All we see are headlines and polls that should that President Trump is in line to be a one term President….
While he DID pull a miracle win the last time?
Unless the bottom falls out of the Biden campaign?
Donald Trump will have new job come next January 21st….
Those around him and benefiting from him being President would like to have him still as President for another term….So they are trying hard to slow the Trump slide in the polls and manoeuvre a win with a guy who seems to operate in different reality and does NOT ‘get it’ that he’s in over his head and it isn’t 2016 again…

Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor, sent the president a memo last week that White House officials described as a blunt warning that he will lose if he does not stop running the 2016 campaign all over again and urging him to develop a clear vision for the next four years.
Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who joined Mr. Trump for his golf outing Sunday, is urging him to run as more of a populist on issues like stimulus spending, infrastructure and prescription drugs to combat the virus-driven recession.
A handful of Mr. Trump’s allies are more focused on the staff than the candidate. They are agitating for him to overhaul his operation and effectively demote the campaign manager, Brad Parscale; that’s a move Mr. Kushner has been encouraging in the wake of the Tulsa debacle, for which he has blamed Mr. Parscale, according to people familiar with his thinking.
But some of the president’s closest advisers believe that is unlikely to happen, in part because Mr. Trump is loath to take advice from new strategists anyway.
Mr. Kushner and Mr. Parscale appear increasingly at odds. Mr. Kushner has sent mixed signals about his view of the campaign manager: In a meeting with Republican officials this week, Mr. Kushner repeatedly shushed Mr. Parscale and told him to “shut up,” according to multiple people familiar with the events, but at other times he has urged friends of the president to tell Mr. Trump they think Mr. Parscale is doing a good job.
To some of Mr. Trump’s allies, including some in the conservative news media, the outsized role Mr. Kushner himself plays is part of the problem. And Mr. Trump, for his part, has been dismissive of Mr. Kushner in discussions with advisers in recent weeks, on matters including criminal justice reform, and has indicated that he wants to follow his own impulses, not his son-in-law’s, on how to campaign.
It’s those impulses that members of Mr. Trump’s inner circle spend much of their time on, seeking to quell his agitation over his sagging electoral prospects. Last week, for example, a handful of his White House advisers, but not Mr. Parscale, gathered in the Map Room to lift Mr. Trump’s spirits by showing him new campaign advertising.
Equally revealing — at a moment when Mr. Trump is bleeding support from independents and some moderate Republicans — is how often his advisers pacify him by highlighting his standing with voters he largely has in hand: those who participate in party primaries….

Sounds like his advisers keep telling him he’s doing fine because those who continue to call themselves Republicans overwhelmingly support him.
Unlike 2016 though they are the only ones. The Obama/Trump.voters are shifting to Biden or opting out this year.
We see that for example in Biden’s improved numbers in rural and other smaller counties where Obama either won or didn’t fare too badly, but Clinton was obliterated.

If you see these “advisors “ start deserting the ship “to spend more time with their family,”say in late August or September,then you’ll know it’s over.

I do not doubt many (but not all) Democrats wanted Trump to resign the Presidency even if it meant Pence.
However, just four months before an election in which it appears DJT may lose hugely, I do not believe that the most politically minded Democrats want him to quit his reelection race. They seem to have them right where they want him and despite what will be said on here, they know that any other Republican would at least have a better *chance* against Biden than Trump does, because of all the personal dislike for Trump that exists in the country.
