You really think Trump deciding to start World War III would help him in any circumstance?
Even though most Americans are opposed to war with Iran (only 35% of adults favor it), a war with China might be mildly popular due to the false rhetoric about the Coronavirus pandemic that Donald Trump has spread in recent months.

Other: Biden molests a child on live television. 'Cause that's what it'd take at this point.

A combo of #1, #4, #5 and #6.

I doubt that declaring war out of the blue would help Trump. I mean, foreign conflict is the only thing missing from the perfect storm of events that is leading to his defeat (recession, pandemic and racial unrest), though the idea made me think of the mess the United States would be in right now if Trump had decided to invade Iran back in January.

Thank you, Tucker Carlson.

Out of those, a Dukakis moment, as you call it, is the only feasible one

The only way I can see this is if Biden was filmed having sex with children at sex slave island. Then had audio of him talking about how he enjoys the place and has taken every advantage over the years to treat himself.

I'd hope that would put an end to his political career.

He could if he

1. Fires Stephen Miller and ditches his immigration policy in favor of W. Bush's
2. Sincerely and tearfully apologizes for his past raping/groping and other faux pas
3. Promises to appoint centrist and minimalist conservative judges who respect Roe v. Wade
4. Promises to be more consensual and less erratic in his decision making
5. Stops sucking up to Putin

I mean, I understand 2, 4, 5 and maybe 1, but 3 does not really make sense. It would just make Republican voter turnout dip significantly.
