His refusal to condemn white supremacists and in fact tell them to stand back and stand by was absolutely deplorable from a sitting US President. That action alone will lose him some moderate supporters who while they won't likely vote for Biden they will just not vote at all. There aren't many undecided voters left according to the polls anyway and already a few million people have already cast their vote, so not much will change. The next crisis will likely be Trump refusing to accept the result, trying to send it to SCOTUS and get them to rule out mail in ballots. If that happens then civil war could break out here!!
I'd just add that the initial few million votes, incl the military ones, are already postal votes with no probs or fraud attached to the process as bogusly insinuated by Trump in that debate and Biden (and Chris Laws) pointed out that fact with no strong evidence to endorse Trump's conspiracy theory anyway. One can see what Trump is up to in trying to "kit up" SCOTUS with suspected partial law court judges biased towards his cause; if they stupidly try to subvert a US election result in this way, they would lose all credibility as practising law judges and there would be a rightful push towards a breach of the US constitution, IMO unprecedented! What this scenario reminds me of is the worst election fraud carried out by some past tin pot African regime OR look further north to Belarus eh!! One really hopes that the majority of the American population give Biden a significant victory over this lunatic, a nightmare of a US President. I hope the US female vote, hopefully should be a significant one, prevails in that defining moment as well!! I just can't perceive that a huge chunk of free-thinking American voters will actually vote for Trump after watching his shit behaviour and the mad rants that go with it!! I briefly listened to some interviews with American voters who didn't know who to vote for because they still couldn't perceive what was on offer from either candidate?? My initial "take" re this view was 1. Where have you been for the past 4 years? 2. Have you observed this President's extreme behaviour since the pandemic began and up to the present time? 3. If such doubt prevails, DON'T BOTHER VOTING AT ALL!!
