How coronavirus blew up the plan to take down Trump
[Politico] For many Democrats, it’s the election of a lifetime. Yet the question preoccupying the party for several days this month was whether their presumptive presidential nominee, Joe Biden, could get the webcast working in his rec room.

It was a telling obsession, one that revealed the extent of the party’s anxiety as it comes to a nail-biting conclusion: Despite all the arguments Democrats have crafted and all the evidence they have amassed against Donald Trump, his reelection is likely to rise or fall on his handling of the coronavirus crisis and its fallout alone.

"It’s the most dramatic example I can think of in my lifetime about how you cannot control the agenda," said Les Francis, a Democratic strategist and former deputy White House chief of staff in the Carter administration.

"If life were fair," he said, Trump would already be paying a price for his chaotic handling of the pandemic. Instead, the president’s approval rating has not taken a hit, and the dominant images are of him "at the podium in the White House, quote, in charge," Francis said. "If those stick and they’re not countered effectively, he could get reelected."

#1 What a tool! If life were fair, Obozo and his deep state cronies would be wearing orange as we speak.

#2 /\ I've been saying that for over 3 years now and still, no one is in jail. Reality, it appears to be escaping me.

#3 How long before China's phony conspiracy theory defining Covid as a US military op becomes the new narrative?

And Trump gets impeached yet again this summer?
