The Senate is looking increasingly in play for Democrats, as Trump’s horrifying inability to respond with a modicum of seriousness to the pandemic continues to drain support from the Republican Party, and, not incidentally, to kill people at a rate of thousands per day. Trump’s push to reopen the country appears driven by a simple political calculus: Opening the country will lead to a surge of deaths, but, from a political perspective, it’s better for Trump if those deaths occur now rather than closer to the election, giving the economy time to improve. I know that sounds sociopathic, but there is simply no other plausible logic to it.
And you say there are no heroes left
And you say there are no heroes left
