The Democrats don’t really have anything going for them. No ideas to move the country forward, no policies to secure our nation, and no viable candidates that can match Trump’s accomplishments and enthusiastic base of support. On top of that Obamagate is putting them on defense as the country is now getting to see the full depth of the coup attempt.
All they and their allies in the media have left is a desperation Hail Mary play to try and destroy the economy. Although we flattened the curve, they still want to keep us in lockdown because its their only chance to beat Trump.
We are in uncharted waters now and we don’t really know what the economic breaking point is. Democrats and their allies in the media are banking that it will happen so they can blame Trump. They are willing to sabotage the economy to defeat him.
I worry that a wicked combo of high unemployment and a wave of bankruptcies might produce the type of visceral response you mentioned along with high levels of financial anxiety. And as we know, fear is the most powerful of all human emotions.
The pace of the economic recovery will be a big factor in the election. For that reason, Trump needs to make maximum use of the Bully Pulpit and push hard to Reopen America. There’s not a minute to waste.
We just took 2 seats in house special elections by LANDSLIDES!! Both were Dem seats one in WI. one in CA.
As I said, such things probably don't matter in an election.
