re: #70 Dr Lizardo

Without the COVID pandemic and his utter failure to deal with it, I’d say Trump would’ve stood a somewhat decent chance at re-election.

I honestly don’t. I think the reasons for the impeachment would have been a lot of the talk of the cycle. I do agree that he would have a better shot without Covid but IMO his inability and lack of interest in expanding beyond his base is why. I also think part of it was just numbers. Four consecutive two term Presidents just seemed unlikely and the economy was showing some signs of slipping too even before Covid. We’ll never know obviously but I really think that Trump would still be in trouble even without Covid.
