A bunch of the Trump deadheads will conclude it was punishment for their sins or maybe weird stuff you might imagine ignorant people could come up with. But some of them will find the truth. With quarantine and no jobs, these folks are going to have a lot of time on their hands to find out the truth of why their little girl's lungs are scared for life and why their doctor got sick with no protective equipment and the vaccine's Trump promoted to address this 'hoax' haven't appeared.
"If South Korea and the US had their first test case show up on the same day, why did the US lag so far behind the testing - which allowed it to spread more uncontrolled?"
The one thing that has held it together for Trump was the economy. I think we are headed for a much worse place than the great recession Obama faced. People are going to be miserable or worse and for a number of them, the buck will stop with Trump.
If Trump's approval drops from 43% to 38%, battleground states will be real hard to win.
His approval may rise beyond 43% short term, but when reality sets in, it won't stay there.
I think it will get worse for Trump than that. And when it starts to happen, some of the rats will abandon ship.
Trump will not hold an election, will throw a wrench in it or challenge it legally. He won't go quietly. So his fall in approval will only get us so far.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
