DEAR POTUS, THE COUNTDOWN TO YOUR LOSING IN A LANDSLIDE HAS BEGUN (see attached state results from 2016)
Sir, you blew it. The only way to have prevented your losing in a landslide in November was to express support for the $600/wk. Federal unemployment benefit through December (Christmas) and your empathy and passionate support for its recipients and their families.
Having the perfect opportunity this afternoon, you choked.
You received 41% of the total votes cast by those making $30,000./yr or less in the 2016 election and a modestly higher percentage of those making less than $50,000. Those two income groups must make up 80%+ of those receiving the added benefit. You will most likely lose a super-majority of those voters from 2016 receiving that $600/wk. benefit.
You needed to distance yourself from Republicans both in the House and Senate that have suggested cutting the benefit to $200.
Majority Leader McConnell and others suggest that it keeps people from working. Just exactly where are those jobs in a -34% GDP, Majority Leader McConnell? Mr. President, how could you have aligned yourself with such a detachment from reality? Mr. President, you pissed off your re-election.
There is nothing that you can possibly do in the next three months to win now.
Your silly political statements and blaming Speaker Pelosi have fallen on deaf ears. Democrats have had a bill on the table with the extension open for discussion for more than two months.
Oblivious, you ignored those whom are truly desperate during very shitty times in their lives.
Multi-trillion dollar stimulus for your only 'accomplishment' - the stock market - and its components, letting corporate America go from paying 11% of total tax revenues to 7%. Reconcile?
The seismic shift in every poll started today.
You will lose every close state that you won in 2016 (see attached) and some others that seem safe.
It may not be a 1972 or 1984, but it will be deservedly severe.
VP Biden should not debate you. He doesn't have to now.
Best of luck in the real estate development and casino biz in the coming decade.
