There is one and only one reason that Biden has a chance to win the election. That one reason is a disease. A disease is the single best thing that has happened to Biden. Without the pandemic as a result of Carona 19, the economy would still be the best in a generation.The answer to the question " Are you better off now as a result of the Trump economy than you were when he took office?" That answere would have been a very loud YES. The economy would not be on the table for Biden. Trump rallies would be even more heavily populated. He woulod be dominant in the polls. The pandemic and the desease is, absolutely the single best thing that has happened to Biden. So ask yourself a question Is a president qualified simply because of a disease?????

Trump has shown, and continues to show, a total inability to lead the country through a crisis.
He now has four major domestic fronts: the pandemic, the economy, racial unrest, and police reform.
He has no solutions for any of the four. Trump is not a victim—he is an elected leader who should have answers.
Your synopsis is childishly simplistic.

Whether or not any issue you have mentioned and simplistic or not the fact remains, that were it not for the pandemic Trump' re-election would be a shoo in. Biden would not stand a chance. Mostly because he is the weakest candidate in recent history

Trump has proven incapable of any creative solutions to any of the issues confronting the country. I’m not talking about any of the current crises. No, I am referring to the crumbling infrastructure and his promises to rebuild America.

Trump has not presented any proposals for infrastructure rehabilitation.

There was a meeting that was to take place. A bipartisan meeting of Congressional representatives and the President with his team of experts.

The meeting began, the President threw a fit. The meeting ended.

This is not the leadership that the country needs or wants.

Boberino sez ... "simplistic or not the fact remains, that were it not for the pandemic Trump' re-election would be a shoo in."

... and if the Dominator of Tulsa had wings he could buzz and kick and scratch those nasty 'Baby Trump' balloons.

Maybe not, but Trump proved himself unqualified by completely failing at managing the pandemic response. If he had acted with decisiveness when the first news of a new contagion arose, his reelection probably would be assured (as terrible as that prospect is). Instead of being the hero who saved hundreds of thousands of lives and the economy at the same time, the incompetent Trump made sure the opposite happened. He could have done the job the Prime Minister of New Zealand did and been everyone's new favorite, but he instead cemented his position as the worst president in history, and he keeps piling it on with his responses to the police brutality protests and the corruption investigations in SDNY. Not only that, but treating the pandemic as the emergency it was (and still is) and putting that first $500 billion toward prevention, containment, and contact tracing, and we would be ready to resume near normality, without the other $3 trillion or more that Trump cost with his pretending nothing was wrong.

Fool yourself all you want. The disease didn't qualify Biden (his career in public service has done that), but it did let Trump display and define his ineptness and unfitness for all the world to see in ways his lies are insufficient to hide.

Any fool should be able to see that Trump has clearly shown complete ignorance and incompetence in his management of the pandemic. However, that is only one of a multitude of reasons that I could never vote for him. Since he entered politics, he has caused great harm to our country by stoking fear, hatred and racism. Trump must go.

Another advantage for Biden is the high probability of absentee or mail in voting increasing the chances of fraud and manipulation.
We all know how adept the Democrats are at voter fraud.

You may want to rethink that...The Democrats are the ones causing the racial issues.
