How Will Republicans Explain Away A Loss in 2020?

[SN2903]

We won't lose.

Unemployment is already declining.  Many on here spoke way too soon. Trump is going to win again.

Unemployment is still higher than it was at its worst point during the Great Recession.

If the perception is it is recovering and faster than expected Biden is toast. The dow could def go to 35k the way it is going. If peoples 401ks are up and the economy is recovering Biden has no chance.

The economy was hot in 2018, and Republicans still lost the House.

Trump will get major credit leading us through a pandemic with a fast recovery though. This is exactly what he needed right now.

There's a constructive question for you, SN.  What does this do for control of the House in your opinion?

I think it tightens things up in the House. I don't see the GOP being able to win back the house this year but they could pick up a few seats.

3 crisis's in as many months- COVID, the economic collapse and the death of George Floyd.

Although that isn't that far from the truth and he wasn't directly responsible for any of them, Trump did not respond to these well after 3 years of smooth peace and prosperity where he faced no real emergencies. 

What partisan Republicans should remember is that Trump's re-election prospects were never that strong to begin (at best 60%) with before COVID with Biden as the nominee.  Democrats got extremely lucky that Biden won the nomination. 

Not really. He was just the least bad but still bad. He's not a good candidate.
