Yes! Finally! Great news today! It actually broke a week ago and then again this morning! Hallelujah!
First, from a week ago:
Trump to lose 2020 election in a landslide defeat, model predicts
And this:
Trump will lose in a landslide because of the economy, new election model predicts
Is that not fantastic? Then this report came today from the Financial Times:
Trump is courting a landslide defeat
It shouldn't be a complete surprise because historically, Presidents are frequently re-elected or defeated based on the economy--and heaven knows this one is in dire shape, at least. I'd seen some reports showing he was set for successful re-election. And of course this is just a projection and it is just May and we have to keep in mind how heavily and badly the Republicans have gerrymandered voting districts nationally as well as used "voter ID" laws to disenfranchise yet more Americans but hey, this is hope.
He's eroding his own support, at least some of it, as I've posted here earlier. Here's further, more recent proof.
Trump's Scarborough tweets unsettle his allies
We so sorely need, as a nation, to get back to sanity and calm and thoughtfulness and intelligence--everything this Trump administration has not been and patently is not. Esquire magazine, coincidentally, asked an excellent question regarding this very thing.
Who the Hell Wants Another Four Years of This?
How in god’s name can anyone vote for four more years of this, four more years of a choleric fatburg of a man who calls a press conference about a global health emergency and asks a reporter for Fox...how the ratings were for his last town hall? How does that man carry a precinct, let alone a state, let alone the country?
A good to great article, too, you will likely want to read.
Meanwhile, this is how bad the economy is and how badly this sorry excuse for a President wants to get re-elected.
White House to forgo summer economic forecast amid COVID-19, breaking precedent
And then there's all this "winning" he wanted to create for us, we can't forget that.
U.S. coronavirus death toll rises above 100,000 in world's deadliest outbreak
The U.S. has surpassed the grim milestone of 100,000 deaths as a result of the coronavirus, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, significantly more than any other country in the world.
With all his Twitter rants and untruths (there's another, briefer word for that/those but I won't use it here) and his baseless accusations and emotional outbursts like this:
Trump continues to claim broad powers he doesn’t have
So amid all the doom and gloom and pandemic and social distancing and now rain and clouds for days, be of good cheer, America.
Hopefully, hopefully we are down to less than a year more of this insanity and national degradation.
