Politico Worries that Coronavirus Could Help Re-elect Trump
Newsbusters ^ | April 2, 2020 | P.J. Gladnick

Politico is channeling a big fear of liberals concerning the coronavirus outbreak. Is this a fear that the deadly virus could spread exponentially? Perhaps. However, what really disturbs them is the possibility that President Donald Trump will get credit for keeping the number of cases relatively low which would make his reelection more likely.

Political correspondent David Siders somehow assumes that recently the Democrats had an effective plan to "take down Trump." The headline is "How coronavirus blew up the plan to take down Trump."

The subtitle reveals the anxiety: "Donald Trump’s reelection is likely to rise or fall on his handling of the pandemic. And there isn’t much Democrats can do about it."

The funny thing is that the Democrats are pretending that things were working out well for them...until the pandemic came along.

People dropping dead all over and THIS is their priority.
That’s revealing.

Which is why they are all spiking the daily briefings and why Trump is keeping Fauci at his side.

Exactly. Proving, yet again, that obtaining power remains their prurient, pathological obsession.

Ah, another devious attempt by Dr. Trump to suppress demonicRAT voter turnout.

The fewer people who die, the fewer people who vote demonicRAT.

They'll find a way around it. Voter registration drives in cemeteries.

History is about to repeat itself. Maybe this time it will be all 50 states.

Donald Trump’s reelection is likely to rise or fall on his handling of the pandemic.

Of course, that's why the traitorous Big Media is going all-out to make this crisis seem as bad as possible, so people will think the only way to return to any normalcy is to get rid of Trump.

That was their Plan, anyways ... too bad it's not working out, now that Pres. Trump has DIRECT access to viewers (via all those pressers) and is looking & acting like a real leader ...

Handy excuse for their lame candidates' facing failure. Gotta have that, just look at Hillary.

Seriously, everyone is looking at this and making decisions through the prism of Trump being re-elected or not. Not the right thing to do. If this weren’t the case EVERYONE would want people working again and not dying. Pathetic.

Gee this article exposes the true way Libs think. F the potential 100,000 to 200,000 dead, it is more important to beat Trump. So Libs how many deaths would be acceptable if you could defeat Trump?

After reading thru the Pollutico comments section, it is safe to say that somewhere the inmates of an asylum have seized control of a computer.

I think 30+ million unemployed, a million small businesses destroyed, millions laid off from big business (Boeing just announced layoffs right after getting $17 billion in bailouts), and liberties stomped everywhere, isn’t going to get Trump elected.

Incumbents are always judged by people’s wallets, not ideology. The people will have empty wallets.

I am on record as saying Hitlery will appear at the July 2020 democrap convention to massive applause and say, “See? I told you Trump would screw this up!”

Trump barely won 2016. I believe it was about 70,000 votes (LS can correct me if I am wrong) in a handful of precincts. Hitlery can take it this time with a crashed economy and liberty destroyed.

Trump didn’t drain the swamp, the swamp drained trump.

The election is 7 months from tomorrow.

The Dims are stuck with Slow Joe.

The clock is ticking. Tick. Tick. Tick.

Damn straight they’re panicking.

And what would the economic and societal impact of ONE MILLION dead Americans have been?? This is a TEMPORARY situation, and the American public understands that.

Trump will win in a landslide as a successful "wartime" president, and likely Pence will have two terms as his successor.

And yes, my IRA is taking just as big a hit as everyone else.

Do you truly think that anybody thinks that slo' joe or any dem would get businesses up and running? Put people back to work? Restore liberties? Stop the bailouts?

That's 'tarded. That's real 'tarded.

You don’t know that. You’ve been gaslighted into thinking it.
