Under 2 million in 10 months more is only around 1%. There's at least a 50% chance that would happen no matter who is POTUS.
So, this promise is puffery. Undoing the damage is not an achievement.

(1,604 posts)Scenarios:
1. Everyone pulls through with flying colors, outside groups continue the negative ads (Lincoln Projects, etc.) while Joe looks like a gentleman even as Trump campaign refuses to do the same and looks boorish. Once Trump is "back", Joe restarts the few negative ads that he had, while Trump has to deal with all of the existing fallout. Biden hasn't stopped campaigning, and won't.
2. Trump gets seriously worse and dies. Biden looks honorable for having pulled the negative ads, while the GOP campaign goes into a tailspin.
3. Trump recovers but is seriously invalided, or two or three senior administration officials or senators die. Trump's credibility is shot at that point.
Biden wins by being seen as gentlemanly, honest, and honorable. He can attack Trump, but that actually weakens his position somewhat, and the fact that he was RIGHT about the Coronavirus will carry a HUGE amount of weight during the election.
It's easy to armchair quarterback here, but Biden knows what he's doing.

(24,656 posts)No need for Joe to go negative. In fact, he looks like a real President by staying on message about what we will do starting in Jan. 2021. Because this is what the country needs. A White House with a clue.

Eliminating imports from China will collapse the American economy.
Sure, bring back manufacturing. Not gonna happen in 4 years or 40 years enless Repuke tax policies are drastically changed. Doturd ain't gonna do that, trust me.

(24,656 posts)America survives on low cost manufacturing locations. There is no way we see 100MM+ US investments building factories to make PCBs and producing screw machine parts. Who wants to spend 5X more for a washing machine?

(35 posts)Sounds just like his empty promises from 2016....bring manufacturing, blah blah. We have lost jobs and lives due to his incredible incompetence.
