You’ve drop herd immunity from your spiel. Progress.

Do we have a leader in the White House, or what?

Funny how things change.

Sad times for the Dems. All they could come up with was Sleepy "Golden Corral" Joe. Now they have to lean on the media to force feed orange man bad, Covid hysteria, make Americans miserable so they think its the Prez' fault. So sad. Silent majority waits for November to send screeching libs home devastated.

I love the "silent majority" bit!

They're not only silent, but they apparently can't be bothered to actually vote, either.

There is irony in this economic situation.

Trump pushed real hard to reopen the economy after about six weeks of encouraging quarantines to prevent spread of covid.

The reopening is helping to spread the disease at an accelerated rate.

This spread is causing more shutdowns and uncertainty and is greatly extending the period of low economic activity and making this worse.

We can look to Europe who had a similar initial infection rate and shut things down real hard.

Cases are low and things are coming back stronger.

The economy was going to be bad regardless.

There was no perfect solution.

But leadership seemed to take an approach that made things worse than they could have been.

And they still haven’t promised to help states with their budget shortfalls. That will cause more future pain.

this guy gets it

DiscoGary used to lament about how Obama never averaged 3% GDP growth for a year. Well neither has Trump, though he's making it easy to do so if he wins re-election by absolutely nosediving in 2020.

You act like the Republicans are any better. They've had 16 years to come up with a viable candidate. Due to in-fighting and bickering in the party, the best person they have to represent them is a businessman with no political experience/reality TV star named Donald Trump...who basically ran for President as a complete joke.

Think about it.

GW Bush was re-elected in 2004. At that point, they should have started grooming the next candidate. They didn't have anyone. They still don't. At least the Democrats were smart enough to start grooming Obama. They've done an equally miserable job at grooming anyone,..just for a shorter time than the Republicans.

That, in a nutshell, is why the two candidates for President of the US in 2020 are who they are.

Yeah bro

More deaths too Bro, lots bro

Oh they'll vote..Kinda like Hillary 2016 landslide 8%+ polling..hahaha. Biden's up double digits..hahaha. Libs love their yard signs but they can't bring themselves to stick a Biden sign in the yard because of the embarrassment. Libs go home devastated in November...hahhaaha

That is sad. Its called democracy. Establishment lost. He beat Hillary and you think Republicans are sad. Hillary now Biden..hahaha

Hillary: 65,853,514

Trump: 62,984,828

Some silent majority! And I guess they sat 2018 out as well, seeing as how the Republicans got steamrolled in the House. Keep praying for a miracle this November, you're going to need it.

Thank the lord for the Electoral College, I know its racist and we need to get rid of it, but without it half a dozen liberal echo chambers would elect our prez. All of said echo chambers are dumpster fires btw!!!

Biden - Eats a Luby's

Trump - Delivers inaugural address

Libs - At home devastated..But CNN said..hahahaha

I like you how conveniently (for you) you seem to have missed the part where I said: "They've done an equally miserable job at grooming anyone...just for a shorter time than the Republicans."

Most people would infer that to read it as "hey, the Dems are sad/suck too" but not you...you just think I'm bitter that Hillary lost. I'm not. I wasn't a fan. Not a fan of Biden either.

I thought John McCain and Mitt Romney we’re reasonable candidates.

Why did you dismiss them as not anyone?

Maybe Dems shouldn't "groom"(anoint) and let their primary process actually work in a democratic manner...robbed Bernie of the nomination.. The Republican establishment didn't want Trump but democracy happened and he won the primary..who knew that Democracy actually still works. crazy huh?

The What-Aboutism is tiresome.

Election Day 2020 is going to be about grading 4 years of Trump. His best hope is to suppress voting because the clear majority of people do not like his Presidential performance. If he can somehow cut off Mail-In Voting and make in-person voting extremely difficult or unsafe in key areas to score narrow electoral victories that is his path.

If it seems screwed-up that the best way for a sitting President to win an election is to suppress Democracy as much as he can through means legal and illegal, well that's where we are.

You dems really aren't getting it. The media makes you think everything is horrible because of Trump. Covid bad because of Trump. Racism because of Trump. Coin shortage Trump. Russia Trump. No gay rights Trump. You are in an echo chamber and you can't hear the outside noise. At least tune in to Fox to hear something besides the same stuff you hear on every other channel. That's where Republicans have the advantage, we are forced to hear the mainstream stuff all the time..but libs aren't forced to hear anything unless the seek it out.

You're going to be disappointed in November, not because of Orange Man stole it..but because for now we have a Democracy and the Media is lying to you.

Not true at all.

About six states decide the election anyway but that irony is lost on you.
