Take, for example, this activity by the DHS and CBP in Portland, where they are using federal agents decked out in military garb without any identifying insignia or names and unmarked vehicles to scoop people off of the streets. This activity is not only bad policy; it's seriously bad politics. There is no doubt that Trump's approval numbers nose-dived after his Lafayette Square debacle. It turns out that Americans aren't keen on their citizens being tear-gassed and having the military mobilized against them. How do you think they are going to react to this secret-police style of policy in Portland? When asked about it, Ken Cuccinelli, the head of DHS, made it clear they intend to continue and take the tactic nationwide. That's just brilliant.

The biggest problem Trump has is that he has effectively alienated everyone but his base, and there are not enough of them to get him elected.

Could be, but my understanding from folks in California is that the bars have re-closed and people are taking their distancing obligations seriously.  Here, I went to the Safeway grocery this weekend and 100% of the customers were wearing masks.  The store was signed. "no shirt, shoes, or mask, no entrance."  What do you see in your neck of the woods?
