The Dow is on track for its worst weekly slide since the 2008 financial crisis

Absolutely. But none of those things are unique to Trump, even if they are on the rise.

Hoping for a pandemic combined with a recession, to get rid of Trump? That’s not cool.

When it comes down to it, we the people, and whoever ends up challenging Trump, need to beat him on the merits (which are plentiful) rather than an accident of timing of bad shit.

I think more progressive candidates are best suited both to beat him, and to get the country back on the right track. We will need a huge effort to fix the damage from the Trump administration. It can’t be mishandled like Reconstruction was, with too much compromise going on with the people who caused the damage in the first place. I fear that is what we will get with any of the moderates in the race.
