The debates were just a little to late. And we all knew it. There were things that Trump could get out to the people during the debates that the MSM would just ignore until then, and probably after.
The greatest power the media has is the power to ignore.

Every serious voter was factoring in the push especially from the democrats. They do this every cycle because they have a flaky electorate and have to hustle and harvest to get them to the polls.
It's because they are all lazy and high and too stupid to remember to do anything at a specific date and time. So they are given a month instead of a day.
In that context it is not too late. You are trying to catch fickle people that really can’t decide. Dropping it this close leaves no room for a counter move. If you release too early they have too much time to spin and create a narrative. Also with time, the impact is naturally minimized. The day after you are dumped it really sucks. 6 months later it doesn’t matter so much. We want the maximum impact with no time to spin and no time to change the narrative.
not to mention all of the early/mail-in voting i'm sure the left wanted as many votes in and counted before anything dropped....part of the reason for mail-in, plus the potential for fraud.
the rollout was just a little too slow

Yes, no one was factoring in the early vote push.

Aren't we talking about the ticktockers timetable of dropping the "bombshells" a little late?

Right? I hope that isn't a bad sign for us honestly...Don't know to interpret it.
I interpret it as good news. If those who already voted are swayed then so are the 100 million who haven’t yet voted.
And there are ways you can actually change your vote, if it was mailed in.
Consider that the people who looked it up in PA and many other of those states found out that they indeed can change their vote, that's probably good.
These aren't Trump supporters.
That's my point. How many will follow through and change their vote. Might not be a simple process..
If they dropped too soon, it would have gotten buried under the covid covid covid coverage.
