If you think after the last year that Trump has "all the attributes needed for the moment" I'd say there's something wrong with you![]()
What is wrong with you?
This brings me to my last point: Trump. I know President Trump has many faults. I myself sometimes cringe listening to him. Sometimes he is his own worst enemy. He is a braggart, often misinformed, petty, sometimes even vengeful. And more.
And yet, we are very lucky to have him. I am almost prepared to say that having him is Providential. How else to explain that we find ourselves with this most unusual, most unpresidential man who has just the attributes most needed for this moment. At any other time, he might well have been a bad president. But in these times—these revolutionary times—he is the best president we could have had.

Attributes that matter in a president:
*Triggering the libs
Yep, he's got 'em all
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society both like Trump as much as this guy does. Did I guess correctly?

What is wrong with you people?
Any republican would have had those supreme court picks, that wasn't providence that was designed by McConnell
Donald Trump’s Final Pitch to Americans: Drop Dead
The White House has “embraced” a pandemic strategy that could require 2 million people to die.
he’s got a slightly different plan: ignore the whole thing and let nature take its course, i.e. trust in herd immunity, which could require some 2 million Americans to die. Per the New York Times:
The White House has embraced a declaration by a group of scientists arguing that authorities should allow the coronavirus to spread among young healthy people while protecting the elderly and the vulnerable—
an approach that would rely on arriving at “herd immunity” through infections rather than a vaccine. Many experts say “herd immunity”—
the point at which a disease stops spreading because nearly everyone in a population has contracted it—is still very far-off.
Leading experts have concluded, using different scientific methods, that about 85 to 90% of the American population is still susceptible to the coronavirus.
On a call convened Monday by the White House, two senior administration officials, both speaking anonymously because they were not authorized to give their names, cited an October 4 pe ion led
The Great Barrington Declaration,
which argues against lockdowns and calls for a reopening of businesses and schools....
Its lead authors include Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, an epidemiologist and infectious disease expert at Stanford University, the academic home of Dr. Scott Atlas, President Trump’s science adviser.
Dr. Atlas has also espoused herd immunity.
The declaration’s architects include Sunetra Gupta and Gabriela Gomes,
two scientists who have proposed that societies may achieve herd immunity when 10 to 20% of their populations have been infected with the virus, a position most epidemiologists disagree with.
“The idea that herd immunity will happen at 10 or 20% is just nonsense,”
65 to 70% of a population would need to be infected to achieve herd immunity, and with a population of 328 million,
the U.S. could need 2.13 million people to die to cross that threshold.

Today's Georgia Q Poll
https://poll.qu.edu/georgia/release-...ReleaseID=3679GEORGIA: PRESIDENTIAL RACE
In Georgia, Biden leads 51 - 44 percent among likely voters, while 4 percent are undecided. On September 29th, the race for the White House was too close to call when Biden had 50 percent support and Trump had 47 percent support. The September survey was taken before the first presidential debate and the president's COVID-19 diagnosis.
Today, likely voters give Biden a slightly positive 51 - 46 percent favorability rating, compared to a mixed 48 percent favorable and 49 percent unfavorable rating in the last survey.
Likely voters give Trump a negative 43 - 54 percent favorability rating today, compared to a mixed 47 percent favorable and 51 percent unfavorable rating in the last survey.
"For Trump, 2016 is a distant memory. Defeating Hillary Clinton by 5 points when the polls closed then, and now down seven to Biden with three weeks to go. Warning lights are blinking red and alarms are going off in the Peach Tree state," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.
Likely voters say 59 - 38 percent that they do not trust Donald Trump to tell the truth to the American people when it comes to his health.
For Joe Biden, likely voters are divided 50 - 46 percent that they do trust Biden to tell the truth to the American people when it comes to his health.
Trump is the only person that ever beat covid
You can't even make this stuff up. Trump tells a crowd in Iowa that he hated how their floods got more news coverage than his nobel prize nomination
Quinnipiac has been pretty left leaning this cycle. I'd shift all of its results by 5 points in favor of the GOP. If it has Biden up 7 in GA he's probably just up by 2-3 and within the MOA.
Quite the irony that COVID-19 is costing him the election.
True, but the trend of polling in general is unfavorable to Trump. Since the first debate he's hardly been able to dent Biden.

Larry Kudlow and others tipped off investors about the seriousness of COVID-19 when were telling us it was under control.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/14/u...rus-trump.htmlHours after he had boasted on CNBC that the virus was contained in the United States and “it’s pretty close to airtight,” Mr. Kudlow delivered a more ambiguous private message. He asserted that the virus was “contained in the U.S., to date, but now we just don’t know,” according to a do ent describing the sessions obtained by The New York Times.
The do ent, written by a hedge fund consultant who attended the three-day gathering of Hoover’s board, was stark.“What struck me,” the consultant wrote, was that nearly every official he heard from raised the virus “as a point of concern, totally unprovoked.”
The consultant’s assessment quickly spread through parts of the investment world. U.S. stocks were already spiraling because of a warning from a federal public health official that the virus was likely to spread, but traders spotted the immediate significance: The president’s aides appeared to be giving wealthy party donors an early warning of a potentially impactful contagion at a time when Mr. Trump was publicly insisting that the threat was nonexistent.
To many of the investors who received or heard about the memo, it was the first significant sign of skepticism among Trump administration officials about their ability to contain the virus. It also provided a hint of the fallout that was to come, said one major investor who was briefed on it: the upending of daily life for the entire country.
“Short everything,” was the reaction of the investor, using the Wall Street term for betting on the idea that the stock prices of companies would soon fall.
I wonder what Fauci was saying at that time. If only we knew.at a time when Mr. Trump was publicly insisting that the threat was nonexistent.
