He's really stuck his neck out this time, because neither a captive Senate nor a captive Justice Department can make the coronavirus go away if it spreads as scientists in the wild expect it to. He'll try to label everything that doesn't come from Pence as false news, but the day his base realizes that it's dying of terminal Democratic hoax will be a bad one for him. Tough question: Considering the possible consequences of things going in either direction, do we want him to be right or wrong?
The potential upside — in probably the most perverse way possible — is that those who believe that Covid-19 is a "Democratic hoax" will take no counteractive measures to prevent infection, thereby potentially removing them from the electoral process. So sad. Bigly.
Bigly.
