Of course Trump is vulnerable. Any GOP president is. Bush 1 by any measure should have won a second term rather easily. He lost.
Bush 1 was a NWO shill who said “no new taxes” and raised them. Then Hot Guy Clinton made panties wet with suburban housewives in the 90210 era with Melrose Place starting and Bush 1 was toast.

He also had a 90% approval rating at one point and drove Iraq out of Kuwait

The left had their chance to beat Trump and proceeded to field the worst primary of candidates in the history of politics.
They needed an Obama. They got a washed up socialist who talks a big game and delivers nothing, and a racist has-been that had 8 years as VP to do something, and didn't.

This. Its astounding how poor the democrat candidates have been the last 5 years. Say what you want about Obama, he would paste Trump by 15 clicks.
If people haven't learned Trump is a bumbling childish idiot in the last 4 years they're not going to figure it out in the next 4 months. Trump only has to win Florida and one or two of the other 5 or 6 swing states and he wins. The vast majority of votes under our awesome electoral college system don't matter anymore.

Sounds like you hate Republics and are a fan of mob rule.
Mattis resigned/was fired because he disagreed with Drumpf’s decision to not go to war in Syria and to bring troops home from Afghanistan. What makes me laugh is The Left now backing Warmonger Mattis who wanted to kill more brown people in the Middle East. Mattis is a military-industrial complex puppet and they aren’t happy they haven’t got more war. Suddenly the Tug Corona Bros agree with Mattis, who wanted to kill more brown people but the racist Drumpf said no.
Defense Secretary Mattis Resigns Amid Syria And Afghanistan Tension

I hear that, but I also think that yours is a subtle point to the average voter. A guy named "Mad Dog" and a military guy? Americans love that kind of character, and Trump let him retire quietly. Trump didn't give him a clever nickname, like Mopey Mattis or some shit, or rake him over the coals. It was "thank you for your service," and the country doesn't view him as some career DC insider. He's a Mad Dog Mattis.
Whatever the Corona Bros believe or don't believe won't matter, because you know they'll vote for Satan himself before supporting Trump.
IDK ... having Mattis come out with this right now seems like it could sting. FWIW, I also think it's REAL shitty timing because the country doesn't need anyone else fanning the flames.
Mattis’ article will be forgotten by tomorrow. If Biden hits Trump with it during a debate, Trump will say Mad Dog wanted more war in the Middle East, Trump didn’t want to send more troops there to die in an endless war, so Mad Dog “resigned.”
Then Trump points out how Biden allowed Obama to start conflicts with those Muslims in the region and kill thousands there by drones.
It’s a loser for The Left to back Mad Dog.
Agree about Mattis. NOGAF about Mattis. He’s not even a footnote in history. More people knew who Mooch was.

Yes, and?
It's all fun and games til the mob is hungry and looks at you

I think people do know and have known trump is as you describe. That’s how bad the left candidates are.
I think Trump missed out on a great opportunity for another nickname. I really think I have something in Mopey Maddis.
LIPO.
Marines I know are going to be really torn on this. They love Mattis, and most if not all are Trump voters.
That's where I was going generally in the first post. For the first time I can remember, and honest to goodness conservative with real credentials who is figure that plays strong with the base has come out against his former employer. I was wondering, and still wonder, whether it would chip the base.
But then again, as Race points out, the Democrats have rolled out a real retard as a candidate. Hillary, before, was more electable than this clown.
is maintaining loyalty Trump's achilles heel? Mad Dog kept a low profile after his departure. Now he's popping off even without a Rose Bowl.
But does it matter? For the first tim, I'm actually starting to wonder if Trump is vulnerable, even against a complete fucking retard like Biden.
I didn't think the virus would do it. That felt foisted upon us all; and even though I couldn't settle on a view about whether Trump was doing a good job leading us through it (because sometimes I thought he was and other times not), I really didn't think the Hong Kong Flu was going to do him in. Something like a pandemic is intractable and the entire world was dealing with it in a global shit show.
But this thing now is entirely domestic and we?, the country, own it, for better or for worse. Now you have MD talking shit about Trump being divisive. It's early June. We're all going to blink and it's BOOM, we're in late August and everyone's attention will be on that big shift into life in the Fall.
I'm guessing this will all die down, and America's ridiculously short attention span will help Trump in that it'll be behind us by then. If the economy is back en fuego at that poont, I think he beats the Bidentard despite the stumbling. If not, then his foibles could catch up to him. Ironically, I don't think it'll be his best policies that will help him at that point because his best policies are somewhat of an abstraction for the average American. I also think running a heavy handed police force to manage this crisis will be forgiven, too, because the truth is, when the shit hits the fan, the average dip shit wants someone to handle it. The things we toss around here about statists is also an abstraction to the average American. I don't think they'll care. And for Trump to lose, he has to lose part of his base.
Trump is definitely vulnerable.
Yes and no.
He didn't win with independent voters before.
He won by carrying the weird poor populous part of the GOP and by stealing the white working class from the Dems. I don't see anything that has changed his appeal to those voters vid, riots, or otherwise.
Look no further than this bored to see how he's won over plenty of traditional GOP that stayed home last time.
I don't see a huge swing in independent voters happening either. Biden isn't the guy that's going to excite or win over that voter base.
Biden will carry the same people the Dems always do minus the white working class. That's not a winning formula.
This right here. That's the secret ingredient in Trump's taco sauce.

without a fucking war. it was "hold my beer" for the US military and the elite Republican guard was shedding their unis and saying "no mas" 5 minutes in.
he caved on taxes, but Bush I was the last of a dying breed. he actually had the creds to be there. a real superstar on the merits; but far from the best politician.
Smooth talk doesn't pay the rent. Obama had 8 years and........
What do you mean and...? He drone striked thousands, fucked up healthcare even more, encouraged the exodus of American manufacturing, won a Nobel peace prize, and did a mean job reading off a teleprompter....

But I didn't hear it. I'm not doing hypotheticals and I'll give you him beating Trump if you want but Obama was no better and probably worse

Perot probably was the difference
For you kids Clinton avoided if not dodged the draft and Bush 1 was a war hero
That was the end of that argument.
It's why NOC about bone spurs
