Trump shocked to learn he might not win reelection

Donald Trump does not like to hear bad news. By all accounts, in private
the people who work for him are required to deliver to him a version of
the rhetoric he offers to the public: Everything is great; you’re
setting records; nobody’s ever seen anything so amazing. When they
don’t, he becomes extremely unhappy, as he did recently after aides
presented him with “grim polling data … to encourage him to reduce the
frequency of coronavirus briefings or to stop taking questions, after
seeing his numbers slip for several weeks,� according to reporting by
The Post and other news organizations.

Worst of all, internal polls from the RNC and his reelection campaign
showed him trailing former vice president Joe Biden, the likely
Democratic nominee, in swing states:

Aides described Trump as in a particularly foul mood last week because
of the polling data and news coverage of his administration’s response
to the pandemic, according to two of the people familiar with the
discussions. In one call, he berated [campaign manager Brad] Parscale
over the polling data, the two people said.

Other reports describe Trump “shouting� or “erupt[ing]� at Parscale and
blaming the campaign manager for his poor standing, because it couldn’t
possibly be Trump’s own fault. “I am not f---ing losing to Joe Biden,�
he reportedly said. Yet the reality is that he will probably trail Biden
in polls from here to November, though that doesn’t mean he’s going to lose.

Says it all doesn't it.
A lot depends on whether he can get the economy going again in spite
of all the road blocks and irrational fears the democrats can stir up
between now and then.
If there was going to be a problem with having the election, it would
be in the states the democrats are expected to carry because they are
also in the top states for Covid infections and deaths. As much fun as
you have with the death of a preacher or two, the bulk of the deaths
are among Hillary voters.

CNN is paying a lot of people to say all these states are opening too soon.

Everyone who sells TV advertising wants this lock down to go on
forever. There were probably more people in that coveted 18-35
demographic watching TV last month than at any time in the history of
the Nielsens.

Might not be true for a lot of companies. Northern California fishing
newspaper is on hiatus. Since most of the advertisers are closed, no
spending for advertising. Also, the papers suppliers are shutting down.

Sort of like one of the most watched ads ever. Cheryl Tigg and the
bicycle rides falling in the fountain. Most could remember the ad.
Almost no one knew what she was selling. How much disposable money will
be available to buy those products on TV? Lots will remember the ads, just
not able to buy.

Even in a coolie wage state like Florida with a $275 a week
unemployment payment, the 600 from the feds still gets you up around
$50k a year and for a lot of 18-35 people that is a nice raise.
