Pretty sure the Democrats could've nominated Republican Mitt Romney, and the narrative would be that he's a far-left socialist who wants to destroy America.

The problem for that them is that's not the narrative.

That's the narrative they desperately want to be true, but no one outside of people already frothing-at-the-mouth mad and wanting to vote for Trump believes it.

Hence why an ABC poll has Biden up 55-40.

the moments coming out of that Trump/Wallace interview omg lmao

Re: Renaming Military Bases named after Confederates

"I don't care what the military says."
"beautiful world wars"
"You're gonna name it after the Reverend Al Sharpton?"

Re: COVID-19

"Ready? Will you please get me the mortality rate? Kayleigh is right here... I heard we have the best mortality rate." [We do not. Wallace challenges him in the interview prompting that, and while it has to be after-the-fact adds in immediately after graphs showing just that and points out the issues with Trump's chart.]

"They have the sniffles and we put it down as a test."

[Wallace plays the "15 cases, in a couple of days down to zero clip"]
"I'll be right eventually. I will be right eventually. You know I said, 'It's going to disappear.' I'll say it again.
"But does that - does that discredit you?"
"It's going to disappear and I'll be right. I don't think so."

[On the mounting death toll] "It is what it is."

Re: Election

"I think mail-in voting is going to rig the election."
"Are you suggesting that you might not accept the results?"
"I have to see."
"Can you give a direct answer that you will accept the election?"
"I have to see."

Re: History/"Hating America"

"You said our children are taught in school to hate our country. Where do you see that?"
"I just look at - I look at school. I watch, I read, look at the stuff. Now they want to change - 1492, Columbus discovered America. You know, we grew up, you grew up, we all did, that's what we learned. Now they want to make it the 1619 project. Where did that come from? What does it even represent? I don't even know, so."
"It's slavery."
"That's what they're saying, but they don't even know."

Re: Cognitive test

"Incidentally, I took the test too when I heard you passed it."
"Yeah, how did you do?"
"It's not - well it's not the hardest test. They have a picture and it says 'what's that' and it's an elephant."
"No no no..."
[...]
"It's all misrepresentation. Because, yes, the first few questions are easy, but I'll bet you couldn't even answer the last five questions. I'll bet you couldn't, they get very hard, for the last five questions."
"Well, one of them was count back from 100 by seven."
"Let me tell you..."
"Ninety-three."
"...you couldn't answer - you couldn't answer many of the questions."

Re: ACA and... something?

"But you've been in office three and a half years, you don't have a plan [to replace the ACA if repealed]."
"Well, we haven't had. Excuse me. You heard me yesterday. We're signing a health care plan within two weeks, a full and complete health care plan that the Supreme Court decision on DACA gave me the right to do."

Trump is even less of a libertarian than Obama. He openly advocates giving money to the poor. At first he tried to dress it up as a respectable non-socialist plan by calling it a refundable tax credit but they aren't even putting in any effort to maintain that pretense now. He's a full-on socialist in terms of his belief in using government to directly direct the economy.

Ron Paul voted against the Iraq War when George Bush was president. And buying into conspiracy theories (assuming this is true, I haven't heard from him since he retired) has nothing to do with being principled.

Already you're hearing more and more of them "rediscover" their "concern" for deficits as the prospect of a Biden win becomes more likely.

Conveniently they forgot all about it when letting Trump run up deficits at twice the rate of Obama - who had to deal with the recession they gave him.

Honestly it probably does cost $1 million to raise a child. It's like 300k to raise a child through age 18, and another 300k for college. Tack on the time spent by the parents which they could be spending working a second job or starting a business, and you could get to $1 million.

Fearmongering.

Here's why I have trouble believing that any Republican would ever stand up to a Tyranical Government. If one come along that they agreed with, they'd just put everything down to "fearmongering". So what they mean by 'Tyranical Government' is 'Government i disagree with', and what they mean by 'stand up to' they mean 'scream loudly and wave guns around as we fantasize about our second civil war'
