Possible Good News...
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s erratic handling of the coronavirus outbreak, the worsening economy and a cascade of ominous public and private polling have Republicans increasingly nervous that they are at risk of losing the presidency and the Senate if Mr. Trump does not put the nation on a radically improved course. Many Republicans believe President Trump’s daily news briefings are inflicting grave damage on his political standing. The scale of the G.O.P.’s challenge has crystallized in the last week. With 26 million Americans now having filed for unemployment benefits, Mr. Trump’s standing in states that he carried in 2016 looks increasingly wobbly: New surveys show him trailing significantly in battleground states like Michigan and Pennsylvania, and he is even narrowly behind in must-win Florida. Democrats raised substantially more money than Republicans did in the first quarter in the most pivotal congressional races, according to recent campaign finance reports. And while Mr. Trump is well ahead in money compared with the presumptive Democratic nominee, Joseph R. Biden Jr., Democratic donors are only beginning to focus on the general election, and several super PACs plan to spend heavily on behalf of him and the party. Perhaps most significantly, Mr. Trump’s single best advantage as an incumbent — his access to the bully pulpit — has effectively become a platform for self-sabotage. (Swiped from MSN) Perhaps the end is in sight for our long national nightmare of Trump. -- MAGA - Manipulating America's Gullible Assholes |

(Swiped from MSN) Perhaps the end is in sight for our long national nightmare of Trump. They (the media in general) really have a hard time talking about the damage to the economy at the same time that they are hyping up the virus and telling us all to stay home. The shut down killed the economy, nothing else and whenever anyone even hints about trying to take their foot off the neck of commerce they are shouted down by media talking heads who are still being paid their millions ... to stay home. I do find it interesting that when Cuomo came out and said 2.7 million New Yorkers had the virus, spontaneously recovered and some didn't even know they had it, the media pretty much ignored it. I guess the message "We might be OK" does not get anyone to tune in at 11 and it won't sell papers. If you want to say Trump should take a page from the Biden play book and shut the **** up, I agree but overall, I rate the federal government performance as normal here. This is a huge bureaucracy that can't turn on a dime and when they do, it is usually in the wrong direction. If the tests New York are right, this might not be as bad as it is being hyped. If the tests are wrong, we should be glad the government didn't roll out 350,000,000 bad tests. In the mean time, let some states be the testing ground and if that scares you, stay out of Georgia and Nevada. We also don't hear much about the study done at Ft Detrick on the virus that suggests the half life of the virus on surfaces drops to a couple minutes at 80% R/H and in direct sunlight. Aerosols are measured in seconds. William Bryan (DHS undersecretary) presented the study at the white house, after it was leaked and it was quickly ignored. They would rather cover Trump's mischaracterization of a snippet he heard. The idea of going to the beach or out on a golf course is also against the narrative coming from TV outlets that you should STAY INSIDE AND WATCH MORE TV. No agenda there huh? |
