Whilst I do agree with you that a fair amount of blame should be placed on Trump, I feel like the entire system really wasn't prepared for this at all. Trump's early actions did by no means help this, but the lack of bipartisanship in Congress over the last few months is worrying. You judge the character of a man not when he is at his best, but when they are at their worst, I use this concept for judging most things, and must I say Congress over the last decade or so is absolute crap. What I am getting at is Trump is currently the face for a much larger issue.

While that is true, Trump had tremendous potential to influence Congress as well. If he were to put pressure on Senate Republicans to take action, they would have been forced to take action. Essentially, Trump's inaction enabled the Senate's inaction so while we can certainly say "The Senate did not act appropriately", we have to understand that these issues are interlinked.

You act as if he's just another average American who bears merely an equal, but not greater, responsibility for the current covid situation in this country than the average citizen does. No, he's the President of the United States! No one is more responsible for the public policy of this country than that specific individual! He, as such, bears the primary responsibility for the current covid situation in this country. There is no getting around this.

Also, Kellyanne Conway has now tested positive for covid-19 as well.

Trump did have the question posed to him, yet you have to also ask yourself, why wasn't similar posed to Biden? Antifa got brought up, but a response of, 'it's just an idea' was acceptable? That ends it right there then, because supremacy is also just an idea. Either you hound both of them for straight answers or you allow both to get away without properly answering. If you don't, you're taking sides and that's not then a fair debate, which is why Trump pointed out he was seemingly debating with the moderator and not Biden at one point.

Biden himself isn't the same as the radical left, everyone knows this. The question about Biden is can he hold them off for 4 or 8 years, considering he's no Trump? Based on what they've done to Trump to try and get their way, will they really stand idly by and let Biden do his own thing? Maybe, maybe not, but are people willing to take that risk, because if they manage to get their way, it's not going to be what the people voted for.

Lastly, if covid doesn't hit Trump that hard overall, this mindset is going to make some of the undecided think twice about voting Dem. Having lefties, radical they may be, cheering for the demise of President during his illness, there's no way that doesn't put a sour taste in undecided voters mouths. For those that come across this, some will likely refrain from voting Dem like they were leaning, and some may decide to vote Rep. Hate is a powerful tool even when used as defense.
