Oh no. I'm still going with the economy. It's going to come back. Stock market is really rallying now. And I think Trump will be able to lead us out of this mess.
It's just that the optics of Biden on police reform when he has a history of supporting punitive criminal justice bills is going to be horrible. They are already showing the tapes of him making speeches on this back in 1994. It's really bad. Anyway, Biden is a very poor messanger when it comes to police reform. So that is going to be a plus for Trump.
I think more people want stability then police reform and that's the message Trump will put forth. He will focus on jobs and he'll keep saying Law and Order from now on. He'll highlight that the cities that were a failure on crimainal reform where run by Democratic leaders. Specifically, Minneapolis. And now that they will be defunding the police department, people will no longer be safe in cities such as that. Business have already left and will not be returning.
Unemployment in that city is about to go up.
People tend to support those that will keep them safe and employed. They are the ones who never say anything - just go to work,come home and take care of their kids and family.
The silent majority.
Is it going to be a winning stratagy - we'll see. It will be interesting to see the next approval numbers come out.
And,of course, who knows what will happen with the coronavirus.
So that's where you are pinning your hopes? On a single issue of defunding the police. That's weak! Especially since Biden is on record that he does not support defunding the police.
Trump's approval rating is now -13.8%, 41.0%, according to FiveThirtyEight. Another drop since yesterday.
Trump supporters attend Trump rallies. You can count on one hand the number of uncommitted voters attending his rallies. He will stand in front of about 20,000 rabid fans and lie and misstate the truth, call Biden "Sleepy Joe" and the crowd will love it.
And once the fact checkers start checking his statements and point out his mis-statements, Trump's approval rating will continue to fall. The voting populace have caught on to his act and are tired of it.
The shame of it all is that if Trump had just done his job as POTUS and not found it necessary to use twitter as he does, not ridiculed his opponents, not lied or misstated the truth, taken blame when it was right to take blame, and just act PRESIDENTIAL, he would probably be in solid shape for reelection.
