‘He’s Cooked’

Gabriel Sherman: “Donald Trump’s campaign is having a ball watching Joe Biden brazenly defy calls from the media and Democrats to exit the presidential race following his humiliating CNN debate performance. The chaos engulfing the Democratic Party is fueling Trump’s confidence that he will beat Biden in a historic landslide, sources close to the Trump campaign told me.”

Said one prominent Republican: “They’re spiking the football.”

“The celebration in Trumpworld is happening largely in private. A campaign official said the strategy is to let headlines about Biden’s cognitive decline dominate the news cycle.”

Said another Republican close to Trump: “Biden is the first Democrat in 24 years to be behind in the popular vote as late as July—and it’s only gonna get worse. He’s cooked. And imagine what happens if his cognitive condition worsens before the election? It will be an absolute bloodbath.”
