I used to believe that Covid would benefit the Democrats, but no more, why?

[K9Buck]

Because the Democrats completely fubared their response.  The governors of Michigan and Pennsylvania gift-wrapped their states to Trump based on their extreme over-reactions.  

Thanks Dems!

COVID is not an issue.   If it were people would not be out and around others and it would not be spreading.   Americans are not real concerned about it.   Biden and Harris want it to be so but the truth is no.

Zig, I think you are wrong here. Some are curled up in a ball of fear, some are over the top stupid and think it is a worldwide hoax. There are plenty on each side and in between. COVID fear may be overblown but it is a net loss given he hosted a spreading event. 

If fat ass Chris Christie can survive it, one must be super freaking fat to get COVIDâ€d.

Yea-I think it attacks really unhealthy people or people that have pre-existing health conditions at a alarming pace. Your right if Cristie survived most people can survive cause lets face he is not the bill of health example.

The MSM obviously thinks they can sway the sheep on the Covid issue.  This week they are doing non-stop coverage of it claiming massive outbreaks all over the country and of course the narrative is Trump just isn't taking it seriously and Biden will fix it the day he takes office.  It is hilarious that as usual, the entire MSM is on the exact same page with this.  Joe Biden taking bribes from China? Not even a second of coverage.  All Covid, all the time.

Few are curled up in a ball.  Take a look at people out and about and take a look at Trump rallies.   Again, it's not a huge issue for voters UNLESS you are a Biden guy.   Anyone with common sense knows a president can't control this thing any better than Trump did shutting down the border/travel from China back in January and not sending the nation into a huge panic.  We already had people freaking with toilet paper etc.  If Trump would have had national TV telecast WARNING the nation this is so deadly millions would die the country would have had pandemonium.    You think looting is bad now?   There would have been wide spread HORDING of food, etc and people refusing to work.  It would have been disaster.  His work with gaining PPE and ventilator production was really sound.   I'm not so sure on the fatality numbers being all died FROM COVID.  I'm sure many died WITH IT and having it was last straw.   Again, if Americans were super concerned it would not be spreading like crazy.  Same with Europe.

It's like most things. Too many people stake out extremes. I do see people practically paralyzed with fear. They're a minority but they are there. Then I see the it's a hoax and no big deal contingent. Neither are right. Like with most common sense resides somewhere closer to the middle. We need to control this as it is very dangerous. But we do not need to go over the top and do more harm than the virus does in response. A national shut down? Absurd. Go about our business taking no action to mitigate the spread? Equally absurd. 
Get the curve low enough to handle and stay open as much as possible without overwhelming the healthcare system. That will take action from all of us but shouldn't result in a shut down.

Iâ€m not exactly in the hoax crowd, but I would say that there seems to be a lot of vested interest in fanning the flames of drama/fear.  Thatâ€s pretty much been the case from the word go.  The fact cases “spiked” in the week leading up to the election?  Lol.  Color me not shocked...  at all.

If the media didn't hype it up, nobody would give 2 shits

The Democrats badly want Covid to be an issue. Badly. The majority of Bidenâ€s attacks on Trump are over covid. But I suspect many see thru that.

Trump has underplayed it and the Dems have overplayed it. I don't know if Biden's testing and shutdown mantra has helped or hurt him. I will say his plan doesn't make any sense. Trump's plan seems to be to string it along until we get a vaccine. Reasonable if, big if, the curve stays under healthcare capacity.  I don't know whether that helps or hurts him. Those approaches will play to the bases but it's the middle/independents that will decide the election and I don't know where they are on this.

Trump overplayed it, but it was because he didn't have a choice because there were too many fear mongers running around.

Fact- we shouldn't have changed 1 iota of our lifestyles.

Of course they do but If the independents broke fully for Trump this would not be a close election so I don't know to what extent Trump's or Biden's views regarding handling the pandemic is effecting their vote.
