7 days out of the 54 remaining before Election Day.

1. I want Democrats to run on this for the rest of the campaign season.

To repeat over and over Republicans support a MASS MURDERER.

12. this has to be a big part of the narrative..

Trump dismantled all the pandemic safeguards Obama put in place...Trump's all consuming obsessive Obama hatred and his sick need to destroy Obama's legacy was in place long before the pandemic hit...

2. I dunno...

The rate this is going, there will be some other, worse scandal that breaks some time in the next six hours that makes everyone forget about how Trump is responsible for the negligent homicide of hundreds of thousands of Americans.

It’s like we’re approaching the political singularity.

[brooklynite]

8. Doesn't matter...

Any day that this or another scandal is the focus of attention is a day lost to Trump.

[EarlG]

11. Agreed

I’m not one for the “everything is a distraction” theory, just pointing out that this stuff is really starting to snowball now. Who knows what we might be talking about a week from now!

3. I think it's goes longer

These tapes are hours and hours. If Woodward was smart he'd release them little by little over several weeks.

4. But let's keep hammering Rapist45's intention to end Social Security

and Medicare at the same time. We can and should multi-task.

[JI7]

5. And the economy which is one area he has better numbers than Biden in polls

in fact they need to connect it to his failures with the pandemic and other issues.

6. It's only 8AM Central..

There's a lot of time left in the day for the Tangerine Tyrant to say something even worse.

7. Every week we need to come up with something this big.

First week: The Atlantic reports that Trump disparaged the military and thinks that people who died in wars are losers and suckers.

Second week: Woodward tapes reveal that Trump knew that Covid was lethal.
Barr uses the power of the Justice Department to defend Trump against a private lawsuit that involves defamation.

9. YES! Keep it front ¢er, with the # deaths & infections

Repeat it ad nauseum to the American public the Con is a mass murderer and needs to be ousted & prosecuted.

[Mike 03]

10. It will continue to reverberate because COVID 19 isn't going away.

Every time coronavirus is in the news, either someone will bring it up, or the new disclosure will be linked in people's memories and minds: Trump knew, Trump lied. It's kind of like if you learn something really embarrassing about a friend; every time you see that friend you think of them in a new light.
