Nothing to worry about Republicans. If only Trump would show a willingness to right a sinking ship

The problem is, Trump doesn't have the capacity to address the problem.

The trick to being president in times of trouble is the ability to show empathy. Obama, Bush, Clinton all knew how to do this. (See, I'm going to say nice things about George W., who doesn't seem so bad in comparison).

Trump doesn't have that capacity. To him, Covid is something that is bad happening to him, not all the people who died, got sick or lost their jobs.

COVID is the defining moment of his presidency

Most Presidents would have excelled. Think of Bush after 9-11. He rallied the nation and got bipartisan support to fight terrorism.
Trump has been divisive, pit one side against the other, turn protective measures into a political statement.

It is costing him the election

If the 99% of the country who aren't infected in any way vote to re-elect The President, I'm pretty sure he's back in.

Unfortunately, most voters give Trump low marks on his handling of the COVID crisis.

Most Presidents would have risen to the challenge. Trump has been a disaster

If you looked at that map at the beginning of the year, Trump would be holding all the states he won in 2016 except for Pennsylvania and Michigan. It would have given him a narrow EV victory.

Since then, he has lost key battleground states Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Arizona, Wisconsin

Trump is even struggling to hold Texas and Georgia

Yes, yes, you need to DESPERATELY CLING onto that... it's the only thing that animates you is that the oddsmakers didn't think our system would fail as badly as it did.

And the fact that your unquestioning faith in those self same odds makers continues unabated is a source of continued amusement.

What is he supposed to do?

It's simple ... If he doesn't completely shut down the economy and destroy the lives of millions of people, he doesn't care that he's killing children.

If he does lock everyone in their homes and prevent all forms of direct commerce, he's a totalitarian monster who doesn't care that people are out of work and can't feed their families.

I don't have unquestioning faith... I look at all the data .

What happened in 2016 was a fluke, thanks to an idiot FBI director sliming Mrs. Clinton a few weeks before the election on baseless charges. Could something like that happen again? Maybe, but unlikely. If anything, anything bad that happens will happen to Trump because he's the guy in charge.

The tragedy of 2016 was too many people figured Hillary had this in the bag, the country couldn't possibly be dumb enough to elect Trump, (and to be fair, the people did reject him) and stayed home of voted third parties.

Simply won't happen this year. Even if you ignore all the things Trump has fucked up (Riots, Covid, Recession) the people who slacked off in 2016 won't this time. The third parties are running non-entities this year because they don't want to be seen as spoilers.

Again, every other country has handled this crisis better than we have, without crippling their economies.

The real problem was, the inequities of our economic system is being laid bare by Covid. No safety nets and no security.

 

[DGS49]

Today's polls ignore the ISSUES and focus on personalities, and the constant media slanders of the past four years have had an impact.

At some point, Biden will have to come out of the cave and answer some serious questions. One can only hope that The People are paying attention.

and it goes without saying, three months is an eternity in politics. If the infamous RBG kicks the bucket, THAT will be the biggest issue on peoples' minds come Election Day. One of the horrible things about this vote-by-mail scheme is that it will induce a lot of people to vote extremely early, before a lot of important developments take place.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Which is exactly what the Left wants.

What is remarkable is your unquestioned faith that the miracle of 2016 will repeat itself.

Trump is a troubled Presidency. He was coasting along with a strong economy assuming he just had to show up to win.

He was completely overwhelmed by COVID. Those who asked “How bad could he be?” are finding out
