I think corona plays slightly to Trumps hand, even if indirectly...

While it may be advantageous in the short term financially to offshore alot of manufacturing, when SHTF and international commerce seizes it opens up alot of vulnerabilities. Contrary to the thinking of the open borders, one world type, national boundaries still matter. National self interest isnt going anywhere... if one takes that as the premise, then it makes sense to ensure vital industries, and important natural resource are kept viable at home.

If china shits the bed, "america first" is going to look prescient.

Even if economy swan dives, do you go with trump, or the team trump has derided as swampy globalists?

Been a few elections in Europe and all have stayed left basically except uk.
France have elections as often as they wave a white flag and a lot of hurrah from right nationalist parties but 5hey never get up. Sweden the same. Denamark similar.



Canada I said once during you last election a view from a political commentator touring the country east to west said Canada is unique in voting demographics and ideals compared to most western countries.
Complementary or critical who knows.

A nation can survive a left-leaning government, although it be damaged by it.

A nation cannot survive a leftist media controlled by a leftist government any more than one controlled by a fascist government.

Exhibit A - Nazi Germany

Exhibit B - Soviet Union

On trial - Exhibit C -China

Bloomberg may not get Sanders voters, but if Killary joins as running mate .... they may support him . It may well be the Dems only real choice against Trump in their minds . Time will tell. Rich Dems won’t vote Bernie , but collage students / millennials love him . But they both most likely will support Bloom / Clinton.
Will be interesting to watch play out.

Looks like Bloomberg isn’t interested in the rural vote after badmouthing farmers this weekend.

Farmers are a bunch of hayseeds. I'm sure our Liberals share this view:
