    It’s almost like we shouldn’t have campaign cycles that run for years at a time. I think most sane countries have their entire election season run the span of just a couple months.

    They blew the small amount of money they did have front loading the attacks to built momentum , and the rest is tied up in all of Trump’s legal cases, which will cost a fortune and he will lose almost all of.

    He has to pay settlement money that was delayed, and now he has a whole new opponent to try and attack, with no money and a huge deficit until past election.

    His assassination and best fundraising is all behind him now, and he used it all to attack Biden.

    Yeah, sucks to be Trump, I just hope his supporters will wake up to reality. Take those blinders off and stop drinking the Kool-Aid.

      I think you are discounting how the election itself can bring eyeballs and green backs. He is only to utter an outrageous statement and create a media buzz. Plus, he has won over most of the media, anyway. Or at least they are willing to grade Trump on a curve.

        Rich scum protect their own. That is why US “news” conglomerates always treat him with gloved baby hands.

        On the other hand though, there is a vast well of exhaustion with him from people outside his brain rotted fanatics. Given there is now a reasonable-ish alternative, the old rules are not as firm as they were.
