Democratic Bile Will Reelect Trump
Voters will not react well to the Left’s celebratory response to the President’s illness.

The Democrats and their friends in the Fourth Estate could hardly believe their luck when the news broke that President Trump had contracted COVID-19. They clearly believe he is finished politically and that their Potemkin presidential candidate will now win the upcoming election in a walk. The following headline from Politico captures this collective delusion: “Biden looks to seal election after Trump’s week from hell.†This is precisely how they reacted to the Hollywood Access tape that was released at the same point in the 2016 presidential race. Most “experts†pronounced the Trump campaign dead and Hillary Clinton began measuring the drapes for the Oval Office.
One of the most poignant findings of that survey, by the way, was this: “Americans overwhelmingly reject the idea that presidents should isolate themselves from the citizenry for safety’s sake.â€
What none of these people bothered to do was calibrate the effect of the tape on Trump’s actual supporters. Consequently, we began to see headlines like this one published by CBS News on October 10, 2016: “Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by 14 points nationally.†This story attributed Clinton’s illusory lead to the “lewd comments about women in 2005.†By October 18, the RealClearPolitics average indicated that Clinton’s alleged lead in the national polls had grown to 7.1 percent. In the end, of course, Trump voters ignored the Hollywood Access tape and he had far more supporters in key battleground states than the pollsters and pundits imagined in their wildest nightmares.
