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

Posted on 03/12/2020 11:05:50 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

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.”

Who the h&ll is better prepared to deal with the upcoming challenges facing our country than our tried, tested, and true President Donald Trump?

Who, pray tell, could possibly replace him?

Absolutely no one on the Democrat side. I think the American people realize this.

I think they may have found the right mix of meds to make Biden sound normal.

Trump has a fight on his hands. The American electorate is fickle.

Complete propaganda crap from the Slimes.

It would help POTUS, though, to adopt effective slogans such as GWB did with “War on Terror”. Maybe something like “War on Panic” (or a better acronym that won’t offend Italians).

It may be getting worse. Let’s see how he does in his upcoming debates with Crazy Bernie.

Possible. We can’t take anything for granted. I’m still confident however.

NYT doesn’t care. All their readers wouldn’t vote for Trump anyway.

Just shoring up Biden’s base so they can have a huge Hillary Style Meltdown (tm) on the 4th of November.

Very clever.

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

Nothing would have been done different except the Rats would have better at messaging since they control the media. That and honestly the President does not have full control of the government apparatus. The rank and file work against the President.

This has made Trump’s reelection harder, but nowhere near shaky. A lot can happen between now and November.

LOL! Probably my evil twin. If I had one. But, we know it’s coming sooner rather than later. They are SO predictable.

Biden proposes free coronavirus testing, emergency paid leave

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday proposed free coronavirus testing for anyone who needs it, emergency paid leave and other steps in response to the outbreak. Speaking in Wilmington, Delaware, the Democratic presidential candidate also said the outbreak had “laid bare the shortcomings” of President Donald Trump, who addressed the country on the outbreak Wednesday evening. Biden’s rival for the Democratic nomination, Bernie Sanders, is scheduled to speak on the coronavirus later Thursday.

Wishful thinking by the NYT. Trying to mass hysteria an economic downturn.
