Unemployed pocketbook voters won't be choosing any incumbent IMPotus

Unemployment could reach 32.1% or 47 million Americans according to TPM. Although estimates of future unemployment are difficult at this early stage.

A new estimate from economists at the St. Louis Fed project total COVID-19 Crisis employment reductions at 47 million people. That would translate into a 32.1% unemployment rate. To give some perspective that is significantly higher than the peak unemployment during the Great Depression (24.9%) and wildly higher than anything seen during the Great Recession (10%).

For all this though these are stunning numbers that put some estimates to the scale of a truly historic public health and economic crisis. - TPM

So the reason tRump is so willing to talk about 100,000 dead Americans on his watch as promising, is because he and his right-wing enablers have to distract from the pending republican created unemployment crisis.

and the same IQ. They usually watch Fux Ruse. People will vote for the GOP choice because they are being told to and have been for 40 years. My opinion of the average American voter is not high but it is realistic.
