but his shit reaction to covid was the turning point


I am not saying anything negative and am not being callous to those that died.

I just think many repuklicans were just done after the no action covid disaster

1. Sad that that's what it took, but true.

[exboyfil]

2. MAGA masks and harken back to the WWII effort

to collect scrap metal and grow Victory Gardens. He did not have to let a crisis go to waste. He could have helped the country while also getting reelected.

What would the Democrats have done if he called for an immediate lockdown from all flights out of the country including quarantine for US citizens arriving? Would we have gone along with it?

Probably could have saved 200K+ lives.

3. That's because the MSM STILL goes along with...

The economy was terrible before I got here B.S.

[BainsBane]

4. bullshit

It killed 400,000 people. It saved us from nothing. Your post is callous to widespread deaths.

[treestar]

9. Agree. And without it, Dump would have done

other incompetent things.

[aaaaaa5a]

5. If Hoover had handled the stock market crash better he might have been re-elected.

If Carter had handled inflation and the Iran hostage crises better he might have been re-elected

If Bush had handled the recession better he might have been re-elected

If LBJ had handled the Vietnam War better he might have been re-elected.

If Nixon had handled Watergate better he might not have been impeached.


Your point?

[anamnua]

8. Now, now!

On this momentous day we should not crab at one another.

[Disaffected]

10. If Trump had handled the Covid crisis better

he probably would have been elected.

Your point?

[aaaaaa5a]

14. All Presidents face challenges. Trump failed his. He deserved to not be re-elected.

There is always a reason why a President is not re-elected.

To say if Trump had handled the Covid Crisis better he would have won, is no different than saying if LBJ had handled Vietnam better he would have won. Or if Hoover had handling the economy better he would have won.

There is always a reason. To imply that this is some special circumstance that led to Trump losing the election is where I object. All Presidencies face challenges. Trump failed his on a historic scale. Therefore he lost. It was not divine intervention.

[Disaffected]

15. There is a reason (known or unknown) for everything but

the OP made no reference or implication I could see to "some special circumstance" or, "divine intervention".

It was simply a statement of probable cause & effect - nothing more IMO. Nothing wrong with that.

19. actually not really

since COVID was hardly Trump's only expression of incompetence. Trump routinely has done both incompetent and dishonest things throughout his presidency. The list of all the horrible things he did could go on for pages. Yet, I do think had this particular thing hadn't happened he likely would have won. I don't think, Hoover for instance, had a record of either incompetence nor corruption until the depression.

[ace3csusm]

7. I would rather have those 400k people back than win an election...

COVID was going to happen regardless of who was in office, the degree of spread came down to competence of leaders. What happen to us was due to the incompetence of electing a leader that had no business their and who only cared about getting reelected.

[aaaaaa5a]

11. Exactly. It was a complete failure on behalf of Trump

We are 4-5 % of the World's Population.

We are approximately 20% of the World's death.

We are a 1st World Nation.


Trump failed America. Hundreds of thousands of people died because of his incompetence. From a historical perspective, that is a good reason to not be re-elected.

[Cracklin Charlie]

12. If he would've sent a $2K stimulus check in September...

We’d be crying tears of sadness today.

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. Maybe, maybe not. I wouldn't have voted for him just for doing his damn job.

But then I wouldn't have voted for him period.

[BlueNProud]

16. He was and is incapable of acting properly.

[Renew Deal]

17. I don't think there is any scenario where he won the popular vote against Biden.

[dsc]

22. No but he well could have won the 43k votes in GA, AZ, and WI he needed

[uponit7771]

23. +1, California has to sue for more electoral votes right now Wyoming has more per capita

[Demobrat]

18. If Trump had handled the pandemic differently

he would not be Trump.

[Blasphemer]

26. I agree with the OP and I agree with you

A parallel universe version of Trump who was competent and capable could have turned his presidency around by showing true leadership. However, at the end of day, he was always just another washed up reality TV star.

[uponit7771]

20. Nah, he borrowed 3 trillion dollars to spike the economy

[William769]

21. BULL FUCKING SHIT!

You are diminishing the people that put their heart & soul into this election and you owe them an apology RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

[Johnny2X2X]

24. Disagree

It was going to be close, but Biden would have won in the other issues. He just beat Trump over the head with Covid because it was so convenient.

Trump failed on everything. EVERYTHING!!!! Biden would have beaten using those other issues too.

[XanaDUer2]

25. He may have

I just said this the other day. Also, after he caught it, had he been humbled and gotten more serious about it and said he was wrong, he would have won again. but his
