    1. Trump's closing message in 2020 is definitely confused and defuse. Very different than 2016 where he closed strongly, with "Crooked Hillary" message in sync with a rhetorical populism that portrayed Trump as foe of the global elite.https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1322185289520107520 …

    There are two closing GOP campaign messages, if not more. Trump + RNC are emphasizing the "laptop from hell" and any new info or humor about Hunter. In Iowa, I saw Don Jr talk for ages about Huntergate; 36 hours later, Pence didn't mention it at all.

        2. Trump's 2016 campaign was disgusting on all sorts of levels, but simply in terms of message discipline, especially after Bannon took charge, it was very focused. The problem he has now is that his core anti-system message only works if you are challenger.

        3. Since he's now the status quo, economic populism has receded from Trump's messaging. It's still there in dribs and drabs but doesn't structure his argument as it did in the heady Steve Bannon days of 2016. Trump 2020 talks more about stock market than jobs.

        4. To use his own terms, Trump is a choker. He's choking like a dog.https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-election-populist-campaign/ …

        Noticed on TV the other day that even the official campaign people were wearing MAGA stuff when I thought it was gonna be "Keep America Great." Even my wife turned to me like, "Wasn't the message supposed to be he made America great again already?"

        Surely by now everyone understands how Autocomplete works, and its power as a generator of solecisms. Why bother the poor man?

        Go back and look. He basically vanished for the last week and a half of that campaign.
