Lost causes

Ed Rollins, the chairman of the Great America PAC, a top outside group supporting the president’s reelection, said the course correction starts with Trump. He said the president faces certain defeat if he does not convey more compassion and focus on a message that expands his coalition to include women and independents.

“The message is weak or nonexistent. The rambling on about Biden and Pelosi or Clinton and Obama is old and tired. This needs to be about the future, not the past,” Rollins said.

[...]

The heightened tensions come as polls show Trump’s support eroding among Republicans. A Marquette University survey of Wisconsin found Trump’s GOP support plunging 10 points, from 93 percent to 83 percent, pushing Biden to a 9 point advantage in the battleground state.

[...]

“He needs to show empathy, which he hasn’t, and project strength by doing what Reagan, Thatcher and Churchill did with strong speeches. Not macho bullshit, but thoughtful solutions to serious problems. This is about the future, not what the Democrats did in the past. Make people be concerned with what [Democrats] can do with total control of the government, House, Senate and the White House.”

  The Hill
No one would believe him at this point even if he COULD convey those things. Which, of course, he CAN'T. You are throwing away your money, Mr. Rollins.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
