>I just don’t think he is electable anymore.<
Why?
The poster is :
expatriate Canadian from Calgary, Alberta, and a long term resident of Thailand.
Does it matter what he thinks about US politics?
Why? It’s a valid question, and a proper response would require research with specific quotes and sound bites, which I am not prepared to do - don’t have the time and anyway there is nothing to be gained by doing so. But this why I said it.
The sexual misconduct allegations are an unknown factor at this point - we don’t know what’ll be the outcome of those, but right now they are hurting him badly with women voters.
He is not making enough progress gaining familiarity with foreign policy issues. There is already a critical mass of gaffes that voters will not forget - the other side will not allow them to forget.
He does not handle complex questions well, and my feeling now is it’s not because he is not prepared; it’s because he does not have the ability to, or if you prefer, it’s not his style to. By that I mean he is more the type to digest what he can, ask questions if he can’t digest it because he can’t understand it, and then make the decision. That’s all good, but if you ask WHY he made that decision, he can’t explain it properly. That is not going to sit well with voters. And I am giving him the benefit of the doubt - that he does indeed understand these issues and is not simply winging it - and I like the guy, a lot. Others are not going to be so forgiving.
