If he is re-elected, they should probably create an app that will allows to translate whatever language he is speaking to English that we can understand. It is a struggle to always have to wait for the translation of his statements.

I don't condone anyone wishing bad things for Trump and all, but it's going to be tiresome listening to and reading conservatives upset because assholes on the internet are saying bad things about a person that's made a living saying bad things about others.

Quote:
I hope he gets better with little/no symptoms but I have no sympathy for him given all the misinformation he spews and how many people he's put in danger. And you know if it was Biden that tested positive and Trump negative Trump would already have a tweet out calling Biden weak and saying his mask didn't save him. |

Quote:
Or how about that quote of Trump hating on Biden's son who had a drug addiction just 2 days ago? Didn't see a lot of "the other side" condemning that hate. Or some of the things said about RBG. Or about Hilary and pneumonia. Or about white supremacists... etc. etc. |

I concur 100%, and trust me, I would love to slap him across his smug face, I just can't be a bigger dick than that by wishing anything on him worse than that. (I guess the joy of mellowing as I get older) :) |

The video from the Supreme Court nomination looks like a potential super spreader event. |
I will never understand why Trump didn't push for more relief. The guy doesn't care a lick about the deficit. He could have called for $2000 a month per person and it would have made so many people happy. Like I genuinely think he would have a shot if he had been more aggressive with aid.
|
Quote:
Yep. Seeing that Senator Lee and ND president both tested positive for COVID and they were both there seems to indicate that event was a catalyst. Apparently Barrett herself had COVID earlier this Summer, but quarantined until she got over it. |
Best take I've seen so far...

Quote:
He's so personally vindictive that he let state and local aid get in the way of a massive re-election package. |

Quote:
Because he is incompetent. And he is weak. And he is completely dependent on Congressional Republicans. They let him be the figurehead, but he couldn't figure out how to do the first thing without them. They have/had an interest in keeping the economy hobbled in case Biden wins. So, yeah, a President with some insight and sense would realize that he should try to stimulate the economy. And a President with some strength could have strong-armed enough Congressional Republicans to go along with him and worked with the Dems to pass a massive aid package. All the competent people he fired or who resigned so he could replace them with ass-kissers? They would have been able to help him. They are long gone. But he has no insight. And no sense. And no strength. So he doesn't get what would help him. And he probably does not even realize it. |
Quote:
I'm taking a more practical approach to this. I hope he fully recovers, but I hope it is not quick with few symptoms. Not because I want him to suffer, but because I'm afraid he will absolutely use it as an example of what we all need to go through for "herd immunity" and that it's no big deal. This could actually create an even worse trajectory for Covid depending on how he handles it (based on how it handles him) and how his supporters react. If he's up and running in a week with nothing more than cold symptoms, you can expect an avalanche of "see we told you so" BS from Fox News and Trumpers. The big GOP/Trump guy in our office is the only one who has tested positive so far. We all had to get tested. He went back over a week later and got a second test which came back negative and now he's claiming the first one was a false positive. I mean... that's not how it works. It's a snapshot in time. The first test might have been a false positive, but a negative test 7-10 days later does not invalidate the positive test. It just means you don't have it now. If you had 2 tests at the same time, one a positive and one a negative, then you might have a case that the positive was not correct. These people are just twisting themselves into pretzels trying to explain all of this away and avoid personal responsibility for their choices. |
Yep. If he has a bad time with it but ultimately recovers, it might convince some folks to take the virus more seriously.
|
I'm content hanging on to a little spite: I hope it beats his ass like a rented mule for a month straight & the long term effects prevent him from ever playing golf again.
|
Yeah, maybe a similar experience to Boris Johnson will change some behavior.
|
Funniest thing is all these bootlickers coming out to say Trump isn't fat. Must have riled him up listening to the news this morning and he is having a fit.
Also who fucking cares what happens to that sack of shit. |

