Dems Brace For GOP Ploy To Pin Under-Planned Vaccine Rollout On Biden | Talking Points Memo

President Trump and his top lieutenants would love to have the country believe that the COVID-19 vaccine will be widely available very soon, just a few weeks into the Biden administration. 


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1350392

As hideous as it may seem it’s actually possible more people will die of this in Biden’s term than Trump’s.

Chew on that.

But top Trump officials have tried to create the impression publicly that the vaccine will be widely available to the general public as soon as February — a wildly unrealistic estimate that, if taken seriously, could frame the Biden administration for what seems like a conspicuous early failure.

But please, let us not use intemperate, obscene, or uncouth language to describe them … the bunch of fuckers.

December: Don’t take the vaccine it isn’t safe!

January 22nd: Where’s my shot? Uncle Joe is trying to kill real Americans!

you’ll never see diaper donnie roll up his sleeve for a shot; his arms are too flabby with absolutely no muscle tone detected… it’d be like innoculating a can of crisco.

“Democrats are beginning to take notice that they’re being set up.”

Beginning? They need to be shouting from the mountaintops every. single. day. that this is a Trump failure we are fixing for you.

Democrats are beginning to take notice that they’re being set up.

It’s amazing, their catlike reflexes.

Wait until Biden gets blamed for “raising your taxes!” when the tax cut bill starts coming due in January. I’m sure they will be flabbergasted that ordinary people aren’t careful readers of Congressional legislation and knew this was coming.

THANK YOU FOR THIS STORY! This has been the most under-reported issue of the past month. Horrible vaccine rollout that is going to be followed by hamstringing Biden from correcting course (largely by refusing funding, since the Republicans are all back to “Deficits Matter Mode” now that Biden is POTUS-elect).

Won’t matter to the MSM and to the minions. Everything will be Biden’s fault within 10 minutes of his saying ‘so help me, G-d’.

There needs to be a non-stop campaign itemizing all of the ways in which Trump has been sabotaging the distribution of the vaccine. The message has to be loud and clear all over Youtube, television and social media. If not, the Democrats have fucked up.

Punch first, punch hard and don’t let up. Either that or get the shit kicked out of you. There’s no in between with Republicans and everyone knows this by now.

I hope the White House fumigation team remembers to check every drawer in the place for more such turds. We’re going to pay for the last four years for many more.

Vaccine roll out, economic woes, deficits, Russian hacking. All of it will be the Biden administration’s fault

Why not just go off the rails on him … - … pin it all on Trump & call it what it is - attempted mass murder - and press for his execution for crimes against humanity … playing politics was one thing … here he played with fire and cost literally hundreds of thousands of people of lives - an even more - untold suffering

of course this won’t happen … but there should be some substantial political beat-down delivered to Trump - such that his political and financial future is totally and permanently destroyed …

How about we don’t “brace.” How about, instead, we work out effective messaging before they start spewing their lies?

Well, if Democrats have just begone to notice that the GOP is setting them up for failure then they are beyond Charlie Brown and Lucy humor; something has to be certifiably wrong with them.

I think Democrats are just figuring out what is most likely to be immediately damaging to the new administration on the long list of fires started by the GOP just for Biden, and beginning to do damage control. At least I hope so.
