That would be a good tactic for the dems, but, I would also advise Trump to ask the old "are you better off now than you were 4 years ago. " I think the dems made some political hay when Trump was trying to allay the anxiety so as not to cause a panic. Of course Trump made his usual stupid statements, and the dems took full advantage of them. That's politics. As far as the Pandemic being his "Katrina", I doubt it. He acted pretty quickly. If one was a Trump voter because of the economy, even if it takes a tumble until the pandemic is under control, they won't want to bring back the days of corporate tax hikes and draconian regulations. Keep in mind, middle class wages went up for the first time in years. Ya never know though. But do you think old uncle Joe would be a trail blazer in this case?
I think Biden's slogan should be, "Back to normalcy with steady and reliable leadership." If Trump is relying on the economy, nothing else that is a huge mistake. Unlike Reagan who had built up a ton of good will among Americans that helped him survive Iran-Contra in good shape. Trump hasn't built up any. There's no reserve for him. If this coronavirus hangs around, good economy or not, that could easily be doom to Trump. He's not liked much as it is.
I think the midterms was a good indication of how being the distasteful old coot he is was a good example. There was no Hillary around to save him or the GOP house. Hillary isn't around this time either. I do think people see Biden as a safe bet. Perhaps not the ideal candidate they want or wanted, but safe and reliable. I also think Sanders would be the ideal candidate for Trump to beat. But that is only my opinion. Perhaps I'm not the only one who thinks that, those over at the DNC seems to come to the same conclusion.
