The economy is literally on the verge of crashing due to the Coronavirus which he is completely making it worse. I think it's safe to say. He can't get out of this without reputable damage at this point. I mean give me your thoughts on this. I'd love to hear y'alls opinions.

(1,206 posts)It's gross to want bad things to happen just to get rid of the asshole and I feel horrible about feeling this way but if it was going to happen I just want his utter, undeniable incompetence in full view as close to the election as possible.

(1,206 posts)bad things are happening.
But I guess on the whole it sucks a whole lot more to know that the damage would be mitigated with someone competent in the White House.

(9,897 posts)Trump has been on the verge of implosion ever since he called Mexicans rapists after that elevator stunt in 2015.
Its been 5 years of constant "never-before-seen" controversy - one after another after another...and yet the cockroach mother fucker is still in the Oval Office today...
He is a no-shit, live-in-person Voldemort or Vader or Jason or Freddie or Chuckie doll.
I want him gone forever more than anything I have wanted in my entire life - including wanting to get laid for the first time as a hormone-addled teen. I want to wake up to the headlines "Trump found dead on toilet" more than that even.

(14,063 posts)His soft supporters will likely abandon him, I think. His cult, of course, wont but theyre lost anyways.

(12,618 posts)But the reality is, he was already finished. This will just make it even more so. He has never achieved higher than the low to mid-40's approval rating average. You can look at every president for the last 40 years and see that they tend to get in vote percentage almost exactly what their approval rating is, give or take two or three points. He was never going to win reelection with numbers like that.

(16,938 posts)He NEVER had a positive majority in any poll, and while he continues to hold "his base" - it was never really that big, just loud and obnoxious! You have to believe that these latest developments will shut out anybody that may have been even "considering" supporting him.
An effective campaign run by the Democratic nominee, along with the support of the marvelous ads from M. Bloomberg should just slam the lid on any chance of IQ45 surviving this mess (yeah, this current "mess" is the "virus" - but the past 3-plus years have been the biggest mess of all!).
BUT, we still must GET OUT THE VOTE! We can't "assume" that he's done - we have to make sure!!!!!

I can't wait to read all the new inside books from Bolton and everyone else.

(16,685 posts)Heard that far too many times over the past 4 years. His cult will follow him right over a cliff. We have to landslide him out of there in November. No complacency and drag everyone you know to the polls.

(16,938 posts)Too many times we've seen: "THIS IS IT - HE'S DONE!"
And he's still there.
He's gotta' go and WE have to make it happen.
GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!!

(52,328 posts)Right-wingers have been corrupting our media and our political discourse and our government for decades. They have been priming 30+% or so to unconditionally support a right-wing authoritarian. They have corrupted parts of the media to spread propaganda, push fake controversies, and dwell on trivia instead of investigating and reporting useful facts.
They have made a concerted effort to diminish our capacity to object to even blatant abuse of office.
Not luck.
That said, I think you're right, people vote their wallets and the economic contraction, even if temporary, is a big problem for Donnie.
