bipolar Tim Pool swings Trumpward again

Sigh...

Tim Pool is aware of his own vacillation between the poles of "Trump is sure to win big" and "Trump is likely to lose." He claims it's a one-time-only oscillation from Trump-optimism to Trump-pessimism caused by SARS-CoV-2 and the current riots. I disagree: Pool has produced a series of videos that clearly alternate in their view of Trump's electoral prospects. This is why Pool is constantly called a "fence-sitter" or a swallower of "the world's slowest red pill." Only a day or so ago, Pool was moaning about Trump's chances—not because he likes Trump, mind you, but because Joe Biden represents a far worse alternative. In the following video, though, Pool once again skews cautiously op-Tim-istic in his view of Trump's chances.


Make up your mind, Tim, and commit to a position.

I must say that observing the political scene from a distance has left me more worried than cautiously optimistic. I think Biden would be a disaster but are the American people wise enough to see through the bullshit being dispensed in huge doses on a daily basis?

One thing in Trump's favor is that as usual, the left is overplaying their hand. I don't think these riots are going to energize the more moderate folks you need to win an election. We shall see in a few short months.
