This post is coronavirus related but since it is more political I make it in here and it will be a very unpopular comment but hey, that's me...

If the POTUS comes out and addresses the nation about how serious the Coronavirus is, that we are taking necessary precautions, etc then you can pretty much kiss this economy good-bye. And if the economy crashes and burns, then I present you the President of the United Socialist of American, Mr. Bernie Sanders.

What's truly unbelievable is here we are in the USA on the verge of nominating a Socialist.... a Socialist as one of the main parties presidential nominee.

I'm gonna have to disagree slightly with that. "IF" Bernie gets the nomination there is nothing that can derail Trump from winning re-election not even a global economic crash (and it will be global). In fact I will go as far as saying the GOP will sweep the white house, house or reps and the senate if Bernie is the nomineee

Man I tend to agree with you, but if the economy crashes and comrade Sanders having the liberal media on his side, it certainly could make it closer then it should be.
 
If India starts getting some of China's business from the US...I'm going to wonder how this virus emergency (one that we really are still so in the dark about) helps to make that happen...I think there is a bit of chess being played.

I'm not too sure about that. The economic crash is coming anyway, and at this rate, the virus will be the thing that'll cause it no matter what Trump says. China being plagued by the virus will hurt the world economy and already is. China plays too large of a role in the world economy to not influence everything. I think it'll make the race close, but I still expect Trump to win. I'd say it'll crash soonest after the election. We have 8 months until then so anything can happen. I think the best thing for Trump to do is double down on his great economy and start channeling money into American companies that do what is currently outsourced to China before they get crippled from the virus so much their economy comes down. They can keep the people in the cities but if it keep spreading out and around they'll have to fight the virus on 2 fronts.

Crash is a harsh word and one I disagree with. Correction? Perhaps, but crash? Thats a very bold statement. If we do have a correction it will be brief in my humble opinion and we have a business first administration in place to right the ship if/ when it strays off course

Remember, government spending hasn't stopped to decline. We should've stopped spending so much years ago after we recovered. You can't keep accelerating before hitting a brick wall. People are acting like debt is of little worry and that everything will be fine if we accumulate more and more because we'll make more from this great economy, but there's the economic cycle. The economic cycle doesn't care how you feel or how great your economy is now. It will dip, and if measures aren't taken beforehand to soften the blow, it'll be a crash.

No offense but I've been hearing that since the 80's. Dont get me wrong, I would like to see wasteful spending under control but I dont believe our current economic prosperity is in danger of crashing due to debt
 
I’m in shock at how much spending on housing/roads is going on in Mooresville-Statesville. Those politicians down there are really investing in their towns compared to like Mount Airy or Wilkesboro. The i40/i77 work continues in the rain/snow/night and apartments are springing up like crazy. Its taking 5 to 10 years to fix the Taco Bell sink hole pipe in Wilkesboro.
 
Trump is gonna win in a landslide. I do however believe Bernie is the only person that can give him a slight challenge. I also think Bernie is smart enough to avoid picking someone dumb for VP like Hillary Clinton that other dems would do.

If the crash is based on the coronavirus and not directly tied to trumps policies then I think people turn to him to help correct what was a "natural disaster".
 
I actually watched the whole thing. I felt like I was watching SNL. Out of control and confusing. Did I hear Biden use the term Tommy come lately? Isn't it Johnny come lately? Maybe that was clever though since he was talking to Tom. LOL. I swear I heard him call the NRA the NRI. All the pandering was just pathetic. If I had to call a winner (besides Trump) it would be Amy but she's radical too. Bloomberg did better this time but still oh so cardboard like. Bernie looked like a monkey waving them arms around so much. Pete looked like he was in class. Oh Liz, lying as usual. Tom thought he should be the first to bring up reparations. I declare. I have never seen anything like it. Corona = Bring down Trump before he brings them down. They have nothing else at this point. Lot's going on and it's going to get way more interesting. ? ?
