I know that there was too much Mitt praise for his largely symbolic vote, but by far the best thing the Rs could do now would be remove Trump, install prez Pence, but appoint Mittens as the national Coronavirus Tsar with emergency powers. I know they won’t even consider it but Mitt is basically the one guy that the Ds and Rs could conceivably rally around for a short term emergency. He’s not perfect but we’re desperate here.

Say what you want about Mitt, he’s competent. That’s like the one job you actually want him in.

Picking up though. -6.44% and rising as of now

Well you jinxed it. Back to 7.5

+1 to Mitt being competent. I don’t agree with him on much politically, but he’s definitely a guy who has the decision making part down. Like I disagree about where we should be going, but I’d trust him to efficiently work his way toward his goals. In a situation where we’ve got shared goals like the Coronavirus we could do a lot worse.

Yeah, like, I don’t think we’d have much to worry about in an alternate universe with a Mitt presidency checked by a Dem congress. There wouldn’t be much in the way of wins for the working class, but we’d be a functional country.

Eh. Being ready for a disaster by being financially prudent and then opening the storehouses to the public is a pretty core LDS belief. Not least because it’s an amazing opportunity to proselytize. I suspect Rmoney drops quite a few measures to stop people from losing everything during the crisis. Obviously he builds every single one of those things so they disappear the day the crisis passes, but he definitely puts them in place and feels zero cognitive dissonance as he does it.

Sadly the goal for the working class right now is surviving without losing what little they have. After the pandemic things might improve for them because historically surviving a pandemic is good for people economically… but let’s be real all the previous pandemics happened at a time when consumption was tightly linked to supply not demand.

In a scenario where trump dies in office mitt wouldn’t be the worst R to take over

He’d easily be one of the best.

Dems should nominate Mitt. Better than Biden. Better chance at winning as well.

I won’t ever be thrilled about the Democrats nominating someone who is not a Democrat.

Rumor going around about 2 week national lockdown. Could be BS but suspect not.

Mittens is a 360 windmill dunk choice v Biden. Identical politics, probably less corruption, functioning brain.
