Usually, a president who delivered seven million new jobs and a historically low unemployment rate can run for re-election on his economic program. Unfortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic destroyed the economy. Thus, President Trump’s masterful stewardship of the economy is no longer apparent as Americans struggle to deal with economic lockdowns, virus mandates, and high unemployment.
As the nation returns to lockdown mode again with an increase in virus numbers, economic progress will be curtailed. This issue is no longer the president’s best way to win re-election.

I don't believe we are headed for lockdown again. I think Trump said "never again" and I believe he meant it. I live in Florida where the numbers are supposedly highest of anywhere. Most of us who live here don't believe it, and as far as I can see, our economy is chugging along nicely. Stores are open for business as are Restaurants. Bars are closed, but that is happening all over. People are going about their business. Nobody is sitting home in Lockdown. I believe some folks would like to see us lockdown again, but Personally I don't see that happening ever again!!

If law and order does not win this election, then be prepared to have west-coast Portlands all over the country.
Not a pretty sight.

FTA: 'Lightfoot fired back, calling McEnany a “Karen,” which is a racial slur against white women.' Somebody should tell Wookie Goldberg, whose real name is Karen.

While I agree this is an issue that can and will benefit the President because his is the only sane voice on this subject and the American people know it. It is not the only issue, however. There are many that appeal to Americans. He can rebuild the economy and we know it. Joe Biden only offers malaise and zero hope of improvement. The President has a winning message with his America first policy. I hope he dwells on his vision of this country. While he does need hard hitting ads, the ads he puts out that are most effective are those uplifting messages extolling the unparalleled accomplishments of this country and its people. The democrats do nothing but tear the country down and people are sick of it. When we look around the world and down through history, we know this country is exceptional, but the rabid left hates the thought of that. I am no political consultant but I would urge the President to offer a positive outlook on where he knows the country can go and where he can take it along with a few good zingers. Lay out what the administration has done and give credit to others. Keep “I” to a minimum and never ever fail to tell us the best is yet to come. I love that line. Democrats expect him to get down and dirty. Be the happy warrior who stands between the American people and a country ruled by democrat failure, chaos, and corruption. Use humor, it is a powerful tool that the President can wield very well.
My concern is not the President but the wimpy Republicans who cannot see that they have the winning agenda for such a time like this. They should be out there everyday promising prosperity, law and order, opportunities for every American and stand proudly behind this President. Some are so clueless that they can’t even rouse themselves to recognize the danger we are in now, The 2020 Election is a watershed moment In our history. We either fight to save the Republic or we hand it over to a bunch of anti-American Marxists because if they defeat this President, we will never recover from the destruction.

Not just the "wimpy" Republicans, #4. There may be more than a few caught up in the Epstein sex ring mess. We'll have to see how that all shakes out.

A lockdown is not going to happen....President Trump warned us there would be flair ups...exactly what we are witnessing now... we are all responsible for washing our hands, wearing masks in enclosed areas, and staying six feet away from each other... nothing has changed......more cases being found due to more testing....

The Democrats are doing what they did in 1860--fighting the U.S. federal government.
The Portland riots of 52 days are paid for by the Dems, their KKK = BLM and American Islamic groups.
Tom Fitton says you cannot donate to BLM. Instead the money goes to Act Blue, a Democrat org.

First of all, the economy was not destroyed, the correct term would be "setback." My retirement IRA is higher now than it was in January so with due sympathy for those who suffered financially, I'm back on track now. The unemployment funds provided and the billions in business loans should put all but the most fragile back on their feet. Stop the lockdowns and open small businesses and we will cruise to full recovery by November. Open the public schools so parents who can not afford day care can get back to work. The biggest blow has been to the national debt but government on either side of the aisle seems to ignore that.

Law and order and get out to do some Airport rally's. How about rally's in minor league ball fields. They are not being used for baseball. Plenty of room to social distance, it is outdoors and can hold a large crowd.

FTA.- Usually a President who delivered seven million new jobs and a historically low unemployment rate can run for re-election on his economic program. Exactly! That is why I am becoming increasingly convinced the Democrats in premeditated collusion with the CCP unleashed this calamity on us. The subsequent unjustified shutdown of the economy imposed by their agents from the CDC to governor and mayoral mansions. The show fits too comfortably.

#4 speaks for me. I would also add that the dims' propaganda machine aka the msm has successfully fitted some Americans with a pair of election-year political blinders. This prevents them from seeing the big picture and the turmoil ginned by the left and the msm.
The President should very effectively remind Americans of the true potential inherent in each individual that translates into the Nation's true potential. Such positive reinforcement is powerful and reassuring and will go a long ways to strengthening American confidence in the American dream.
We are being told by the msm that the economy was destroyed by a mishandled pandemic. It is not destroyed. Temporarily slowed perhaps. Mishandled by the President? No way. Considering that the President had to work with a corrupt CDC, NIH, msm, and dim party, he has navigated the country through the pandemic fairly well at the National level. However, some states and dim governors are a different matter.
Indeed, law and order must win. Which brings to mind a law and order issue still lingering in the back of my mind. The results of AG Barr's and Counsel Durham's Spygate investigation and subsequent grand jury indictments, trials and prison terms. Still waiting.

