"The difference between stupidity
and genius is that genius has its limits."
--Alexandre Dumas-fils
My dad now believes the corona virus epidemic is being blown out of proportions and the media is using this as a tool to tank the economy to take down trump.
These are the people who follow him.
yep. My senior housing company is basically advising to stop all direct mailers / print ads / events etc (expensive marketing) because there won't be any return on it for the foreseeable future. At least Bloomberg will give media companies some good first quarter financials. Hard to make a sale when the prospective resident isn't allowed to even visit the community at this time. Video tours are fine, but that doesn't beat physically being there yourself walking around and seeing it.

2 mar-a-lago members who were at the property when Trump was tested positive now.
Legitimately what in the fuck was that Press Conference.
"No, I don’t take responsibility at all.”
Biden is going to smash his skull with that particular rock. I can't wait for the swing-state ads.
"Lost a loved one to Coronavirus?"
"Trump: No, I don’t take responsibility at all.”
"Cant get tested for Coronavirus?"
"Trump: No, I don’t take responsibility at all.”
"Lost your savings and retirement in the stock market crash?"
"Trump: No, I don’t take responsibility at all.”
"Can't pay your healthcare bills after you got sick?"
"Trump: No, I don’t take responsibility at all.”
"Keeping America Great?"
"Trump: No, I don’t take responsibility at all.”
It's a line that's just tailor made to fit any ad of any size, shape, or duration.
Seriously, I'm expecting some of the never-Trump groups to roll hard with this. I hope Democrats follow suit and step up their ad-game in a big way this time.

This administration is going to kill thousands, if not millions of Americans.Contrary to Trump’s claim, Google is not building a nationwide coronavirus screening website
Instead, Verily is building a triage website just for the Bay Area
The key difference is Democrats are focused (obsessed?) with issues and focus their messaging in issues. Republican/Never-Trumpers learned a very long time ago that fear is an even more powerful electoral motivator. And they're entirely complimentary, which is why any good campaign does both types of adds. Typically though Democrats go more issue oriented and Republicans go more fear oriented.
With Biden, this is a killer opportunity to go with as even a balance as possible. Sure, message on issues. Put up what is being proposed and draw contrasts. And then hammer the point home with reminding folks how Donald Trump is going to wreck your life if he is President for 4 more years.
With this particular line, ad makers should be merciless with. Trump just handed them a loaded bazooka.
Due to Trump being a complete idiot, its pretty clear we need to rely on state and local authorities. The feds cant be counted on until someone that's actually competent is in office.
