In 2019, President Trump’s prospects of winning re-election in 2020 seemed all but guaranteed. An April 28, 2019 Politico headline summed up why: “Dems sweat Trump’s economy: We don’t really have a robust national message right now.” Of course they had no message. Trump’s economy had gone gangbusters.
In Trump’s economy the poverty rate hit an all-time low. More Americans were employed than ever before. The unemployment rate fell to a 50-year low. This, in addition to the 7 million new jobs created. Middle class family incomes had also risen more than five times higher than the previous 8 years under Obama.
Trump had also triumphed over the myriad Democrat party hoaxes aimed at subverting the will of the American people and overturning the 2016 election results: the Trump-Russia collusion hoax and the failed quid pro quo impeachment, for example.
Leading up to 2020, the Democrats had already thrown everything plus the kitchen sink at Trump. They were empty handed. Even as late as November 2019, the Democrats were “increasingly worried that their large and divided presidential field” didn’t “have what it [took] to beat President Donald Trump” in 2020.
Democrats were desperate for something to campaign on. While they never found a robust national campaign message to campaign on, they did find a message to campaign against: COVID.
In the first presidential debate, Joe Biden claimed that Trump had no plan for the COVID response. This was an abject lie. Trump had gone above and beyond to respond to the pandemic.
When Trump restricted travel from China, Biden denounced the move as xenophobic.
When then-New York Governor Cuomo requested a Navy hospital ship to treat COVID patients in March 2020, Trump sent the 1,000 bed Comfort to New York City. A month later, Cuomo told Trump it wasn’t needed.

The COVID con is all the Democrats have

Wrong. The Democrats’ most dangerous weapon in creating COVID-19 lies in pitting anti-vaxer Republicans against pro-vaccination conservatives.
Trump is responsible for saving thousands of lives with his vaccines. When you look at the most avid anti-vaxers you’re looking at Democrats.
Case in point from NYS...
If you read the article, though, you'll find out that this about far more than firewood.
NYS is creating a whole new environazi bureaucracy.
Guess makers aren't bugging out fast enough from NYS for Deep State's myrmidons in Albany.
If the GOP regains Congress, we need to put them to the test and go for Upstatehood.
This is Joe Biden's political calculus for insisting on vax mandates. He sees it as an opportunity to mock anti-vaxxers and keep the anti-max issue alive. It's sooo much easier than the hard work of increased testing and therapeutics, e.g. Regeneron.
The COVID con is all the Democrats have
Wrong...they have the elections scams still in place that stole the last one.
Nothing will change until that changes. Voting by mail is the biggest con there ever was.
Turn about is fair play, Repubs should start running ads blaming the resurgence on Biden.
Didn’t Biden say Trump should resign over COVID? Now more have died under Biden, they should run the hell out of that clip.
It’s interesting how this virus shows up just when they needed it most.
The Democrats’ most dangerous weapon in creating COVID-19 lies in pitting anti-freedom Republicans against pro-freedom conservatives.
Luckily your opinion isn’t worth a damn.

Please name the conservative who favors mandates. Thanks in advance.
I agree 100+ Percent.
Any Republican governor who initiated mask mandates is anti-freedom, which includes Governor Ivey of Alabama for starters.
You’re welcome.
Yup. So they dare not let it go or they will be left with nothing..
And how is that working out for Dementia Joe's/Dems poll numbers, even from the fake news media?
I believe the subject was anti-VAXERS.
I did not accept your premise. My statement was pro-freedom versus anti-freedom.
Which certainly explains the vax rate among democrats.
Oh wait……..
If you are serious, you are very deluded. Democrats are the most fearful, controlling, provax, pro mandate crowd going.

Masks: As a conservative I believe that private employers should be free to require masks or not. When this virus is rampant public and government venues should be forced to require masks. That would be for the protection of everyone. People who insist on not wearing masks are free not to go to these places.
With masks and vaccinations each of us are dependent on other people doing their part. We require that you not feel free to kill the people around you. As with all things, you’re freedom ends where my nose begins.
