In reply to the discussion: Hoping to defeat Trump this November may be a fools errand. [View all]brush
(61,033 posts)big primary day, but what do think would happen with such an unprecedented catastrophe? The good thing about it though is it's making trump's incompetence the political highlight of the whole election season. The nation sees it and we're actually benefiting from people shut in their homes and not making any money. Nobody's working, their 401ks are in the toilet and people are sick and dying all around.
You're crazy if you think that's helping trump. There's that old adage: When someone is beating themselves, stand back and let them. We can really do much else right now with the coverage of the virus taking up all oxygen in the room.
And when was the last time an incombent got re-elected during a huge economic downturn, not to mention a huge death toll from a badly bungled pandemic responce?
The answer is NEVER.
