"SNIP...............

Asked for his analysis about what is going on, he explained that not only is most of the country tired of Trump, some of his most avid supporters are flat-out exhausted with politics in general.

"I think if there is exhaustion factor," he told the co-hosts. "I mean maybe it is anecdotal for people saying they are looking at these crowds and looking for yard signs but you don't feel the level of energy they had before."

"I think his own base is exhausted and I think the whole country is exhausted," he elaborated. "But the people who want to vote them out, who have been against him all along, and the people who have come to understand his true evil, those people are motivated to get out."

He added, "The other people sick of him are his own people and it's like, ''Alright, I don't want to go to another rally. Do I really want –– do I have to get up on election day? How many envelopes do I have to –– these envelopes are bad; I'm not going to vote."

The MAGAs I know up close — family and relatives primarily — fully believe they are in a last round fight to save America from Commie’s, perversion, immorality, evil religions, “big government” control of peoples’ lives, globalism over nation, etc.

I don’t buy the exhaustion theory. I think it’s more like a major league baseball game in the 7th inning when the hometown team is up or down by 10 runs. Been there, done that, won’t miss anything exciting by leaving early to get a jump on traffic. ……. Plus, MAGAts are just too darned stupid to even know when they are exhausted.

Nice thought though.

At a baseball game, unless weather or other circumstances cause delays, they generally start on time.

And toilets are available before or during the game.

I went to a rally where Obama spoke for the Senate candidate, and we had to file early into the gym and the speeches did not start on time (although not as delayed as some of both Thump and Biden's recent appearances).

The first thing I did once it was over was find a bathroom.
