It's important to remember that many, perhaps most voters haven't really switched on to politics. I've given up hope of the mainstream press putting Trump under scrutiny but looking at his behaviour over the whole campaign he is clearly more rambly, more extreme in his statements and less disciplined than in 2016. I hold a shy hope that this will be evident when the unengaged voters start paying interest and the attraction of a 'normal' politician who (wonders!) is well under 70 will be decisive...But let's not be complacent. I urge everyone who reads this to think if they know 'weak Democrat' voters and kindly make sure that these people make it to the polls!

It seems highly improbable he makes it to November as he is regularly decompensating. He is severely unwell. I listened to Dr. Bandy Lee on Anthony Davis’s podcast last night. She and many psychiatrists tried to fulfill their “duty to warn” the public about his extreme unfitness and the danger imposed if elected before the 2016 election. They were shut down by the APA and the media.

On an encouraging note, an assembly of psychiatrists are meeting in September to again make their case publicly.

Everyone should take a listen.
