Is this bad news for Joe Bidens electability argument ?
Trump Is now getting positive reviews from Democratic Governors, and some congressmen/women. This is good publicity for him. He is being very proactive in this fight against the Virus.
Bidens messaging has been drowned out and from here on out he will look more irrelevant as Trump continues to fight this virus. Trump is actually benefiting ,sadly, from this virus.
" War time president" and its implication. Trump has referred to himself as a war time president ( fighting the virus) with no push back. A president who presides over a serious crisis will invariably have the advantage on election day. Think of this old expression, " no one will get off that horse midstream".. Psychologically voters will think Trump is a strong leader..
When the virus subsides, and it will, Trump will get much of the credit for his proactive measures. November is actually good timing, in this regard.
Many Bernie Sanders will not vote for Biden. Populist movement usually is about "all or nothing". Some will even vote for Trump as a protest vote against the DNC, of which they are not beholden to. Privately many will want Trump to win because they think it will accelerate the demise of this country thus accelerate the necessity of Bernies message and beliefs. They will look at Biden as another establishment politician that represents the status quo and a speed bump to their progress. Also they would rather dance with the devil they know than dance with one they do not know.
