92. Just the opposite. Repugs can't run away from 250,000...

pandemic deaths, a horribly bungled response to the virus, 40,000+ unemployed, 401ks depleted, trump afraid to confront Putin about bounties, this new depression, the white supremacy tweeting in response to the BLM protests—nah, it's not if the repugs lose, it's how bad.

Let's be real. If trump drops out whoever replaces him will lose too.	brush	Jun 2020	#64
No they wouldn't automatically lose.	live love laugh	Jun 2020	#65
Wouldn't automatically lose? What does that mean?	brush	Jun 2020	#67

Way too late for that...	lame54	Jun 2020	#5

I think that's very possible.	wnylib	Jun 2020	#99
Romney is their ace in the hole. He is on record as strongly anti-Putin	delisen	Jun 2020	#121
They still have to get deplorables to the polls to have a chance	jcgoldie	Jun 2020	#128
