How about
1) been honest from day 1 about the severity and impact, not trying to play it down as he himself admits.
2) not disparage mask wearing, which inhibits transmission. We’ll also put not having events where thousands of unmasked people gather in this category.
3) not undermine the efforts of the experts in his administration trying to provide guidance to the public.

I could go on, but I have other things to do.

He’s done virtually nothing to help the situation and has actively worked against those that are.

This is all so true, but you have an entire party either ignorant, willfully ignorant, or in denial. There is a pathology at work here that is built on a foundation of propaganda and groupthink.

BS - You're not even close to being a conservative. Even a moderate would not vote for the D party platform....

Nice try though.

I'm not sure if CD just skews alt-right, but I know plenty of republicans who have Biden signs in their front yard. Joe Biden is most assuredly more conservative than DJT. If you can't see that then you probably shouldn't be discussing politics with anyone.

Harris still didn't kill tens of thousands of not hundred of thousands of Americans like Trump has by mishandling the pandemic.

You didn't see how much worse it would have been under Hillary of Biden, but look at Cuomo and Whitmer if you want some idea.
Actually things are going better in NY and MI than say FL or SD.

1. Numb nuts, it didn't "play it down". You called him a xenophobic for taking it seriously .when he implanted the China ban in January
2. Dr. Fauci and the Surgeon General said NOT THAT LONG AGO masks weren't necessary.
3. If anyone "underestimated" the virus, Dr Fauci did by saying in January no one should feel threatened by it.

even big business leaders are choosing Biden over Trump 3-to-1. They know that if this train wreck continues to play out for another 4 years, they might have to move to China or Canada. They know that Trump has become the swamp, and only cares about his stock-dumping GOP friends in the Senate.

If you're voting for Biden, you're NOT a conservative. Do kid yourself.

Even if he ends up with an 8-8 record we can say it's still a disgrace and we can groom another QB. We can have an actual authentic republican candidate ready for the next election. This Trump experiment is a complete and utter failure and we must abandon ship. Trump is galvanizing groups like BLM and other liberal movements. These groups are strong because Trump antagonizes them. He doesn't have a scintilla of diplomacy. He's not even a conservative. I don't know how we allowed him to just hijack our party like this. America is in dire situations because of Trump. Stop deceiving yourself and vote Biden. A vote for Biden is just a punt. A stratagem. A chess move. We will eventually get the ball back.
First of all, I have nothing but your word that you're a Republican. And you have nothing but my word that I am neither and generally have equal contempt for both parties. That has shifted of late, with the Democrats endorsing completely insane ideas. If we're going with the football analogy, the current QB -- who is as fake a Republican as you've ever seen before -- was hanging 21 points on the board in the first, second and third quarters of the game. Granted, he's like Terrell Owens. He's a guy who you'd love to have on your team for getting the job done, but you desperately want to duck tape his mouth shut.

Black Lives Matter and Antifa gained legitimacy and power under Barack Obama and Joe Biden. As they're trying to burn down the whole damn country, Kamala the Horrible and her brain dead meat puppet are cheering them on, encouraging people to give them money and gushing praises all over them. Do you think a President Kamala is going to stop them? They're too busy trying to convince these psychotic little terrorists to vote for them! Why would they lift a finger to try to stop them?

Do you think that the VP from the administration where three out of four years were the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression, or would you put in the guy whose management of the economy had the economy soaring to heights everyone insisted were impossible before he took office? Which one do you trust to bring the economy back from mess the Chinese Kung Flu made? Which one can you trust to put America first and China, Mexico, the Middle East and other countries a distant second? Which one is more likely to get us into another foreign war? Who is more likely to bring home the troops from all of the 170+ nations where US military is currently stationed? Trump has been trying to get us out of Iraq, Germany, Afghanistan and other countries. Establishment Republicans and Democrats like Biden and Horrible Harris have been fighting him tooth and nail about it.

I think you'd have to be crazy to bet on blue this year. Those people are completely insane. The thing the Democrats desperately need is to get absolutely crushed do they can abandon their bad ideas sooner rather than later.
