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.”

In his debate with Paul Ryan eight years ago, Biden got away with laughing and giggling uproariously and inappropriately for much of the debate. He was mentally sharper then, but his laughter seemed crazed and uncontrollable. It might have been a tactic, who knows, but he won’t be able to use that against President Trump. And Biden clearly is not as mentally sharp now as he was then.

He has senile dementia coming at him now and will be at a definite disadvantage.

And even if the worst-case scenario were to be realized. Trump would be replaced by - whom?

Nobody the Democrats are offering up, that is for sure.

That’s a relief in a way because if the New York Times says it about Trump you know it’s not true.

My thoughts were **** the NYT! They are gloating over the low DOW. They want that to bring Trump down. They want people to suffer, as long as DJT is no longer president.

Other than wanting the NYT to collapse and sell for a dollar, I have two things to say:

1. The DOW is not the economy. A low DOW is not a recession. (Constant obsessive talk about recession, as the NYT is doing, can be a self-fulfilling prophecy.)

2. I doubt the American people, except for wackos, will blame Trump for the low DOW. It was up, until the media went orgasmic over the virus.

There can be no doubt any more that the left, and the media, deliberately and intentionally raised the virus to a super-obsessive-24/7 megacrisis in order to topple Trump.

Trump has a fight on his hands? Why just him? It’s my fight too, and the fight of every person who does not want to see this country descend into a Marxist (i. e., communist or socialist) hell.

More racist wishes drivel from the Socialist New York Times via the Socialist oligarchs at Microsoft.

If we all hold hands, close our eyes really tight, and wish really hard, Biden may be President and become Jimmah Carta II.

“I think Trump might sneak by,” said Kevin DeWine.

Wow. Some people in politics are dim-witted and out of touch.

This guy was a former chairman? No wonder the Republican Party was in such bad shape.

You’re right, he is a dim-wit.

Plugs ranted about “his plan”, as if the Trump administration is just flailing around doing nothing. The stupid old @sshole doesn’t seem to realize that all his “brilliant” ideas are already being done.

What an obnoxious sanctimonious @ss. Shut up Joe, you yapping irrelevant little lap dog. You’re not the president and you’ll NEVER be president”!

He got to be on TV!

It doesn’t matter that he said something stupid.
He was on TV, so his business interest, law firm or whatever he got some PR.

No one will ever remember what he actually said.
