In advance, I apologize for the Vanity Post - but I did want to take a minute to gauge Freeper opinion on recent developments. This thread is a bit long but please read it.
We've had the COVID-19 scare for quite some time now. It has had a negative effect on this nation, economically and socially.
Combine that with the recent rioting in many US metro areas (including mine - which has thankfully died down for now) and my question is this...
How do these things bode for President Trump and the GOP in November?
Do the American people rise up and say enough is enough? We need a strong leader to bring this nation back?
In the suburbs, do the soccer moms clutch their pearls and believe all will be well if they vote Dem or they suddenly realize that the rioting could take place in their neighborhoods or that they might have to cut back on soccer camp for little Brianna and little Jason because their husband is out of work?
Do blacks and Hispanics in the inner city suddenly realize that their Dem leaders have more or less tossed them over the side and decide to vote GOP - maybe not in overwhelming numbers but at a better rate than before?
Given the 24/7 media drumbeat has been "Trump Bad, GOP bad, white privilege bad", has the damage been done and we'll soon embark on a sustained period of Dem dominance nationwide?
I'd like your opinions.

Oh, the good old simpler days .... before today's ACCEPTABLE AND RESPECTABLE rioting and vandalism.
Bush Sr. was the third term in a row for his party (following 2 years of Reagan).
My assertion is that Carter losing the 1980 election, thus making it only 1 term for the Democrats, was a unique occurrence for elections since the 1800's. Evidently the voters tend to not want to change the party every 4 years.
Sorry, I did misread it.
I’m no longer certain we can count on historical trends, we are in a brave new world.
The hatred is for traditional America and Americans, he’s just in the way.
The dem party is cancelling the elections with a war.
