In reply to the discussion: Damage control? He's 1 point above approval needed [View all]Laura PourMeADrink

The reality is that yes, of course, we will keep on trying to expose his malfeasance. And work hard and GOTV. But all signs point to him stealing it again. And, nothing HAS stuck to him so far. He actually never even has to acknowledge anything because he just lies it away in a tweet. And his highest ace is that he doesnt face the press because he dismantled that apparatus. He's even hinting he might not debate. Case in point, Russians co-signed his debt?? Whaaa? Then he threw other balls up in the air so we wouldn't notice that one.
My point is that what we are doing and how we proceed needs to be completely outside the box.
