ahhhh, the old what if, game........
what IF, Trump had actually acted like an adult (for 5 minutes!) and handled the Pandemic seriously, and was seen as doing everything possible to stop it's spread. ?
Would he have won? Perhaps.
What IFFFFFF, he stopped acting like a baby and tried to act like the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES........ (for 5 minutes!!!!!!) ......
would he have won? Perhaps.
What IFFFFFFFFF, he stopped watching FOX, and listening to RUSH, and actually tried listening to his smarter advisors and generals, (for 5 minutes!!!!) ..........
would he have won? Perhaps...........
but he didn't do ANY of that..........so hard to say, which factor was the tipping point.
My guess is, a combination of all 3, of course.
Even if you could forgive A and B.........C was too much.
or if you liked A and C..........but B pissed you off........
or you liked B and C, but A turned you off. .............
one of his own advisors was quoted as saying, that if Trump *asked* him for advice on how to LOSE the election......he couldn't think of a thing Trump wasn't already doing.
The only one Trump has to blame for the loss.......is himself.
The race was so close, he could have easily had this.......but he became just so toxic........even his own supporters couldn't stomach him anymore.

No. How could he? Warp speed vaccine should have made him a world hero.
Biden and his News Media and his Big Tech blamed everything on Trump and influenced many Americans against President Trump. One of the worst was Cuomo and no one did more for New York than President Trump. Democrats became shameful in 2020.

According to the exit polls, the Coronavirus wasn't the biggest issue for voters; but it might have had an effect.

If he does lose (things can still turn with the legal issues), it is purely because of a rigged election. I just don't know how all these illegalities are going to go down with the over 70 million who voted for trump. Strange times, anything could happen when the system turns on the people

Trump himself said something I've heard a lot of people say--that no president has ever missed a 2nd term if the economy was good. So he might have lost because of COVID or he might have lost because of what COVID did to the economy.
But I think he might also have lost because he just wasn't very popular. He was less popular than when he ran the first time. He embarrassed himself time after time and through much of his term he seemed only interested in just pi**ing people off! I think he's the only president since we began polling that never reached 50% popularity!
