Trump’s Re-election Chances Suddenly Look Shakier
NYT ^ | March 12, 2020 | Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Martin

President Trump faces the biggest challenge yet to his prospects of being re-elected, with his advisers’ two major assumptions for the campaign — a booming economy and an opponent easily vilified as too far left — quickly evaporating.

After a year in which Mr. Trump has told voters that they must support his re-election or risk watching the economy decline, the stock market is reeling and economists are warning that a recession could be on the horizon because of the worsening spread of the coronavirus...

“If it was Warren or Bernie and you don’t have coronavirus, I think Trump might sneak by,” said Kevin DeWine, the former chairman of the Ohio Republican Party. “But if it’s Biden, ‘My I.R.A. has tanked,’ and we’re going to have complete disruption because of coronavirus, I think it’s a totally different story.”

Trump's fault, we're all going to die.

However, from the Rat perspective this manufactured crisis is probably too soon as the economy can recover before the election.

They wish.

I’m still waiting to hear what the wizards of smart on the democrat side would have done to prevent this.

Does the NYT want us to believe that Disoriented Joe can handle the Coronavirus pandemic better?

President’s get to much blame/credit for the economy or other major events, but that’s the way it is.

Nah. PDJT will just cancel the debacle in November and appoint himself supreme ruler. You know that’s what they’ll start whinging before long.

One would have to believe that the American public would place more trust in Joe Biden to handle this.

Most have no trust in whether he remembered to put on underwear this morning.

The October Surprise in March? Try again Maggie, and explain why your fellow Democrats in the House voted to rescind Trump’s travel bans. This is all political now. Maggie Haberman being the usual dumb liberal she is!

What are the Democrats going to say?

The Party that advocates open borders and kissing China’s ass would have done a better job?

Yeah right.. most sane Americans would prefer a no nonsense fighter like DJT as president when the proverbial shi+ hits the global fan. Not a weak, liberal wimp who has no idea what a good deal is for Americans. Love him or hate him, Trump is the leader you want in a global chaos scenario.
