In their continual effort to smear President Donald Trump, Democrats and party operatives in the media have suggested he would use the pandemic to cancel the 2020 election so he could stay in office.
Last month, as life began to change under COVID-19 lockdowns, Chris Cillizza wrote on CNN that "Whispers have begun that maybe, just maybe, President Donald Trump will use the pandemic to cancel the 2020 election entirely."
On the same day, Politico claimed that because Trump "Has repeatedly shown contempt for the rule of law and the spirit of democracy, it's not unreasonable to worry that he could try to use the pandemic as a pretext to cancel the election and remain in power."
Vox played along and told readers the late March delay in Ohio's primary "Understandably triggered fears that other officials, potentially even President Trump, might take advantage of the Ohio precedent to postpone or cancel November's election if it appears that Trump is likely to be defeated."
In an op-ed published the day before in The Hill, Fox News analyst Juan Williams wondered if "Given the depth of the political hole he has dug eight months before the presidential election, does anyone really think the president would hesitate to use the coronavirus as justification for postponing or canceling the next presidential election?".
As the narrative fades, don't be surprised when it's replaced by demands from Democrats and the media to delay the election for at least a year because the COVID-19 lockdowns have handicapped their candidate.
So it's no leap to follow up those ideas with an appeal, for the sake of justice and fairness, to reschedule the 2020 election so Democrats will have time to mount a stronger campaign - maybe even one with a different candidate.
