The window for this to work would have been before the primaries.

by heavily implying he’d be a one term “caretaker” president

He never said that. Unnamed people that had no authority to say it did, but he and his campaign explicitly said he had no intention of only running one term.

The new deaths bring the total reported so far by various countries to 577, according to an AFP tally.

The do cite their source.

At least 60 Jordanians also died, the diplomats said, up from an official tally of 41 given earlier on Tuesday by the Jordanian government.

Do you think it's impossible that 41 people could die, reported on, and then more people die?

They are probably influenced by Christian Zionists or are Christian Zionists themselves. Their support for Israel is not to support Israelis or Jews, but to use them as pawns to bring about the second coming of Jesus and the Apocalypse.

The late, legendarily brutal campaign consultant Lee Atwater explains how Republicans can win the vote of racists without sounding racist themselves:
You start out in 1954 by saying, “N*****, n*****, n*****.” By 1968 you can’t say “n*****”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “N*****, n*****.”
