I think this is smart and hear me out. He is going to win the election and when he takes office people will still be dying of this thing...so he has to say this now so that when they die on his watch he can say it again. Link to comment

knapplc Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Trump, like all presidents, is receiving a bump in popularity at a time of crisis. A couple of things to consider: Trump's "bump" is historically small, and like other bumps, is unlikely to last. Biden has been holed up in his basement, not out in front of TV cameras every day like Trump. Biden's camera time has been tiny compared to Trump's, yet at the height of Trump's popularity and the low point of Biden's public appearances, they're tied, according to that poll. That's not good news for Trump. Link to comment

Another part that Republicans don’t get us that takes a certain amount of regulation. I agree. Good post. So that begs the question. What parts should be 'socialized? These have been tossed around in political discussion Healthcare Energy (from source to point of use?) Link to comment

No...if he does nothing but lash out at every thing, he has no chance of winning over any of the moderates that lean towards Trump. 1 Link to comment

Joe can delay it for a while but eventually Trump is going to pound him like a trope for the his non-response during the Obama-Biden Swine Flu. I wonder if JB would do better by starting the cycle early. Link to comment

I wonder if JB would do better by starting the cycle early. If Trump makes the mistake of equating the two situations, he's gonna be in for a rude awakening. H1N1: Around 13,000 deaths Economy actually improved during this pandemic (granted we were coming out of the recession) Jobs grew There was plenty of toilet paper COVID-19 Sadly, there will most likely be far more deaths Economy tanked, required a 2 TRILLION dollar bailout Unemployment makes the Great Depression look like a holiday weekend My socks are brown...
