I don't think Trump understands he lost the election last night

So begins the long slow anticlimax and denouement before Biden admin.

DJIA at this point in Bush, Obama, Trump presidencies

At this point in their presidencies (3 years and about 2 months) here’s how DJIA grew or declined:

Bush -4.9%

Obama +65.1%

Trump +6.7%

The graph of the other two showed nothing but up and to the right for Obama whereas Bush had another major financial meltdown in his future.

Trump declines look nowhere near over.

DJIA isn’t meaningful when looking at how day today folks are doing, but Trump has harped and harped on this so there you go.

We are about 1600 points from DJIA returning to level at beginning of Trump term

Which means there is a real possibility we will be at net negative stock market valuations for the Trump presidency by next week.

Trump is still in denial--he cannot beat COVID19 with his usual crap

And it is slowly slowly dawning on this pack of thieves and embiciles that this virus only slightly larger than Trump’s diseases brain is going to send us into recession, create massive outbreak with 10’s or 100’s if thousands of infections and thousands of deaths.

I agree with others that COVID19 scared people

So that some who might not have voted (even some independents and R’s where states allow them in primaries) said, “this is as serious as a Bernie Sanders heart attack!”

Recent Dem primaries have coinciding with worsening Coronavirus outbreak and their view of Trump’s absolutely psychotic and damaging response to it.

Biden is a great man in his own right, but the fear of another 4 years of this has people flocking to him.

Let's all please stick together. As Robert Reich just said

Paraphrasing:

When a Sanders supporter attacks Biden, it increases likelihood of a Trump victory

When a Biden supporter attacks Sanders, it increases likelihood of a Trump victory.

Argue and highlight policy differences all you want, but if our goal is Trump gone and Democratic president then we need to be respectful of one another.

Let’s look for the goodness in one another and help each other.
