As we discussed at length, the Political Gods threw the Joe Biden a bone and he got lucky. All of his talk today is about scaling down campaign events. Stripping the debates down so that there is no audience. No flying to Ariizona, it will be done in DC. etc. etc. No going out an interacting with those nasty crowds, so on and so forth. Those are all goals that Joe can meet. Right up his alley. "Joe, we are having an epidemic, we need to have you not go out on the road and to keep any rallies down below ten people. Can you do it Joe?" Joe: " Absolutely. Done. I am leader in accomplishing those goals. I did nothing, held my campaign activities to an absolute minimum, and had small crowds long before it was cool."
Paging Mr O p ... p. RedDuke under which rock are you hiding? You need to come out and rename thread - Reps just don't yada yada.
For those of you that have been bringing up stock market performance as being due to Trump ( it's not but let's run with it ), the SPX is only up roughly 400 points since the election. Or around 5-6% per year. That's pretty mediocre in a late cycle economy. There is a certain degree of karma seeing a black swan event take Trump down in this manner. However, given how badly he handled environmental disasters, universal health care, and how he repressed the economy with his trade wars, it's no surprise he is in totally over his head now. My opinion is a virus can be a serious problem in the US when too many people can't afford basic health care. Might be a sign to get real universal health care pronto.
