The Trump presidency must and will die from this virus.

Unfortunately, many innocent people will die for this to happen. It was inevitable, when 60 million people lose their minds and do something so foolish, like electing a con man, reality TV host to be president, the ending would be catastrophic.

When the Trump presidency dies and fades off into history, all of here will have a job to do. When the Democrats take back the Whitehouse and hopefully the Senate, we must all contact our representatives, Senators, Whitehouse, and tell them we want Justice for what trump has done to our country. No matter the cost , no matter how long it takes.

3. What makes you think the Trump Presidency

Is going to die any time soon. The same folks who voted him in will do it again. Here is a guy who should have a current approval rating in the teens and nearly as many people approve of him as disapprove. Those approvers think he is just doing a swell job.

If a million Americans die, the red hat bunch will consider Trump a great and effective leader because two million didn't die. If we are in a recession at the time of the elections, they will be praising him for us not being in a depression. If we have 20% unemployment in October, they will be talking about the greatest gains in employment in the history of the nation.

The political virus is every bit as dangerous as the medical one, maybe more so, because it infects 100% of us.

4. Tell me, How many new voters has Trump gained with the pandemic? How many has he lost?

Trump is going down in November.

You are running Crazy slo Joe and Commie Bernie.

Not gonna be close.

10. He hasn't lost many at all.

His approval rating among Rs is still 90% and he's still pretty solid in right-leaning Is.

His base hasn't gone anywhere. That's who is propping up his overall rating. We underestimate it at our peril.

11. Approval Polls Show...

...aggregated -4.1%. In the middle of a national emergency, that's rotten. At the same point into their first term (1172 days) the last 10 presidents had higher approval and either net positive or a negative # closer to zero.
10 out of 10.
I agree about the Rs, of whom a lot are now cult members. I don't agree that right leaning Rs are as forgiving.
The numbers & circumstances don't line up with that conclusion.

17. "The numbers & circumstances don't line up with that conclusion."

Sure, they do. His approval ratings are among the highest they've been his entire presidency. The 90% of Rs is a given and pretty stable. The only other significant component is right-leaning independents. If his overall approval is up, his approval with them certainly isn't down. Because math.

18. Sorry. That Makes No Sense

This week, polls show he's about the same as his whole term after falling from the bounce.
His poll numbers, under these circumstances, should be way higher, not more of the same.
You seem like you forgot 43 being at 90% after 9/11, then continuously falling for 6+ of the next 7 years.
Same with Carter when the Iran thing first happened.
The bounce effect is real, so the modest bounce that lasted a week, is not a sign of strength.

20. I can tell you

A lot of how much you think that Trump has gained or lost can depend on your point of perspective. If you only take the political temperature of the folks on this forum, you would believe that Trump wouldn't stand an ice cube's chance in hell.

We know that thinking people recognize how bad Trump bungled this thing and how costly his mistakes will be, but, I will remind you, that it was not the thinking people who elected the dolt. He was elected by emotion, a backlash against liberals in general and a black president in particular. (and I believe that the black part was the main source of the hate) These people have not changed, not one iota; they hate you and everything you stand for, and you better not forget it.

If the election is close, there is nothing to lead me to believe that Trump will not use the power of the Presidency to rig the results, so a slim victory won't work. Who is there to stop him? Justice dept? The Courts? Of course, if the Bernie folks stay out pouting, we will not win by any margin, so that will be a moot point.

Trump's chances are no worse than 50/50 today. When he is able to proclaim a great victory over the pandemic, he will be tough to beat. And that is why we need to invest our emotional energy, and our money in fighting Trump, it may be our last chance.

8. He's refusing to wear a mask...

so let him catch this devil virus. I don’t think he’d survive. Election...well under this scenario...no trump.

But... and I hate this... we must be prepared if he wins. They are still trying to pack the courts with friendly judges. The election may come down to being decided in some manner by the courts.
These are unprecedented times with an unprecedented president that has unusual troublesome ideas. Letting down our guard now would be like...hell I don’t know...something really destructively stupid...like putting Jared in charge of this pandemic.

24. How about 'Trump will die from this virus.'

NO lying in state.
NO State funeral.
None of that can happen because of the virus.

And his body would be tossed in the refrigerated trailer along with all the rest of the people he killed.

That popped into my head last night.
It actually made me smile.

25. Stop counting those chickens

before they hatch. With all the free air time Covid-45 is getting this could turn out just like 2015. There's a petition over at MoveOn to get the networks to stop airing his daily rallies. I mean press briefings.

The Trump presidency must and will die from this virus

Yeeeeeahhhhhh, I kind of doubt it. The reason Dem Goobernors and the MSM pushed back on Chloroquine was because they were afraid it would be effective and as a drug with known safety, etc., possibly quickly approvable. After the Shampeachment debacle, the Dems needed to Katrina-ize this coronavirus, and if there is an effective treatment deployed by July or August, it'd be a political disaster for the Dems.

I think that disaster is looking likely. I also think that's why Dems are shifting from #Resisting Chloroquine to a shamvestigation they believe they can stretch out and control.

A whole lot of mental masturbation going on over there.  I guess they finished all the coloring books they took into their moms basement when they started self isolation and are now spending their free time in fantasy land

And with all the false blame they are directing at the President,  I have yet to see them place blame on china for unleashing this biological attack on the entire globe.  No, their only mention of china was when they got all butthurt when President Trump accurately described this attack as the chinese virus.  Fkn'g morons, each and every one of them.

Mark Levin: Schumer 'banged pots and pans' about impeachment witnesses while coronavirus spread
https://www.foxnews.com/media/mark-levin-schumer-impeachment-witnesses-coronavirus-spread

Mark Levin slammed Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., for being more focused on impeaching President Trump than using their congressional powers to prepare for the growing coronavirus pandemic.

The "Life, Liberty & Levin" host said in a monologue airing Sunday evening that if Schumer had his way, the impeachment trial would have dragged on for an additional month or so, keeping Congress' focus away from the virus as it crept into Washington State and New York City.

"Chuck Schumer was banging the pots and pans demanding more and more witnesses," Levin said. "And now today, they say that has nothing to do with anything. It has everything to do with everything."
