Hey DUers - about those dropping poll numbers

Yes some of his support is peeling off, but it is temporary.

Remember, they are cult members. COVID-19, specifically people locked at home, is causing an issue with the plan.

People are home, bored, only so much FAUX News they can watch. Very few are flipping to CNN or MSNBC, but they are damn sure watching local and network news at a higher rate. Thus the information control is lost on some of them. Get them back to their normal lives, back to work where they migrate to like minded FAUX suckers, and the numbers will go back up.

9. Biden should go on right after him for 10 minutes every day.

With a list of corrections to Trump's lies.

Or he could go in right after Pres - uh - Governor Cuomo and piggyback on that audience.

11. +1, but after Trump declines testing ... right now it'd seem nakedly political but after

... Trump declines testing outright with a hard no then there should be an effort by every loving human to tell Trump to go to hell.

Trump telling America there's not going to be a nationwide testing campaign will be him abandoning the country with admission.

13. He's not declining testing (for himself). He's blockading testing (for the other 300 million of us)

"Decline" sounds like a polite and passive "no thanks." We need to use active, accurate language.

but his support was never enough to win the election. We have to stop him from those lucky swing State wins.

The real, dyed in the wool, red-hatted maggot has no limit on the amount of Fox News he or she is willing to imbibe.

The greatest part of the rise in active disapproval shown in polls comes from the solidifying opinion of middle of the road types grown disgusted with the cheap thug, and now utterly repulsed by the spectacle of crass self-regard and mental imbalance he presents daily for the viewing pleasure of the voting public.

We're going to need a lot more than the simple fact that C-19 showed up on Trump's watch to defeat him in the fall.

For starters, it is clear that the disease originated outside of the United States. Also, there is a very good chance that it will have pretty much run its course (at least for the first wave) by November. And when a lot of people have gotten their stimulus payments, we can expect an uptick in Trump's poll numbers.

So very many times over the last four years, I have seen things occur concerning the Orange Menace that I thought were going to finish him off, but they fizzled. There's only two ways to run for office, unopposed and scared, as the saying goes.

Sad to say it, but Joe Biden hasn't got this one in the bag quite yet.

of some of them. We only need a few percent to sit out the next election because they are mad that Turd lied to them about the virus.

is a big part of his (and republicans generally) MO is dirtying up the opposition.

The one political "benefit" right now is that it is so all consuming they cant really go after Joe.

LONG time to go once we get out from under this for them to throw shit at him.

So there’s that. I suspect there will be plenty of fire returned by Dems.
