    Benjy Sarlin Retweeted Adam Weinstein

    The pretty clear implication from his recent statements is that low vaccine counts hurt Biden politically, just as high case counts hurt him. It's literally sacrificing his most loyal supporters for a talking point and many R's don't even think he's got the politics right on it.https://twitter.com/AdamWeinstein/status/1422573958919041026 …

    Adam WeinsteinVerified account @AdamWeinstein
    According to @swin24, people around Trump have raised the idea of him using his platform to urge diehard fans to get the vaccine, but “he doesn’t want to do it, he doesn’t want to do Joe Biden any favors, and he doesn’t think his fans really want it.” https://youtu.be/75nuXjZ7QAI?t=274 …

        He has gotten absolutely nothing right on the politics of this. He was wrong abt it going away early, abt the impact of his press conferences, abt lifting the lockdown for Easter, abt masking, abt his rallies and parties while we hunkered down, abt lying about his own COVID case.

        He did all of those things to pretend he was in control and successful. But none of those things made him look strong; instead they highlighted how little he did know, and how bad he is at politics. He got lucky when he could make it all about him, and he couldn't with COVID.

        None of that is relevant here, the only subset that matters is his supporters when we're discussing the value of him actively promoting vaccines

        Replying to @BenjySarlin

        There was a story from January that said one of the things trump was telling people as he left was to not let Biden get credit for the vaccine. Can't find it now, but shows what his mindset and priority was back then [during peak pandemic deaths] and I'm sure it's the same now

        Wouldn't R's really be better off politically to just get passed Corona entirely so they can go back to their old hobby horses? Only one way to do that...

        Should probably fix your tweet. Unless for some reason you meant to say Biden instead of Trump.
