Not intending to be partisan or controversial here. If the COVID-19 virus pandemic continues into the summer, the Democrats may not be holding a national presidential nominating convention. I hope that's not the case because we have to have some normality in the upcoming electoral process.
During a national crisis, the president is in charge, is credited if the crisis is abated or held accountable if it is not. Trump may benefit from the coronavirus just as George W. Bush benefited in terms of popularity from the aftermath of 911. Meantime, the "presumed" Democratic nominee for president, Joe Biden, cannot engage in mass-public campaigning and is left to giving online speeches in the shadow of Trump. Fairly or not, this is the reality.
Wisconsin is an exception to holding a primary election today; other states have postponed their elections. But Wisconsin has been harshly criticized for violating the social-distance rules and many fear that state will have a surge in virus-related cases.
What's going to happen if the pandemic continues into the fall? Is the November general election going to be postponed--or even cancelled? That would mean Trump gets a new four-year term without an electoral decision. And some aspect of our democracy will be sacrificed to the pandemic, rightly or wrongly. This may sound "alarmist" but it could happen.
I hope we get over this crisis by late June for the sake of the country and the democratic process of choosing a new president, as well as a new Congress and state and local office holders.
