If Democrat messaging is "#COVID19 is a massive problem, we need to get out in front of it"

And Trump's messaging is "flu kills way more people, this will go away"

then #MAGA will get crushed if things go sideways

like they already have in Italy

Trump will not be punished for overreacting

But if we get an ICU crunch - like Italy/China/SK have already had -

then think about the video clips that will hit in November

Trump saying "this will go away," and a quick cut of overwhelmed ICUs

FDR won three elections DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION

Voters will forgive a lot if the President is providing aggressive leadership to solve a crisis

But they won't forgive Trump downplaying #COVID19 if it blows up