It seems like it changed his attitude a bit and it might be one of the better case scenarios SI |
Larry Kudlow just said sources tell him Trump has a "very moderate case." Which is stronger language than mild.
Let's not forget this: — tommyrulznyc (@tommyrulznyc) October 2, 2020 |
Can we humor ourselves just for a moment and entertain this hypothetical thought: If Trump passes away, the RNC decides who runs against Biden. Lets say they forgo Pence for some reason. What alternative option presents the best chance for the Republicans to defeat Biden/Harris and win the Presidential election?
Who is the RNC's strongest choice? My gut first instinct tells me Nikki Haley then maybe Tim Scott, but curious to hear others... |
What the hell kind of word salad is "very moderate"?
Can I be pissed at the GOP for having 2 straight Presidents who butcher the English language? SI |
Quote:

It would be Pence. Haley as VP makes sense although I can see them throw Ivanka in there too.
|
So interestingly, Biden's announcement that he did not have COVID led to a 300 point rise in 15 minutes in the Dow Jones Average.

Quote:
Too many people have voted to change the ballots. They'll probably just go with it and say they'll choose the actual person afterwards, but Pence and Ivanka (or whatever) will be on the team to make that determination. |
Trump completing his 1st term at 78c on PredictIt. That number was 90c on Sunday, before the debate.

Quote:
Right but people will want to know who they are voting for, so the Republicans would have to say "vote for Trump/Pence on the Ballot but it really represents a ticket of XX/XX" I would think. I don't think it would fly for people/swing voters not knowing who they are getting. Who for that XX/XX gets them closest to beating Biden/Harris? |
Wouldn't Pence push some NeverTrump conservatives back home, and cause some far left folks who were only voting for Biden because Trump, to go third party? (I hadn't thought about it until this moment, but I'd imagine that Pence v. Biden would move me to third party.)
|
Quote:
I think they'd rather have a let's honor Trump's memory by voting for him and let the actual person be named after, rather than naming, say, Pence/Haley and people being turned off that they didn't name Don Jr or something. |
Quote:
I can't imagine so. I feel like NeverTrumpers also includes Pence at this point as the argument is that he's been complicit to all of Trump's bad deeds the entire time. |
Quote:
I seriously doubt it. Pence bought into Trumpism so hard that people would equate him with the administration. Look at the Lincoln Project - they are going after Senators who have enabled Trump, like Lindsey Graham. |
Quote:
There's like 8 NeverTrumpers out there. I think Trump not being on the ticket would just destroy Republican turnout. |
Quote:
Yea. I don't see that as very plausible. No one is voting for an unknown ticket. That doesn't give them the best chance to win. |

When Senators have died in the past before their elections, they generally imply the spouse will get the spot, but usually never come out and say it. |

Agree. The GOP has attached themselves to Trump so heavily I'm not sure anyone that isn't Trump or a clear Trump disciple has much of a chance in a general election. The party needs an enema and 30 days isn't enough to clean things up. |

I was just going to post a prediction that Trump would end up at Walter Reed within 48 Hours....
|
Someone who is deathly afraid of seeming weak isn't going to the hospital out of "an abundance of caution".
|
Wonder if he invokes the 25th tonight.
|
So they helicoptered him to Walter Reed. Is that normal? Thought it wasn't that far and they could have driven him there.
|
I'm surprised that we know about any of this - the positive test, the reports of symptoms, and the hospital trip. I don't know if this is good journalism, a Trump strategy, or internal anti-Trump strategy. (Or, much less likely, they're just trying to keep America informed).

He’s going there to visit wounded troops

He is literally the last person on Earth who should be taking some kind of fringe experimental therapy, right??

