Trump goes off message - but is that the plan?

Trump goes off message - but is that the plan?

With less than two weeks until the Presidential election, Donald Trump has carved out precious time on the campaign trail to focus on the size of a former golfer’s manhood and stake a claim to a McDonald’s Employee of the Month award. It’s certainly not conventional campaign strategy - but could it be helping, rather than hindering, efforts to gee up Republican voters?

The polls are looking incredibly tight, so what does early voting tell us about the state of the race? And, with abortion on the ballot in many states, is a woman’s right to choose the vote-winner that Kamala Harris and the Democrats are banking on it being? Or is it more complicated than that?
