Declarations that Trump is "dead" politically could end up being a primary reason he ends up winning.

His simple lie -- that his travel ban on China kept the Chinese virus out and saved us from a far worse fate -- has more "legs" than the truth. It sounds reasonable to anyone who doesn't know or fully understand how the failures in the first, most critical, seven weeks were devasting. This is a case were a more complex truth could win over the simple lie. No matter how bad it gets, it would have been worse without his ban. His supporters will buy it, and they won't be the only ones.
