I mean sure, there's still a lot of time; but nothing about this strategy says "this guy will win" and there's some shit that's pretty hard to come back from. Stuff like saying "there's two competing stories here" after a massacre committed by your favorite allies that left 100+ starving people dead.
I can't predict the future, but I'm good at spotting trend lines and this one is definitely trending towards "getting your ass kicked by a reality TV show fascist crook in a rigged oligarchy."
