Bob Woodward was trying so hard to turn the conversation to Covid yesterday on "This Week" that Chris Wallace finally started laughing at him when he turned a court packing question into Trump's COVID failure somehow
Which is why unless there are more imminent bombshell coming I think the Hunter Biden hail mary will ultimately fall short, insofar as closing his polling deficit is concerned. Even so, 30 million ballots have already been cast and time is running short. COVID is for most people a more immediate concern than Biden's alleged corruption, the media will push it, and Trump's numbers on COVID are not good.
Which I don't get. Biden's "plan" isn't anything Trump didn't already do. Biden's response to H1N1 was terrible, and his words and actions at the start of this pandemic indicate he would have had a worse response. Simply not cutting off travel as quickly as Trump did - faster than anyone else in the world - would have cost untold lives. The longer he considered it racism and xenophobia, the more Americans would have died.
Biden is running on lies and media smears. Fine people on both sides? Lie. Suckers and losers? Lie. Bad COVID response? Meh, Trump did better than Biden would have. No American went without a ventilator. Trump popped up hospital capacity more than was needed. Trump has expedited a vaccine in record time.
But I guess he could have been more doom and gloom about it to make the Dems happier.
Death count at over 200k, lockdowns still partially going on 7 months in, economic collapse, etc. These things don't go unnoticed by the electorate. I don't personally think things would have been much better under Hillary/will be under Biden, but for better or for worse Americans are generally not happy with the response so far and will place the blame at the president's feet. From a re-election standpoint, a global pandemic is a
rough hand to be dealt as an incumbent.
