Everyone I know thought the same things pistopete mentioned.
There are different ways to win something however. Trump doesn't really "need" this win.His out of office life is going to be just fine - better most likely. He showed a path to economic freedom to us all and we still have that mode without him in office.
I dont any credence to statements of "Trump says".
Who cares what he says? Go by what he did.
The pattern for a successful 4 years is there if the Dems want it. They have inherited an up and running military and a strong economy. Everything being done for the virus is all done - the infrastructure of drugs (including a vaccine) and respirators and masks and such. They just have to be handed out.
Besides, most viruses have an 18-month life span (give or take) when finally herd immunity and natural resistance render them less scary - this will happen soon and be on the new rulers watch. I'm sure the Dems will claim this as their victory even though it is merely natures timing.
Basically they have 48 months to show what theyve got. They will "say" (there's that word say again) a lot of negatives about Trump but lets see what they DO.
