John Harris, Politico: Why Trump Might Quit
There is logic behind saying to hell with reelection.
The purpose of the nationally televised Oval Office address was to announce new peace initiatives in Vietnam, but Lyndon B. Johnson saved the most startling news until the end of his speech on March 31, 1968. With his country badly divided over a grinding war, he didn’t believe as president he “should devote an hour or a day of my time to any personal partisan causes.” He was dropping out of the presidential campaign.
Now there was a president who knew how to shake up the plot.
Among Donald Trump’s problems in his long, hot and mostly housebound summer is that he has lost his once unparalleled gift for changing the story. He still can stir outrage, but even among his supporters he no longer has much capacity to surprise. “Every hero,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson a century before the president was born, “becomes a bore at last.”
But here is a way Trump could demonstrate that an old master still knows how to tear up the script and leave the audience gasping. It is late but not too late to pull an LBJ.

WNU Editor: Talk about wishful thinking. What is more revealing in the above post are the reasons why the author believes President Trump may "quit". Bottom line. John Harris has no idea on who President Trump is or what has motivated him to run for the Presidency in the first place.

And if he did, then it needs to be Nikki Hayley in his place...
Exactly, wnu
I bet these guys get brownie points with the editor if they write that kind of stuff.
And the editor gets brownies from his manager and so it goes up the intellectual corruption chain.
And the top guy at CNN gets his brownies from the parent Corp. And they get it from China.
All transparent. You can all look it up. But no one will write about it. That's not how the brownie game is played. And as they're in their bubble, co-created by them and the CCP and left leaning interest groups, some are even believing the stuff they have been writing like a synchronised, hypnotised chorus of mindless zombies for 3+years now. They're deep in it. Don Lemon could otherwise not be explained. They're full on crazy and hateful and believe Trump supporters are fascists, while the real fascists on CNN cheered on mobs as long as they beat white people who wear red hats.
And then they get Pulitzer prizes as affirmation and indoctrination mechanism.
We might lose this without Trump. He's the Rebellions last hope. :D
324. The last hope is you and me.
Didn't read the article when I saw the headline. Why bother? Predictable nothing from politico.
What a funny headline; needed the laugh. Same with delaying the election, that was funny!
Mike, are you a real person?
No
THE CONSERVATIVE MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS HAVE STATED THAT
THE ELECTIONS MUST GO ON AS SCHEDULED
AND IF TRUMP IS SO SURE THE VOTING IS FIXED THEN HE SHOULD DROP OUT NOW AND LET SOMEONE ELSE RUN
