You'll never get the magas to change their mind, but you don't need to. You need the traditional democrat voters to actually vote, and you need those who aren't strongly connected to either party to see thay Trump is beyond the pale and vote democrat. In both cases, Biden dropping out and Trump performances like last night push those buttons. We'll just have to see whether they swing it enough or the democrat bounce fizzles out

Exactly @J2R Trump got to this position by being exactly this, someone that's still thinking of voting for him can't really care much about his behaviour, the only possible thing is some personally offensive behaviour. I can see the mobilise support and maybe get non-voters out who think stopping him becomes more urgent although would they even be paying attention to this? |

100% his grotesque manner hopefully will repel more than it attracts. He's turning into Jabba the Hutt but without the charm |

But it made me chuckle when I saw it. We are dealing with extremists who are causing the trouble. We are also dealing with stupid. Well. Sounds like he’s been arrested. Police recognised him after reports of a domestic abuse incident. Police took him to hospital for treatment of his injuries where he abused other patients too. There are no words to describe this. |

I didn’t expect him to be named but I note he’s 18 next week anyway and even if 17 when he committed the offence the automatic anonymity would have gone had today’s court appearance been next week.
