IF there would happen to be an outbreak here in the USA, might the Dem candidate for POTUS use it against Trump politically? And, would mass media blame Trump?

Could COVID-19 affect the POTUS election 2020?

They'll blame him for stock market downturns caused by the outbreak.

Well obviously people who cannot count votes in a caucus are much better able to protect the country from things like this.

They will try when it happens but it won’t work.

It certainly won't stop the media from blaming him.

Stop incoming travel from China - xenophobia

Let it come in from China - incompetence

There's literally no scenario where he's not blamed.

They blame him for world hunger
They blame him for ingrown nails
They blame him for stepping in dog shite

They (the MSM) have blamed him for everything since the assassination of JFK. None of it has worked, neither will this.

They are already trying to do so. The current narrative is that it's Trump's fault for gutting the CDC.

It's bullshite but when has that ever stopped a left winger from lying?

Ebola freakout in 2014 absolutely helped Republicans. Obama was being accused of not keeping us safe.

It will hurt open the border proponents like the liberal azz dems who wouldn't mind if thousands of infected persons crossed into the US every day.

Forget "if"...it's no way they can keep the lid on this stuff; spreading across the Globe like wildfire.

Trump had better be on it; ramping up production of anti-virals, IF we have any production mechanisms left.

Listened to Rush today, and he thinks it's all a ploy, designed to hurt Trump. Said it wasn't worse that the normal Flu, with symptoms like a Cold. Of course, the normal Flu kills a lot. Also heard that it should slow down when the weather heats up.

Sanders is a delusional idiot. No way people vote that yahoo in, in a time where things are on the edge.

Rush is a moron if he thinks this is all some massive ploy to get Trump. And this shite is way worse than the flu and people spouting this nonsense are dangerous.

No, because he's doing what he can to stop the spread.

Nope. Trump ought to be talking national security from a supply chain disruption point of view. Use this to further justify why the US needs more manufacturing at home instead of importing.

Most people aren’t aware of the supply chain disruptions that are happening at this very moment. Medical supplies have been hit hard.

The rate of infection is already declining in China. The countries it’s spread to have the infrastructure to deal with it. S Korea tested 20k people and only 800 tested positive.

And yes, the flu kills more people.

Even the most pessimistic estimates have this going away by the end of next month.

katrina:bush = corona:trump

the first chapter in this narrative is being written right now, regardless of validity.

his tweet about this today is focused on stock pumping. there is little he can do to prevent corona showing up here but holy crap do i wish he would stop tying everything to stocks. playing with fire there.

i'm also not a fan of the way he's been praising Xi in tweets about how china has this under control. they never did, still dont, and fudge all of their numbers. meh.
