    The problem for trump, thus far, is that the election is trump vs trump. Biden does not need to engage trump and Biden is winning right now.

    Again, if Trump can't improve those numbers in the next three weeks, Republicans will flip on trump.

    Sure, sure. Any time a Democrat is in office, everything is his fault and nothing good is his doing. With Trump, though, nothing is ever his fault, but all good things are obviously attributable to him.

    Thus Trump's incompetent failure to address this crisis, instead insisting over and over again that the virus will go away on its own and that we only have more cases because we have more testing (complete bullshit, of course) is in no way whatsoever his responsibility. His lack of leadership is somehow not his fault, in sum.

    By the way, CEOs get fired when they run their companies into the dirt.

    Trump inherited an unprecedented economic expansion that had begun after the Bush recession, and has presided over the nation's economic collapse.

    He has also bloated the national deficit to an astronomical level:

    Leading economists, analysts, and financial companies are in agreement that financial crisis is looming.
    More specifically, experts agree that 2020 is going to be the year of economic collapse.
    Experts also agree that many things going on right now are leading to the turmoil that will be felt next year.

    The inheritance of the next POTUS will be far different from what Obama bequeathed to Trump.

    What in the world makes you think that republicans would "flip on Trump" - that makes zero sense. Biden is going to have to engage soon. He looks like he's hiding.

    Politicizing an viral outbreak is a weak last ditch strategy. Everyone knows its complete crap.

    Of course it makes sense. Republicans already lost ~390 seats in the 2018 election cycle at all levels of government. Why wouldn't they run from Trump in 2020 if it looks like this a few weeks before election day?

    The irony to immediately post the following:
    It is astounding.

    It's so stupid. Republicans majorly increased the deficit when times were good with empty promises that economic growth would pay for that, and now BOOM! A real crisis comes up necessitating significantly more spending just to keep the economy afloat, and now Republicans start talking about the national debt.

    Kvetching about the national debt is what Republicans used to do - along with slashing taxes on fat cats to bloat the national debt.

    The glaring incompetence of the shlock-tv entertainer who portrays a politician in real life in confronting Covid-19 is the principle reason the American people are increasingly registering such disgust with him in every public survey. Even his groveling, older, less-educated white male bum kissers are having their blind faith shaken.

    Trump's own words, so starkly at odds with the current dismal plight of the nation, constitute a devastating self-indictment:

    The pandemic did not "go away" as he said it would, he did not have it "under control", everyone who was infected was not "getting better" as he falsely claimed. His effusive praise for Xi Jinping - “Just had a long and very good conversation by phone with President Xi of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus,! Great discipline is taking place in China, as President Xi strongly leads what will be a very successful operation. We are working closely with China to help!” - has rendered his desperate attempt to transfer blame now especially ludicrous.


    In a recent, rambling, incoherent diatribe, Trump raised the ominous sprectre of a dystopian future in which Joe Biden eliminates windows.

    Biden “basically means no windows, no nothing!”

    Hold that thought.

    Republicans have a viable alternative to Trumpery.

    Scaramucci: 'Biden is actually more of a Republican than President Trump'
    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/scaramucci-biden-republican-trump-175148720.html


    “Many Republicans feel that Joe Biden is actually more of a Republican than President Trump if you really study his record, and you studied Trumpism,” Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBride Capital and former White House Communications Director, said... “And so, I think it’s going to be a very difficult election for the president.”

    “I think many Republicans feel this is now a battle for democracy,” Scaramucci said. “This is the biggest schism in the Republican Party since the Gerry Ford-Ronald Reagan schism in 1976. And so, a good portion of Republicans, myself included, have broken away from the president and would choose Joe Biden over President Trump.”​

    So what? No different than 2016 when RINOs relentlessly attacked Trump.

    Why must Republicanism be defined solely based on whether Trump likes you?

    RINOs are not really republicans. They claim to be but their actions say otherwise.

    I think every person who immediately dismisses a Republican as a "RINO" simply because they dared to criticize Donald Trump is living by that philosophy.

    In my State of Wisconsin, which Biden is supposedly going to win by close to 10 points according to meaningless polls, so long as you venture outside of Dane and Milwaukee Counties, there are Trump signs EVERYWHERE... It's truly a sight to behold... :)

    Oh, and not always just the ones you purchase... Plenty of people are putting a lot of time into making their own signs, some of them quite large and detailed... Additionally, people carved "Trump 2020" into the ice of Lake Winnebago in the Winter, and some have even mowed "Trump 2020" into their fields. Republicans in this State seem to be quite pumped up and ready to support the President in November.

    Anyone who thinks Biden is gonna win in a landslide in Wisconsin is as crazy as Biden is...

    My proof is that they are so quick to abandon their so called principles and vote for a candidate that represents the opposite of what they supposedly believe.
