I’m a senior and honestly feel that President Trump is the best in my lifetime. Countless people I know speak of their love for our President. I’ve never heard people refer to any President in those words.

Easily the best in our lifetimes, possibly the best ever.

On the other hand, our MSM is being exposed as the worst ever.

His response has been timely, considered, and appropriate all the way through -- it is the Demwits who TRIED to create the crisis, and now find they're taking well-deserved criticism while our President calmly and resolutely leads.

Trump is now getting credit with the suburban moms for keeping them and their kids safe.

Remember 2004, how Bush got credit with suburban moms for keeping their families safe from Islamic Whackadoodles? That is now swinging in Trump’s direction as well.

It he carries the suburban vote, this is a massive landslide.”

——VERY-—— good point about the suburban moms!

They will never admit that Trump’s popularity is because he is doing the right things and doing it well. It’s always something else. People are stupid, people are bigots, Trump is running a reality show, Trump is fooling people, pollsters are lying.. or whatever else.

I disagree with this characterization of the VP. Pence has performed superbly in this situation; he is not boring, just Midwestern shyness. He should be the 2024 nominee; no one should challenge him for the nomination. This assumes a big if, if the Trump ticket wins again.

IMO Trump is waiting for just the right moment to expose the MSM as traitors of America, enemies of the people.

He will wait until he has maximum leverage against them and strike like a thunderbolt!

"How Donald Trump Has Turned the Pandemic to His Advantage"

I don't like this headline. In my view, Trump's handling of the pandemic has been good, which has bolstered his rating, to his advantage.

The wording of the headline implies that he has manipulated opinion through his handling of the pandemic, but implies to me his goal was the favorable opinion, whereas it was really slowing the pandemic. My 2¢.

I don't know about spectator.org. Maybe that was their intention?

Perhaps my imagination runs away w/ me....but the periscope scene with the empty SF waterfront echos today’s situation. And some of the choices, the thin line between life and death.

Contemporary questions. Hard answers. FWIW

It is advantageous to act like a calm adult when you are surrounded by democrat and media yap dogs nipping at your heels, criticsizing your every move.

Good article with excellent satire taken to the edge, but not shoved off. I enjoyed it.
