Trump facing 'historic political defeat' amidst virus, says Bush aide

[Quixote1818]

President Trump is facing backlash for this coronavirus response, including his public remarks at a White House press briefing that suggested humans inject themselves with toxic chemicals as a cure. Former George W. Bush Speechwriter David Frum issues a warning, that Trump is “weak,” and is “headed toward an historic political defeat – one that will likely take the Republican Senate down with him.” In an interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber, Frum implores Trump’s aides and staff to “use their power to prevent him from doing harm.”

1. Fine, but we have to remember what they were all saying about his chances in 2016. NT

4. Remember he was under in the polls and even in the exit polls and then he won.

We always have to factor in GOP cheating. I don't know what Russia plans to do but there are operatives who want bad things for the US who are on his side.

I think we need to try and win by a ten point margin in order to win by a 2 point margin.

7. Agreed. We need the largest and most well-organized GOTV effort in electoral history.

2. What is starting to stand out...

What is starting to stand out are the "innocent" bystanders around Trump that enable him, that includes Fauci and Birx.

Trump is a maniacal narcissist who has now surrounded himself with brown noses and those who have ulterior agendas and see him as a conduit. Even then, the are still vehicles for the harm he does by way following the naked Emperor and not pointing out the obvious which is verboten. Oh, sure, they are gone if they do, but they will share the infamy his failing reality TV show creates.

In this case, for each of them, doing nothing is just as culpable. I would include a list of various supporters as candidates for entry into that hall of shame.

5. After living thru Hillary's historic defeat, I will not believe Trump's loss until I see it...

But thanks anyway, Mr. Frum. From your lips to God's ears.

6. Destroy all Republicans! (at the ballot box)

[Grasswire2]

8. Frum said from the beginning..

...that Republicans would subvert democracy itself rather than lose power in this demographic inevitability. (losing white majority)

I haven't watched the interview yet, but I assume that by "harm" Frum means something cataclysmic to democracy or the world.

9. Not if

his approval is still in the 40s. Guess what? His approval will still be in the 40s in november. Don't listen to this junk and don't pay attention to polls because they have been the same since day 1 of this nightmare. Just F'ing vote!

[Boomerproud]

10. I'll believe it on November 4th.

That is all.

11. Implore Trump's staff...?

Frum implores Trump’s aides and staff to “use their power to prevent him from doing harm”?

1.
Have you seen his staff???
2.
What “power” do you think they have?
Effing Ivanka doesn’t have “power” like that.
3.
Fuck them. They are not “staff”, they are “accomplices”. They believe in everything he does and eagerly sought to work for him. They only leave under pending indictment.
