A sidelight to this is renewed focus on Trump's lying, and what that focus does to some people.

...While most people know that Trump lies all the time, there is renewed focus on his lies in the last 2 or 3 days. Over and over again there is reporting on these lies. It could have an affect on a few people. We all know some who won't admit that Trump is a fool and totally incompetent. Trump's current lies, are concerning saving lives, and what he and his people did to deal with the virus. Those lies are so obvious that some will finally admit what a fool he is.
...Of course that number will be small, maybe 5 to 8 percent. Maybe less. But these are total hold outs to the truth about Donald Trump. Trump's handling of this life and death crises is full of lies and incompetence. As the media focuses on what he said this time and that time, Trump will lie some more. And, I honestly believe some will finally come around to the truth. These are long time Trump supporters who for the first time are opening their eyes to the obvious truth that Trump is a con artist and total liar.
... Some will say that that his true believers will never change their beliefs. We have already heard reports from our own members right here, that there are long time Trumpers/Republicans who will vote for the Democratic in Novembers election for the first time . Since it looks like Biden, there will be a lot more in my opinion. It is just a matter of time and it is happening right now.

There is that group who believe they will be ruptured away, and the sooner the better.
They like this shit and root for the Apocalypse.

...My opinion is that many people are changing their attitude about Trump because of this crisis. Even if that number is as low as 3 percent, in the long term, that could end up being as many as 6 or 7 million people. and that number could make a difference in November's election.

70,000 people in 4 states put this idiot in this spot. If 36,000 change their mind, the EC won't save him.
That's 36k out of 120 million voters. 0.03%
So, 3% is gigantic.

One gal claims Italy is faked

They are a lost cause. Some are very defensive. Some are just less vocal about their love for Trump

But here's the thing Stuart, since taking office Trump has made zero friends and tons of enemies If the Dems stick together he is toast. Some ex Trumpets might not vote for him but still GOP down ballot

We need massive turn out

One exit poll in a Dem primary the question was what motivated you to vote? Anger was the top choice 82% That is powerful. Probably up to 96 now
