OTOH, a segment of the population might be scared into wanting a ‘magic bullet’ while they’re being bombarded with the latest doom and gloom infection reports, body counts, and cherry-picked statistics. If the Dems can conjure up an imaginary ‘cure’ in the fall (and the Left can lie with a smile on their faces with impugnity), it may peel away some fence-sitters and independent votes in the states under the most Draconain rule: Michigan, Virginia, Pennsylvania, even California to a degree. I still think Trump will win it. With Biden stuck in his basement and being forced to adhere to this whole quarantine business the Dems have ginned up, he can’t campaign, and his virtual rallies are techically trouble-riddled jokes. If he pokes his head out of his warren and steps into the sunshine, we get gaffe-a-minute Slow Joe Part Deux, and the issue of diddling a staffer in ol’ Rattlesnake Canyon will be dogging him all the way. Not to mention Trump is not only the incumbent with four years of experience under his belt, his personality can suck all the air out of a policy debate. Bottom line is, Trump took a very savvy gamble by invoking the 10th Amendment and dropping controlling authority into the laps of the statehouses, while overseeing the bigger issues. It’s now become a finesse game.
Rattlesnake Canyon?