The Left's "progressive" ideas are a malignant cancer now in the body of the USA --- and it is spreading! Our local garden club sent out a newsletter cancelling our annual event and suggested everyone just shelter in their own gardens to relax and get away from the"horrendous killings" taking place in America because of "systemic racism"! Think about that. How insidious that BLM (Bolsheviks Leading Morons) nastiness can infect a bunch of little old ladies growing roses.
Law & Order goes down the path being walked by Trump --- chaos rules the other way. Send a message in November that it all must stop and now!
Locals Dem politicians are catching the bug too, by shutting schools, churches, etc. so vote them out too. A clean sweep is needed. Never mind reaching out to the other side.

The democrats need a lockdown again. That way, mail-in voting is the only way all the oppressed people can vote. They could still go to the liquor store, but couldn't go to a polling place!

I agree with #10, as what occurred first with the Chinese Communists covertly allowing their very contagious COVID virus to be exported from China into the USA, clearly the Chinese Government knew that there would be high death rates among the US elderly, and very high numbers of cases among the uncontrolled and undisciplined population groups throughout the USA, that would damage the US economy, leading to what they hope will be Trump, who has been tough on China ripping off the USA, being removed from office and replaced by Biden who has said that he does not consider China to be a legitimate competitor to the US economy or a general threat to the USA.
Remember Biden’s candidacy was engineered to the top in the Democrat Primaries by way of racial politics in South Carolina. Now all of a sudden we have experienced the Antifa and Black Lives Matter “peaceful protests” that are really unlawful riots that have the mission of politically transforming the USA into some sort of socialist utopia, clearly very friendly to China, and China’s efforts to buy into and take over financially weakened or outright bankrupt US corporations for a song and kickbacks.
Clearly Biden is suffering from age related cognitive decline and does not know which way is up if he is not reading from a TelePrompTer or some other engineered device that is situated behind the TV cameras during Biden’s so-called campaign appearances. It’s fool’s gold to believe that Biden at this time in his life could be a competent President while having to negotiate for the USA against very aggressive and clever world leaders, or to command the strategic US nuclear force. In essence Biden would be but a figurehead for whoever Omaha and the Democrat Super Delegates select as the Democrat Vice-Presidential nominee, no doubt that person will be someone who has been very close to Obama politically in the past, and someone Obama knows will reinstall all the old failed Obama political policies back into the White House and the US Government at large. Remember Obama has said that he favors the very efficient Government of China over the likes of the disorganized and money hungry DC UniParty that has been running DC unopposed until Trump was elected.
Look for the liberal media that is a propaganda arm of the leftist and liberal Democrats to start fraudulently presenting Biden as more conservative than Trump during the run up to the November election.
All anyone can do is vote in the very important November election.

It worked in 1968. People recoiled from the racial violence and burning an looting in many of the big cities, and even with George Wallace winning five southern states (46 electoral college votes!), Nixon, as the law and order candidate, won easily over the relatively moderate and non-senile Hubert Humphrey. Nixon wasn't personally very popular, and turned out to do a LOT of serious harm to the country because he was actually somewhat of a leftist himself (created EPA, froze prices and wages, handled the Arab oil embargo badly, and much more).
But the point it, that when the cities are burning, people are not comfortable supporting the side which is responsible for the burning. People want law and order, and THEN we can discuss what the issues may be, and what might be needed. AFTER we have calm and no violence.
If Wallace hadn't been running, I would bet that Nixon would have had a huge landslide. As it was, he won
with 301 EC votes. Some may argue that the "solid South" in those days was all Democrat, and if Wallace hadn't taken those states, Humphrey would have won them. I don't think so. Florida, SC, NC, VA, Tennessee and Kentucky all went for Nixon, and I think the Wallace states would have also. But that's 'alternate history' and of no real value.
Trump will win on law and order, I am confident.

Most people, unless they’re brain dead, are fully aware of what happened to the economy and why. Trump is being ‘pummeled’ by the usual people in the media who twist everything against Trump. He didn’t invest the Wuhan virus. His biggest mistake was putting Fauci in charge, who turned out to be an incompetent political hack.

Random thoughts while reading the thread...
A thriving economy depends upon Law and Order, and an expectation that one will be able to enjoy the fruits of one's labors. Short that, no growing economy.
The parallels between 2000 and 1980 are striking. PT can win by releasing his inner Reagan. The American people will respond when reminded that America is a much different place than claimed by the Left.
The GOPe has always been PT's enemy.
Small business is hurting, big time. Wall Street is not Main Street.
2020 echos the 1960s. The Left trashes our institutions and hollow men stand in defense. If our society to be saved it must be done by us.
