The Boomers were Trump's base in 2016 that ultimately carried him over the edge in the key swing states. If he loses them, it's hard to see how he stands any chance whatsoever in getting reelected. There are simply too many headwinds facing his campaign. This election is looking more like 1932 than 2016.

Too many people believe the lies about Coronavirus.

Yep. Once Trump embraced the "let them die" policy, quite a few Americans realized their interests were no longer represented.

The summer will be very interesting.

Trump's team will need to get control of the narrative.

Otherwise, I would agree...he is toast.

One of your more stupid statements.

And that is saying a lot.

In what way(s) is it stupid?
Tell us about his testing, tracing and quarantine plans. Tell us about any plan meant to keep at risk people safe.

Another liberal who doesn't understand the importance of a good economy.

Trump was trying to keep the markets from crashing. He knew that mentioning the possible coming pandemic too many times could cause investors to get the jitters.

Why don't you libs ever give Trump credit?

The question is, how will Biden win the Rust Belt? I hear democrats on twitter ask "what is his message"? How can he attract Bernie Bros who refuse to vote for him, and, even if he does so, in the process not alienate moderate Dems?

It appears he is going to hope for a Clinton campaign where he doesn't say much but Lebron James, Hollywood, Obama and Michelle go on tour to promote him.

After 4 years of Trump fighting for blue collar workers I'd say it's going to be tough for Biden to take his supporters away with a "China isn't our enemy" campaign. Obama may be a poison to him at this point, activists are viewed as pariahs by citizens who want to work and win, not worry about what pronoun to call someone or deciding which washroom to use.

If you missed the post about who is dying where, you see that governors of the N.E. have truly fucked over their constitutents.

So that is why it is stupid.

Sure. At the cost of lives. There is a way to do it while preserving both the economy and lives. Trump just isn't doing that.

In reality voters are blaming Democrats for whatever public pain they are in. Democrat states are in a state of rebellion. Blaming Trump is not working. Yet for some bizarre reason Democrats honestly believe the fairy tales they tell themselves. Women overwhelmingly support Joe Biden in Tara Reade's complaint. Democrats believe this. The public endorses closing beaches and parks. They believe this too. It's very easy to tell the true believers that Trump is being blamed.

That premise is stupid.
The President represents all Americans, dope.
I see you have no answer as to why the federal govt has no plans or materials in place to open safely or to deal with any increase in cases as a result.
IOW....let them die.
 
It all hinges on how the COVID-19 thing pans out.. As we reopen and we protect seniors old Joe doesn't stand a chance. The stock market just took a 1,000 point jump in a day and if it continues and they feel more secure Joe wont have a chance.
I haven't heard the first thing from the right about protecting seniors. I have had people on here attack me because I do not support immediate open full blast across the country, been told to suck it up for the good of the country. I didn't support him before. That was before he and right wingers such a Lara Ingram on Fox determined people over 60 should be a useless minority.
