The Trump Administration had all the tools available to help the world combat something like this. Too bad they threw it all away.

This is a left leaning site that is speaking exclusively about the Trump Administration's poor handling of this debacle:

Trump could come over and hand you 10 million dollars and you'd hate him. I was unaware he was suppose to be physic. Seeing we NEVER shut down our country like this. And now, we aren't reopening for no reason, just Governors using their "power".

If he thinks the virus is fake, why was he in a different location?

Stop avoiding it, it's true. You can play Monday Morning QB all day long, but no one though we would shut down. We didn't for swine flu, Ebola, etc etc.

Yet, you seem more concerned about Trump than the tyranny Governors. Why is that?

Trump could not give TheHeel $10 million. It's an impossibility.

i think trump and republicans could gain quite a bit of ground because of the Dem govs shutting everything down. people are extremely angry and mad right now.

could imagine a nike parody ad for gov wolf saying sacrifice everything for corona and get no economy back.

Perhaps if governors were elected nationally, you'd have a point.

However, approval ratings seem to be fine. The noisy fringe will always be noisy.

We didn't need to shut down for Ebola. The govt was prepared and isolated the infected. If Trump was president during an Ebola outbreak we would all be dead.

Yes. We would in fact be all dead.

He was left with tools for this scenario. He chose to eliminate or not use those tools. Hmmm...maybe we didn’t shut down for those other diseases because.....the leaders attacked the problem instead of saying it’ll go away.

And, yes, those tyrannical governors who are trying to follow CDC guidelines to have their citizens safe. Horrible people. It’s not like they install their own yes men in, what seems, every part of the government. Oh, wait.

Just checking in to see if anyone has changed their mind about anything yet. No? Ok, carry on.

Their citizens aren't safe. Millions are losing their jobs. All to keep the elderly alive. It's clear that it's time to keep them safe while letting everyone else out.

I concur. And if they debate Trump will destroy Biden.

If by "destroy" you mean peddle unfounded conspiracy theories, lob personal attacks, deflect blame, deny facts, take credit for things he has no business taking credit for, and bring up sexual assault allegations (without even a hint of irony), then yes, Trump will destroy Biden in a debate.

So, you agree?

How exactly does Biden beat Trump in a debate?

Trump doesn't debate, he bludgeons and ridicules.

He doesn't have to waste time with substance.

So...how does Biden "win" a debate? He'll win every debate with his constituents. Trump will win every debate with his own.

If there is any one thing that has changed about me during this lockdown, I have come to agree with Bill more often. That really scares me.

Simple answer...it becomes a rap battle.

That doesn't really answer the question, does it? It just points solely at Trump's "bad's".. and ignores the guy that has had his wife speak for him more and more lately, because his party is well aware of what his condition is, and limitations are.

Yeah, I forgot Trump is a wordsmith who consistently makes well reasoned and well articulated arguments. Joe is definitely the only candidate in the race suffering from cognitive decline.

Deflect. Deflect.
