I have no fondness whatsoever for Trump, but the bloodbath comment he made was him saying that the auto industry would face ruin if Biden won. Look at the full context of the quote, as even though his wording was terrible and violent, Trump wasn't saying what many people assumed.

More generally, I think the way Dems have approached this election as a referendum on democracy just hasn't been working. I want Biden to win more than anything, but the primary concern of voters, based on survey after survey, has been inflation almost from the start. Biden's defense of democracy is high-minded, but it hasn't resonated with voters, despite months of trying. As a party, we need a new strategy.

I agree Trump's comments can be somewhat fluid, but this happens so frequently, I suppose I no longer give him the benefit of the doubt, as on 'bloodshed.' I do agree Biden should go, in the interest of a fresh, vibrant replacement, and a new strategy!
