It still is. If he and all of his supporters knew that he was positive before the debate, then this is a Jonestown level kool-aid event. They know the jig is up, and they have no way out.
But if everyone is reeling from a mass outbreak right here at home, after its all over, they can claim to have been pivotal in getting us through, and can spin whatever seems favorable to them as were picking up the pieces.
Knowingly passing along a potentially fatal virus? Willfully? Aside from the morally repugnant aspect that is going to register with many voters, Id imagine theres even some legal nuances here that can be shaken out.
But the timing here sucks for them, from the SCOTUS nomination to the election itself, its time to be very concerned about what they potentially will do next. Because theyve shown what they really care about and what theyre prepared to do to get their way. Unless there was any question that they believed in honor, in fair play, in what the constitution represents, their actions of late have removed all doubt.
They dont care about America, they only want their theocracy.
They dont care about you, only they matter (true sociopaths).
They have no honor, and will lie, cheat, steal, and kill to get their way.
What atrocity are they preparing to retain their grip on power? You can bet its in the works, its coming.

Education didnt work, they wont be learnimified.
I dont get how the herd immunity plan was a go when it was apparent from the start that half the population was going to take precautions - and from their political standpoint, the wrong half.
Theyre not smart enough to approach it from Thanos perspective.
