Last fall, as the House impeachment wave was building, I asked a gathering of 10 friends what they thought of President Trump’s prospects. Only six were Trump voters in 2016, but the group was unanimous on two points: The president would not be convicted by the Senate and would be re-elected in 2020.
Because the world has been turned upside down since then, I wanted an update from the same group. All successful New Yorkers, they are active in business, philanthropy and politically astute.
Like everyone else, they recoil at the deaths engulfing the nation and our city, and are horrified by the economic destruction being imposed in a bid to save lives. They worry about their own health, their families, friends and neighbors.
Although they hardly represent a scientific sampling, their views on the president, his handling of the epidemic and the fall election are not markedly different from public polls. In general, the group’s opinion of Trump’s leadership is good news for the president.

Not that Trump had the minority vote in the first place but silencing the Surgeon General for pointing out that minority communities are the hardest hit by the pandemic isn't going to have anyone rushing out to vote for him. Not that Republicans will make it easy for people to vote anyway!

Maybe you should check yourself into to the nearest insane asylum because you’re crazy. And stop watching only liberal news stations.

I can’t wait to bath once again in liberal tears.

ReplyDeleteI happen to like his comments on Twitter. He is candid - makes light of his Trump haters. I would hate for him to act stuffy and pretend all is well - like Bush/Obama - even Kennedy.

ReplyDeleteI think this pandemic has made painfully obvious the fact that Trump is a horrible leader and it's the nail in his coffin.
Look, the facts are that he DIDN'T get the most votes last time around. Hillary did, and people didn't even really like her. Trump has alienated many independent's and moderates.
Sure, he has a very loyal base that he panders to that won't sway no matter how egregious or wildly absurd his actions and words are. These folks are the vocal minority.
The only thing he was running on was economy and jobs... and even before this pandemic we were heading into recession. Now he literally has nothing except the obvious failure as a leader when really put into a crisis.
I really think that most of America is fed up with his circus. This pandemic is just the nail in the coffin. I will be SHOCKED if he wins in November.
