When will cons accept the fact that Trump just isn't up to the task to fight this pandemic?

    FACTS you seem to be to cowardly to provide.

    Just for starters, Trump implemented restrictions on travel from China in January. Liberals called him "racist" for doing so. They were the ones who still hadn't got a grasp of the danger presented by the Chinese coronavirus yet, not Trump. More travel restrictions from other regions as well as other actions were implemented soon after. Trump has been ahead of the game from the beginning.

    And you think Biden has a magic wand he will wave and every Coronavirus germ on the planet will drop dead?

    I don't think Trump has done particularly well, but he's also not been particularly bad and I doubt Hillary would have done any better because the main failure has been that the FDA and CDC are slowing the speed at which we can respond.  Trump did a LITTLE to nudge them out of the way, but they are still impeding everything.  

    Would Hillary, a believer in big government have forced the CDC or FDA to get out of the way?  Unlikely.  Certainly, Hillary would be a better communicator.  Trump's ego prevents him from letting anyone but himself take point to talk about things, but Hillary's ego is AT LEAST as big as Donald's.  But Hillary would actually be reading briefings and the media wouldn't be deliberately trying to stir things up.  For example, Donald never told anyone to drink bleach.  But the media keeps repeating the myth.  That's just bias in action.  All Trump did is have a typical Trumpian stream of consciousness ramble about an actual legitimate study that was going on (which he clearly didn't understand).

    Fortunately, this pandemic is mostly a nonevent.  The early antibody studies show that the lockdown failed to prevent the spread of the virus and that it's true mortality rate is actually EXTREMELY low, very comparable to the flu.  We should start lifting the lockdowns immediately.  Sure, still encourage telework for those who can, protect vulnerable populations, encourage social distancing...but these full lockdowns were NEVER justifiable, and have failed to do their job.

    What? And Hillary would have been? She could not even walk up steps without help during her campaign and fell down many times. Photo's showed she was "propped up" during one of the debates.We are lucky to have Trump.

    I heard an NY State health official  a few days ago saying that "previous regulation" was one of the biggest early roadblocks to the COVID response..

    .... under the provisions what she called "earlier reforms," state and local officials had to get layers of bureaucratic approvals before ordering testing supplies or re-purposing hospital rooms for critical care... she said that the federal government had been doing a "fantastic job" rolling back those regulations and "putting health care professionals back in the decision-making role"...

    California officials... even trump-hating Gov. Gavin Newsom.... have also credited the federal response time and overall support.... again citing the removal of bureaucratic road blocks as a key factor...

    so yeah....maybe Trump the character on your TV shows doesn't look or sound like an effective leader... but somebody seems to be doing something right at the federal level..... and it certainly isn't (or wasn't) the ones who put all that excessive regulation into place and called it "reform"...

    Never. Cons do not understand that

    Trump definitely does not know how to work with any and all people who will benefit us in this battle.

    He does not understand the value of the word "we".

    I know, right.  We need Biden to come in, call the virus a lying dog-faced pony soldier and threaten to take the virus out back and beat it up. That will solve the problem.

    No need to do things like close the borders or stop flights from China, because that is xenophobic fear-mongering. 

    What we need is no malarkey because malarkey kills. 

    A good portion of me wants Biden to win.  that will be comedy gold.  Biden going around threatening to beat up Democrats who ask him questions at his rallies as he explains to us that he will not stand for malarkey, balderdash, not even the occasional gobbledygook. 

    Do this.  Watch on of Trump's press briefings.  Watch the number of questions he takes on the fly and answers.  You may not like his style, but watch. Do you really think Biden can do this.  Do you think Biden can answer difficult questions now? All I have seen him do well is read from a teleprompter.  He certainly has good speech-writers, but he is not well.

    Whats wrong wit you?  He's clearly doing a great job despite being attacked by all sides from the unhinged left.

    Imagine you're driving a car or flying a plane and you have several baboons jumping, clawing, and biting at you.....and still succeed.
