"Despite the well-worn narrative that Donald Trump is either talented or lucky, he has failed at nearly every venture he has ever attempted, losing more money than he ever made. He’s not a good negotiator. He’s not a good businessman. He’s not smart. He’s not clever. He’s a cheat, a thief, and a liar who has survived thus far on bluster, litigiousness, and moral depravity. He’s a bully who simply has yet to be punched square in the nose."

I agree.

However, I don't agree that this means that "Donald Trump is completely, utterly, and in every conceivable way, unelectable."

Yes, he is all that you say to support your assertion but that is just as it was when he was originally elected.

It is both unfathomable and disturbing to many, if not most intelligent, caring and thinking people outside of the USA that Trump is not already in prison, let alone that anyone except the utterly ignorant, naive, gullible or of similar obnoxious character could ever be considered for re-election to the Presidency of the leading nation of the 'Free World'.

Sadly, the corrupt materialist culture which today dominates most, if not all, democratic nations & probably all nations, if truth be known, feeds the desire of even many of those at the bottom of the social ladder and who will least benefit from the election of a right-wing, elite promoting political party and the likes of Donald Trump.

Ignorance, desperation and greed and what is sold as a system that allows anyone to become anything has conditioned the biggest victims of that system to believe that their life chances will be enhanced if those who control it, i.e. the "successful" are in power. Most actually believe that for the nation and themselves to succeed, it will be those who are already successful who will be most likely to bring that about.

It is a common mistake. A logical fallacy. A circular argument. Yet it is what causes masses, even often the majority, of voters to vote against their own interests.

The ever increasing and unruly rabble of Republicans seeking to earn their party's nomination works only in favour of Trump. The Democrats appear to think that they will benefit from the apparent Republican disarray. They won't. No matter how good Biden's record - and in my view it is a good one, especially given the generally obstructionist approach of the GOP - the public perceive him as 'too old', ageism being rife in the USA and the common feeling that it is time for a younger and more dynamic style of leadership.

Yes, Trump is not far from Biden's age but he has what in my country is known as "the gift of the gab" - he has the real "branding" and is probably known as well as Coca-Cola, (and just as bad for you.)

So, in my view, your argument, as good as it is and as much as I want to believe that it will prove to be accurate and show me to understand incorrectly, I think will prove incorrect and, unless something remarkable happens between now and the election, Trump, catastrophically for the nation & the World, will be President once again.

If I believed in myth I would end with "God help us all." As I don't, all I can say is: "In God We Trust" is seeming an increasingly inappropriate motto for the currency. Just maybe, however, there is a God and Tom Waits long ago figured out what happens when his omniscient view witnesses such indecent and self-serving immorality as that of Trump: "There ain't no Devil there's just God when he's drunk."

(It seems that over the last decade he's been on quite a bender.)
