BWAHAHAHAHA-HA!

Trump has not led a public poll in crucial swing states like Fla since before Biden won the nomination.

In fact, the biggest fluctuation in race was Biden extending lead a bit this summer.

As @ScottWalker gets at, last chance for a shift (outside events) may be debates

Stop! You’re killing me!

What should Trump do?

One Republican who’s seen a few campaigns has some ideas

Yup, it’s Newt

“He has to continue focusing on the network of anti-American lawlessness” and “emphasize American patriotism and history versus the left’s anti-Americanism”

Remind me, what was the last campaign Newt won? Last century, wasn’t it?

NEW: GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy is privately encouraging voting by mail and warned President Trump the party could be "screwed" by his fight against mail-in voting.
"We could lose based on that," McCarthy told me at a diner in Salt Lake City last week https://t.co/8c8cAVRFzF

And the best part of that article is this:

McCarthy said he's spent hours telling Trump that this preoccupation will hurt the president's own re-election, as well as Republicans running for Congress.

"I tried to show him ... you know who is most afraid of COVID? Seniors. And if they're not going to go vote, period, we're screwed," McCarthy told me.

The other side: Trump trashes mail voting in part because he sees the messaging as good cover if he loses to Joe Biden in November, sources close to the president’s re-election campaign tell Axios.

Tell me, Scott Walker, will the debates fix that?

Trump doesn't care about Scott Walker.  Trump doesn't care about Newt Gingrich.  Trump doesn't care about the GOP.

Trump cares about Trump.  QED.
