With COVID-19 cases going up in places key to his reelection and his poll numbers in those same places going down, President Trump has been boxed in to shifting course.

Let's recap. This week, as NPR's Ayesha Rascoe recounted on NPR's Morning Edition Friday, Trump:

Endorsed wearing masks, calling it "patriotic" after resisting wearing them publicly for months.
Acknowledged that the pandemic will likely get worse before it gets better after months of dismissing its seriousness.
Backed away from his insistence that schools reopen this fall, having previously threatened to pull what small federal funding schools receive.
Canceled the in-person Republican National Convention that was supposed to take place in Jacksonville, Fla., after lambasting North Carolina's governor for not being able to guarantee that an in-person convention could be allowed to take place in his state by August. And though Trump made fun of Democrats for planning a virtual convention, the GOP convention will now be largely virtual, too.


I wonder if anyone remembers the famous "flip-flop" advertising campaign......Of course, that was then, this is now.....

1. John Kerry is a good man and a good Democrat

the attack ad from the "conservative" Club for Growth is, in my opinion, inappropriate for posting on Democratic Underground.

2. Yes. I've been pissed off the pundits never say flip-flop about republicans.
