Judgment Day: Tuesday, September 8, 2020.

 A lot of you think the presidential election will be decided on Tuesday, November 3, 2020 -- and you'd be wrong -- the presidency will be decided in the week of September 8 through 11 when both the Senate and the House of Representatives will be back in session.

The spoilers are respectively named Pelosi and McConnell. Either or both of them will sink their own prospective presidential candidate if they do not reach a funding extension agreement for Americans who are in financial difficulty and hurting badly in the wake of this unofficial Depression.

I get it: Pelosi wants to spend more than Trump wants and McConnell less. What else is new? It's not like Pelosi and McConnell just feel off the political turnip truck. They know that perception is the ultimate gateway to political reality and that means if both Houses can't make it in conference, then both chambers are done as dinner.

Those in pain, regardless of their political affiliation, will vote and will have punishment in mind for those who did not deliver for the American people during a period of severe economic hardship. So, get your asses in gear and make it happen otherwise Democrats lose the House and Republicans the Senate. That's cold, hard, political reality baby, as they throw the bums out in droves absent meaningful recovery legislation on this subject.

Meanwhile, Trump can't lose, provided he can expeditiously get the money out under Executive Orders recently signed by the President. People in dire financial straits don't spend their time arguing whether it's enough, etc. They take whatever they can get to help keep them afloat economically and they remember who sent them the money.

Of course, it's likely unconstitutional but no one gives a flying fuck about that. That's Washington, D.C. inside baseball. Put another way, if Congress can't get its act together and Trump manages to funnel the money out through Treasury, or some other source, then Trump beats Biden in November.

It's that clear. However, if Trump can't ultimately deliver, then Biden takes him to the cleaners in a heartbeat. Keep an eye on that ball. It'll tell you shortly all you need to know about who more than likely wins in November.
