Hey, as we head deeper into March in the midst of a global pandemic that has to be very bad for Trump's mental well-being, take a moment to remember who said he would be off the Republican ticket by now.
He's not going anywhere if we don't vote him out.
He's not going anywhere if we don't vote him out.
There could not be a more damning nor glaring display of his lack of fitness for office than this, the bungled attempt to manage a pandemic as a PR exercise in public and his private paranoia. Any signs Republicans are abandoning him or thinking of switching horses? No.
They've backed their horse and they're not about to give up. There is nothing -- not saving the stock market, certainly not saving lives -- that is worth splitting their base to the Republicans. They would rather rule a wasteland than sacrifice a single seat to save the country.
I'm a certified member of #TeamSunnyOptimism because I choose to believe it's not too late to do something, but it's up to us do it. There's not going to be a magic breaking point we hit where things just resolve themselves for us.
And while I choose to hope, I have never misled you by suggesting that there's a savior waiting in the wings, that we just have to wait until someone gets all their ducks in a row. I've said all along we won't get a better chance than November 2020. Not Mueller, not impeachment.
If you appreciate this honesty and insight from an independent voice, it's a great time to pitch in some support. I am sick with Probably Not The Coronavirus and my whole household's been kind of up and down with it.
