try something with his numbers plummeting. He's either so deluded that he thinks the policy speeches are what hurt him or he just decided, fuck it, I'm doubling down on what got me here and rallying as much of my base as possible.
I think, like Bernie, he may have decided he's not the candidate who can win this time but he might be able to keep his ideological movement alive. If they really are thinking about a new channel it's a bit scary.
At this point I expect it.
If Hillary ethers him savagely enough in the debates, he just might.
Call her a cunt live on national TV for the third debate.
Lots of people say this but I don't think it will happen.
I can see that dream team of his increasing the chance of a landslide win for Hilary at this point and increase voter turnout in November.His dream team won't hurt Hilary's chances of winning this election much but his own chances of winning this election.

It already was, I was curious once... So I peeked over there, just for a moment.... Oh boy, and with this news I can only imagine those boards lighting up
I could genuinely see Trump call Hillary a "lying bitch" or some variant of that to her face during a live debate.

Trump pushingg further right, and his supporters even further right too, is not a good thing.
Wishing good luck to all minorities in America for this coming weeks.

4th times the charm.
I didn't realize the gloves were still on.
Instead of telling other people to kill Hillary, he is gonna try to do it himself.

Explicit nationalism turning into a major political force is never a beautiful thing.

Naw, it's only good news for the country. In the future we can avoid dangerous rhetoric as the GOP shifts towards the center, pushing the Democrats further to the Left.
Both parties become "better" and we have less chance of getting a populist/fascist elected.

This strategy will resonate with...
...uhhhh...
...uhhhh
His base.
Exactly. Which means he knows he's going to lose, right?
But this will leave a certain group of people that will not except a more moderate GOP and all of this solidifies their existence. Question is just how big this group really is and what they're going to do.

At this point he might as well hire Ann Coulter and Milo.
I don't know what he's thinking. But if there's anyone who could "swift boat" Hillary it would be this new alt right dream team. They're so slimy that I also anticipate lots of false accusations not only politically speaking, but legally speaking.
Technically speaking, Clinton is the worst possible candidate to try this with. There are dems he could bait but Clinton ain't one.
