So... I agree that if the shoe was on the other foot, the Republican party would not step in to help the situation. However, I also wonder if we aren't already at the point where Trump and the GOP are toast regardless. Has enough already happened that they have no chance in November?
It's a very fine line between the Republicans getting blamed and accidentally destroying the economy by holding out on another bailout. I don't know, I'm not an expert. But what I'm getting at is, if this situation is already bad enough to finish off Trump and the Republican Senate, then there's zero point in letting it get any worse.
Further, I imagine, if it gets bad enough, that will start to reduce the chances there even is an election. I'm worried about a collapse where the election gets "postponed." The current postponements of primaries WILL help the GOP if it gives Russian asset Bernie an excuse to stay in the race until July or August.
The Dems and Biden need to walk a very, very fine line here, and I think there's a little more nuance, and several important factors you're not considering in this piece... They need to get rid of Bernie and get rid of Trump while maintaining a country and functioning system to elect them.
