If you're saying that Dems and/or MSM bashing Trump is on record, who are you arguing with? No one said anything to the contrary. As a matter of fact, I basically agreed with you. But explicitly, when asked, Biden and every other Dem I saw comment publicly said essentially the same thing: "I will trust the scientists and the FDA when it comes to Vaccine approval, not Donald Trump"

If there is an abundance of differing opinions/commentary that were made publicly, I'm saying I didn't see or hear them, but happy to take a look if you link to something other than an opinion piece.

He didn't even get praise for it when they decided to take it.

See above. I literally just said I think Trump got nowhere near enough credit for pushing the thinking toward moving faster. I've made no bones that I wasn't a fan of Trump personally, but I also am not a huge fan of Biden either, and I think we're seeing it play out that he was a pretty meh option too. But that doesn't mean I can't acknowledge the positives. Far too many people on here and elsewhere seem to make the assumption that if you're Anti-[my guy], you're pro the extreme opposite. There's a whole lot of people who are left in the middle as both parties skew toward their respective extremes.

quote:
They were attacking Trump's optimism

To be fair, Trump did a poor job of rationalizing his optimism. When all you do is talk about how you have the "best X" and the "greatest Y", despite not actually having the evidence to back that up frequently, then the overt optimism comes off as more grandstanding bluster than grounded in reality. Right/Wrong/Indifferent, Trump's personality never was going to mesh with everyone, and it doesn't hurt that he's basically been a "if you don't see it my way I really don't give a shite about you as a human being" public personality (may be inaccurate in reality, but it's the general public perception coming from his tv show and campaign/interview style).

A pandemic in an election year is going to screw whoever is in charge. Just too much ammo and uncertainty.

That said, i blame the shitshow at the border, the abortion clinic handling of covid, and the deaths of 13 soldiers and a disgraceful, leave them behind withdrawal dumpsterfire, not on Biden but those who voted for him.
