There have been about 20 things that would've sank any other president but haven't affected Trump, this is just another one on the list.

Trump is seen as the savior of traditional white America, so that crowd is never going to abandon Trump no matter how many deaths there are or how bad the economy gets.


Maybe if Dems are motivated enough to turn out, Biden can squeak by, but it's time to give up on the idea that any fukk up on Trump's part will change public opinion of him in any significant way.
Only time(this election) will tell

This shyt is so exhausting..

Yea it’s crazy before corona you turn on the news and hear someone shot and kill or a car accident or something and nobody cares it’s just another news day.... bad things happen people die

Today in the every state literally EVERY Coronavirus related death is being covered by the news and everything is shutdown

Wish that same energy was being used to fight gun violence, hunger, human trafficking and other problems the country has that are harming lives and killing people

Remember the thread where people were asking where Biden was and you said him not making appearances was not a big deal? This is why people wanted him making appearances. At that time Trump was the only voice in the media talking about the crisis saying what was being done. No one was talking about the fact that things got as bad as they are because of Trump not dealing with it seriously from the beginning. No one was talking about the giveaways to corporations that were being thrown in at the expense of putting money in the hands of the public.

We pretty much just have Trump and his "experts" on the news everyday saying he has things under control and no one on the other side saying anything different.
The facts say something different. He said we should be at 0 cases by now. We lead the world with over 80,000.

More people die from crime, other diseases and other natural causes everyday than Coronavirus in most US cities
What point are you making here? Are you suggesting that a highly contagious virus that randomly kills at a higher ratio than other viruses isn’t a big deal?

I'm aware of these facts but they are not being consistently reported. Biden or someone from the Democratic party should be making these facts known daily. Every Democrat that gets an interview should be bringing this up while discussing solutions and pointing out Trump's lies.

Do they not realize what's going on? Like the new cases in New York didn't go from 100 to 10,000 in less than a week it's just that back when they were saying it was 100 the testing was too far behind to know it was really greater than 10,000.

From the federal level there should have been a coordinated preemptive strike on all this back in early to mid-February. The country should have gone on a planned lockdown back then with the stimulus bill already negotiated and deployed.

Now everything is being done randomly. Different states taking different approaches. The bill is still being debated. This is chaos. How are they cool with it?

To be honest, it’s cuz more ppl gotta die. A record number of cases in Nee York isn’t hurting his perception. Need to have west bumblefukk, Kentucky be the epicenter of this for things to be taken seriously.

but it’s honestly a layup for the Democratic Party if they go with the right candidate. Unfortunately I don’t think that’s the case. But I’ll save that for another thread.

From a few conservative circles, Trumps response is being looked upon favorably mainly because:

1. He's placing blame squarely on Communist China, who many feel(myself included) hasn't received enough criticism over their handling of this.
2. His approach was to slash/suspend taxation. :blesed:
3. He's responding slowly and letting the market and states lead. Sounds like authoritarianism isn't being embraced just because of a crisis.
4. He isn't getting caught up in the hysteria and shutting down the economy.

If Trump is letting the states lead, and the states are shutting down their economies how does he escape responsibility for that? Good policy or bad, the economic shutdown is at least in part on Trump and not just governors, I would think.

So you and other conservatives disapprove how China handled the response to the virus, but you approve of Trump's response?

Have you seen Biden's appearances though? That sorta shyt ain't gonna help at all. They need someone to come in as a clear representative who can bat that shyt out of the park. Biden has seriously lost a step, he doesn't have it in him.
