#1 "Never Let A Good Crisis Go To Waste"
~ Rahm Emanuel

#2 Next thing you know our betters will have Coronavirus parties like they have measles parties. It's not like the virus would ravage Dem urban bastions and leave the countryside relatively unscathed.

#3 The Dems might be crazy enough to root for the virus. However, unless the Dems have a vaccine, they could be rooting for their own demise.

Personally, I think the Coronavirus is over-hyped and surrounded by too much hysteria. Ordinary flu is a greater problem as more people die from flu annually.

#4 Economic crash is far and away their best hope for November. So yeah, of course they are rooting for it.

#5 Iblis, I think that is the goal. They are trying to crash the economy to make Trump look bad. The Russian hoax and impeachment were failures. This is the latest ploy. The Dems want the country to fail--they don't give a flip who it hurts.

#6 /\ The Chinese weaponized bug crisis came along, and voilà, the dems hitched their broken down wagon to it.

#7 ...aided & abetted by fully compliant bendo boys & girls in the national media.

If it bleeds, it leads.

#8 One could theorize that a stock market crash was the goal of the Chicoms. They probably wanna get rid of the Orange Man as bad as the Democrats. They'd love to get Bloomingbird in the White House.

#10 Personally speaking I'd have thought a globalist pandemic which causes problems from over outsourcing would play INTO Trump's hands, not away from them and the chance to control the border more strongly would also.

#11 yes.

#12 Yes. Next question.

They think it can hurt Trump.

They think they can use it to push Medicare for all.

They don't care how badly it hurts or kills Americans.

#13 They gladly sacrifice our wealth, or security, our health, why not sacrifice our lives for the democrat/socialist agenda...

#14 Is the pope Catholic?

Um, wait a minute....

Does the bear shit in the woods?

#15 If anybody can 'make this play into Trump's hand', it's Trump.

#16 Rooting and activating are two different things. They're not rooting.
