tRump's Odd Strategy

Many observers have commented that tRump has made no effort to woo swing voters. He's devoted his political attention to invigorating his base of around 40%. The day after his election, he began a re-election campaign based on his original issues: the wall, jailing Hillary, reinforcing white male supremacy, demeaning women, etc. 

There's a math problem in this. In 2018 he won 3 million fewer votes than Hillary Clinton. Three years later,  his focus group, old white bigots, has begun to die out. Young women have registered in greater numbers. tRump's malevolent incompetence and failing mind have become more evident. The Democrats are likely to unite against him once they have a candidate.

tRump is unable to be more than what he is, a stupid, malevolent narcissist.  He'll double down on that. He'll jerk about like a marionette. But polls showing him losing big may be inaccurate. Some of the voters who love him are ashamed to admit it.
