As I wrote elsewhere, the ONLY thing that can tank Trump, aside from Dem fraud, is a bad economy. From 1900-1960, the only Presidents to lose re-election were Hoover in 1932 (GDP was down that year) and Taft in 1912 (split ticket and the economy wasn't strong). Every other President up for re-election had a growing economy and, in turn, they won. From 1960-today...Ford, Bush, and Carter lost their re-election (yes, I know Ford wasn't up for re-election but work with me) when they had a bad economy or recession. Every other President won re-election and, not surprisingly, their respective re-election economies were on the upswing and or mend or things were better than they were at the prior election.

The problem arises when a Deplorable's natural distrust of the govt is manipulated in a judo move to derail Trump. To wit: why is Trump basically saying be cool and we got this...yet liberal and NeverTrumper elements in America and the Deep State are chatting up a pandemic?

The answer is, to sweep up folks normally supportive of Trump into the mania, and to bring about a recession and the demise of Trump.

Sadly, that is also the message on Fox. My bf called me, said he’d been watching Fox all day, was going out to purchase 6 months worth of food. I tried to calm him down with regular flu stats. SMH
