MMMGA-Make March Madness Great Again.
That, and they’ll continue to pass it to one another at the massive rallies Trump has said he will continue to hold.
I don’t think he would have won in any situation. He won by the most razor-thin of margins. His approval rating was about 46% at the time of election, and immediately dropped and was stuck in the 40-43% range (and that was before COVID-19). No president has ever been elected with a rating that low.
God willing they will be the biggest crowds in campaign history
The state of the Dow Jones won’t be an issue with his base. That much of his base are going to be unemployed come November is going to be an issue with his base. It’s that simple.
Sam Harris recently said that this virus appears to have been custom designed to decimate the Trump Cult population. I thought that it was really short sighted of Harris, given that it’s a worldwide pandemic that will hurt populations that take no part in the Trump Cult. However, if what you say is true and Trump continues to hold large rallies, I will have to grant Harris his due.
I hear ya. But those who make up his base won’t blame him for their lack of employment. Those who voted for him for the fuck of it, or because they hate Hillary might do so.
Aw, c’mon. You know they’re going to blame Obama’s culling of the public health services in the US for *45’s pathetic response. It’ll be Obama whom they’ll blame. Naver *45.
Guys, even more than making the incorrect argument that all who voted Trump in 2016 somehow constitutes his base, can we stop publicly wishing death on large swaths of people?
Did Darwin wish death on anyone?
I think it’s too far for Sam Harris btw. He’s a professional.
Trump will never be president.
The Mueller Report will finish Trump’s presidency.
The impeachment will finish Trump’s presidency.
The Coronavirus will finish Trump’s presidency.
You know what’s really going to finish Trump’s presidency? 2024.
You can’t lie your way out of an economic collapse and daddy is long dead. Trump is toast.
You hope.
Why would his base give a shit about the Dow? They don’t own stock. I am afraid they will suffer unduly from Covid though. So will all red-staters since their governors are still in denial and anti-science.
This will be the narrative concerning the economy if there hasn’t been significant recovery by November. Your disagreement with what has happened with the CDC will just be background noise.
And if the virus is still a thing come the election it will suppress all voter turnout equally. It’s not magically going to target Republican voters in a way that the Democrats with their morally superior woke immune systems will feel safe ignoring.
Did anyone else just hear a dry cough?
We can certainly hope for a good case for all of the administration. They should survive and be chastened and wiser.
If there’s one thing that’s going to hurt him with his base, it’s the appearance of weakness during a crisis. This Politico article touches on that:

Granted, at this point I think most of Trump’s followers are too cultish in their devotion to not follow him over the cliff. But this may well open a few people’s eyes to the fact that the guy was never anything more than bluster, and that he’s in way over his head.
His approval on fivethirtyeight is holding steady at 42.5%, there is nothing that will convince his base that he’s incompetent.
I’m sure he doesn’t believe in fire extinguishers either.
COVID will not take Trump down. His supporters voted for him in the first place.
Decent people that go to the polls to vote will.