Normally I would just take the route of Occam's Razor, but, he has lied so much over the decades, I can't decide if it's just another lie or he really has it. |
Quote:
We used to know most everything about the President's health. After Ike's heart attack his cardiologist gave daily briefings. When Reagan was shot we got regular briefings from his doctors. It's a national security issue to keep things under wraps when it's probable that rumors will get out. |
Quote:
Meh. He brought this on himself. I don't feel bad. Once again, if he had just adopted a rational common sense approach instead of rallies, no masks, and mocking, he might be coasting into a 2nd term. Being willfully ignorant has never earned the mercy of nature. |
I don’t think you can fly the president to Walter Reed without the press knowing about it. So you either communicate it or people go nuts with speculation?
This is just insane though. As if 2020 and this election couldn’t get any wilder. If you thought the results were going to be considered illegitimate by 40% of the country before... |
An experimental treatment that's only in phase 3 doesn't seem like something you give the President unless it's a lot more than "very moderate"
|
Yeah, and the cut in on ABC had the founder of the company on and he said it was a high dose as well
|
|
Of course this all goes down on a Friday going into the weekend. So Trump-like...
|
Probably not a good thing he is going to Walter Reed
|
Seems like reasonable speculation they knew he had it on Tuesday

I don't think it's a big deal, but suspending the campaign is crazy when the Trump campaign isn't suspending. |

Here's the thing. The left has been dealing with the purest exploitation of power from the republican party since before 2016, and almost exclusively since the election. There has been no good will built up, it's only about, I can do it, and I will. That is the only sort of response that should be generated. You do not defeat a bully by letting them off the hook. You do it by humbling them, and if they manage to come to their senses before you finish them off you give them one chance to redeem themselves and walk away. That's it.

Quote:
That actually could be a very good move. Let's be honest, Trump's base will not desert him and it will have no impact on voters he already has in his pocket. Same for those already on Biden's side. Given Trump's debate performance, which was abhorrent, and turned a lot of people off. Doing this plays well with those undecided voters who are just looking for for something to tip who they favor and a move like this comes off as both classy and presidential. This will assuredly pull more voters Biden's way, than continuing to hammer him on things related to the virus if Trump gets gravely ill. Instead use Covid-19 related ads to focus on what Biden will do to tackle it. I just think people in general that are not already in Trump's pocket are sick of the circus and could see a move like this as compelling. |
Quote:
If it's one thing we know about media these days, they take the weekend off. |
And dola, definitely don't completely suspend the whole campaign. He needs to get here to Arizona and Florida.
|
Quote:
If you take the facts at face value, good move. Within 24 hours Trump has gone from fine, positive, mild symptoms, fatigued, hospital... This is fast - no need for negative adverts given this trajectory, campaign on positive messages, but it could backfire very easily if you continue denigrating Trump |
Quote:
That was really nice of him to get COVID - for us. Thanks President Trump. I can honestly say I appreciate it and am glad you did that. |
You know, if this plays out just right for the GOP, this could work out really well. Trump is diminished just enough that he is persuaded to step away from the nomination (saving him from the embarrassment of losing as a bonus), Pence takes his place, and tens of thousands of conservative-leaning voters who would never vote for Trump suddenly shift to the GOP/Pence. And McConnell continues along on his merry way as Senate majority leader/puppet master.

He seems better than I thought he would. |

COVID side effect appears to knock the orange out of one's face. |

I kind of disagree. Not the sure-fire confident language he usually uses: "I think I'm doing OK"?!? What is that? I mean I also wasn't expecting him on a stretcher but that language plus the report that he was "spooked" by the oncoming symptoms through the night and today seems like he's getting Goliathed by this... |
Did..... Trump "take a dose" of a drug to get it into a Press Release and boost their stock...? I wouldn't put it past him.
|
How bad would it be for the country, the world, etc if he died next week from this?
|
|
Quote:
Honestly... not as bad as if he was reelected. There, I said it. |
Quote:
Given that a significant part of the Trump wing of the GOP is already basically equating this to a declaration of war by China, pretty fucking awful would be my guess. |
I think Pence may bring back some never-Trumpers to vote Republican. But, I think there are many only-Trumpers that probably would not vote. All of this is speculation. There could be a real rebound for the Republicans because of the loss. Or, there could be real lack of interest without him.
