Trump has been out campaigning while the Democrats are holding their virtual convention. Traditionally, each party pauses any electioneering while the other party is holding its convention. Not surprisingly, Trump is breaking with tradition.

Do you really need to ask why? Surely by now, you realize that Trump MUST be the center of attention at all times. He is like a needy toddler constantly demanding your attention.

So he is out on the campaign trail, giving speeches and defying CDC guidelines on safe conduct during the pandemic.

And, as usual, not making sense. While he is out stumping for your vote, he is claiming the election will be rigged. That absentee ballots are safe, but mail-in ballots are not safe. That Floridians can safely vote by mail, while he’s suing New Jersey (where I live) to stop mailing ballots to all registered voters. That the results will not be known for days, weeks, months, or even years. And now, against all common sense, he is claiming that the election will be such a mess, that they will have to do it over.

Let that sink in for a moment.

Trump thinks the way to win the election is to have another one if he doesn’t win…
