Democrats will have plenty of time to cast blame on Trump& #39;s coronavirus response later, and it seems very likely that they& #39;ll cast lots of it given that it& #39;s an election year. It& #39;s not at all clear that casting more blame *now* will make their casting more effective in the fall.

Maybe the biggest bias among people who are professionally involved in politics (media, operatives, lawmakers, commentators) is to assume the public is always in an "on" mode, constantly receptive to political messaging and closely following political news cycles, when it isn& #39;t.

It& #39;s also telling that the campaign that gave by far the fewest shits about winning the daily news cycle, Biden& #39;s, is now winning the primary in a landslide despite being treated skeptically at every turn by exactly this group of plugged-in people.

Even if you did care about winning the news cycle *today* for some reason, it& #39;s a pretty bad one for Trump. Lots of straight news stories are saying he and the White House effed up. Cherry-picked examples aside, there is *not* a lot of both-sidesing. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2020/04/04/coronavirus-government-dysfunction/?arc404=true">https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-...
