GOP insiders were plotting a path to November that looked like this:  Dumping Trump, keeping the senate, and getting the Supreme Court nominee pushed through.  They weren’t thrilled with it but Trump wasn’t raising money and they didn’t see a way out.  So, just as their plan was coming together …

“That an actual virus has now infected Trump, his wife, his campaign manager, the head of the Republican National Committee, several advisers, and three senators — many of them at a celebration of Barrett’s nomination — thus throwing all three of the GOP’s 2020 goals into chaos, is a plot twist that would be rejected by any writer as just a little too on the nose.”

And then …

And then Goldman Sachs slams the coffin shut.

Just hours after Trump’s all-caps Monday morning tweet predicting economic disaster, Goldman economists pointed out that polls “suggest a ‘blue wave’ in which Democrats gain unified control of Washington is becoming more likely” — and they’re not suggesting investors dump stocks.

In fact, “all else equal, such a blue wave would likely prompt us to upgrade our forecasts,” Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius wrote in a Monday report.
