Erick, you've said on multiple prior occasions that Trump needs "messaging discipline". It hasn't happened and it won't happen. Trump has never exhibited that trait on Twitter or to media and he's not going to change. He doesn't have the temperament or the mental acuity. He's too unfit.

Two, Trump is not going to adequately address CV19 because he has never adequately addressed it. He has never taken this virus seriously. He might've mouthed some platitudes but then he went right back to his stupid, dangerous and false narratives. He keeps saying it'll go away, which is a hope, not a plan. Trump has no strategy, even turning his back on a 70-page CDC reopening plan.

With all the misinformation and disinformation Trump has spewed out since last January, he's literally killing the people who would vote for him, Herman Cain being one of them, which is why his unfortunate death was tragic and unnecessary. Trump is going to go down hard and it'll be of his own doing.

It won't be long after the electoral dust has settled when historians will conclude that Trump was one of the three worst presidents in our history, and it was this dysfunctional GOP that twice nominated him. Even worse, those Republicans who nominated this zero-character f*ck-up are still going to be around, deflecting blame and pretending that Trump wasn't so bad.

Three, I wish we can retain the Senate so that Biden will face divided government, but Trump's cratering performance in the wake of the pandemic will likely mean a clean sweep in November. What's more, yesterday Obama couldn't have signaled more clearly that Majority Leader Schumer will adios the filibuster completely, so the GOP is going to lose even more power in 2021.

Barring some cataclysmic blunder by Biden or other major event, I see nothing good happening for this party. I don't believe we'll have to wait 'til election day before the reckoning starts, and there should be a reckoning. I hate to sound like a Negative Nancy here, but that's what I'm seeing.
