I'm not so sure, Greggery. While some are posting fake predictions Sleepy Joe won't run, I do think the big fella will give it a go.
Sure, he avoided the republican debates. He even avoided every Press Correspondents' toast while he was in office - the first prez in recent memory.
But I think he believes he can take on Sleepy Joe. I also think he's wrong. I also think that if he doesn't find a good excuse to pull out, it'll be like watching a car crash.
The big fella can do bluster. He can do distraction and evasion. And he only needs one or two good punches: the illegals - Bam! Inflation - Kapow!
Hopefully, Sleepy's been practicing. Don't do the wooden appeal to the cameras, take it straight to the big fella. Lies, criminality, corruption, 12,000 top secret government documents on the ballroom stage.
Give the public what it wants. There's one thing we all share: a full blood brawl. Sleepy Joe doesn't need to appear presidential, he needs to bring out the fighter he used in Congress and the Senate for all those years.
Either way it won't matter. There are no new votes in this. Still, Sleepy needs a few goes of looking tough and he's in, if he's not in already.
Exactly.
No new votes, and Trump (the filthy rapist and convicted felon) knows this.
He's only playing to his base in this campaign.
True, but so you know? Given his recent mental deterioration, it could go very badly for him. Without his autocue, all he can do at rallies is rant, mix his words up, forget what he was saying, and often, just give up.
He's not bad with an adversary though. He's a bully, and he likes a victim. An antagonist empowers him.
People aren't listening to the words. Steve Bannon used to coach him watching him on a monitor with the sound turned down - all body language, pure theatrics.
But the wrong words count a lot. If the purple voters see another Nevada speech, he's gone. Remember, it was his bleach drinking rant that probably did him in last time.
