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."

“That’s ‘tarded. That’s real ‘tarded.”

Guessing at the future of ‘what if, what would be’ isn’t anything people think about. They merely look at their wallets and vote for the other guy. It is how Clinton got elected in ‘92. If you were older than 17 you might know that.

So, maybe if you grow up and stop thinking anyone who disagrees with you is retarded, you might get to pay attention and learn from history instead of childishly lashing out. What are you, 17?

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

I'ma a scientist. All my comments are informed by what I know about the science involved. ALL the various models, as well as the experience of Italy, point to a similar result. Until I see actual EVIDENCE to the contrary, that is my conclusion. Plus my experience with biowarfare does, I think, give me a more accurate view of what is happening.

No "gaslighting" involved.

No point in having the election, then.

The Donkeys are panicking because they saw the virus as their last chance to take down Trump. They were getting positively giddy that it would enable them to do just that. But...then the Donald stepped in and took charge of the daily briefings showing he was in charge. The public has noticed and approved. Now they’re screaming that they should not air the daily press conferences because Trump has once again clearly outmaneuvered them.

Hilarious.

From the article: We're really fortunate the second paragraph is very true.

Not anyone. Just you. Specifically.

Politico Worries that Coronavirus Could Help Re-elect Trump When the headline reads... Politico Worries that Elected Democrats Could Help Re-elect Trump ...then you know that the jig is up.
