3. Trump's main problem for the election is that he has no articulable plan

General statements about re-opening are not going to cut it.

It's well within the realm of possibility that we see decent treatment options coming out between now and October that really give people confidence in reintegrating, but short of that (vaccine is really not going to happen before the election, Oxford notwithstanding), there's no plan.

People want a plan that's more concrete than "We need liberty!" or "Some people will have to be sacrificed!" or "1000-2000 deaths a week from this thing are OK, so long as the hospitals don't get flooded." None of that's going to work, and if the meat plants really can't move forward, then we're in the fucking weeds for real.

What's the plan?

What's the plan?

What's the plan?

What the virus has really put into stark relief is that MAGA or KAG were never plans. They were slogans, at best, with nothing of substance backing them.
