It was clear this was bad when Trump assigned Pence to this and not Ivanka, Conway or Jared for PR points.
Pence will get the blame for whatever goes wrong and Trump will get the 'praise' if it magically works out.

As Pence is managing the biggest issue right now, he's effectively the President.

If you notice, pence is on team Fauci trying to actually do something, calling it corona virus. unlike pompeo who's still trying to trafficking his hookers from south america.

This sucks.  I think that Biden might just like these people on a personal level.  I've maintained friendships with people who did shitty things.  Maybe to him it's sort of similar to that.  It sucks.

I think this is pretty decisively the end for Trump. I know that's been said many times before but there really isn't a way to spin this positively since it's effected the day to day life of the entire country. Once the death toll gets to a certain point most of his base won't feel entrenched in their beliefs anymore. Maybe I'm still being naive but it really feels like there's no coming back from this.

You really do hate to see it. Especially as the news came out that the Trump admin was actually briefed by the WHO in the first days of January, despite Trump repeating that he wished he had been told about it sooner. They were briefed within 3-4 days of it becoming public knowledge at all. And yet they did absolutely nothing for an entire month, then closing travel from China on Feb 1, and nothing else despite the virus already having confirmed spread in the US. They let this go for ANOTHER whole month while Trump went on TV every few days saying it was no big deal and would clear up in April and cases would soon be down to 0.


They didn't start mobilizing anything until March. While Trump keeps saying he wishes they had been told earlier so they could have gotten started earlier, despite being told what was coming in very early January. Classic Trump projection and passing the buck. And yet over half the country thinks he's doing a good job.

:stahp

known since January, 2 fucking months to act, 2. since they spy so much on china they've probably known since last year
yet did nothing but frolic in the exposed sand when the waters mysteriously receded for whatever reason

According to Pew, 67 per cent of registered voters approve of Obama’s handling the impact of the hurricane, and just 15 per cent disapprove. This confirms a finding from the Washington Post/ABC News tracking poll in the middle of last week, which showed that more than three quarters of Americans believed that Obama’s response to Sandy has been “excellent” or “good.”

For comparison's sake.

Sandy mostly affected the Northeast, which Obama dominated in. That may skew things somewhat... (being directly affected, I thought he did a good job with it, politics notwithstanding)

Yeah, in terms of how it actually affected votes.

Mostly I was just looking for a comparable example of the rally-round-the-leader effect during a crisis. Pew had Obama +52 in approval on handling that, WaPo/ABC had something similar or even higher. In that context, Trump being +12 at this stage looks pretty weak.

Deep down inside I think that Trump is mostly pissed that he has to play President for another 4 years and the Democrats won't allow him to retire to his golf courses.
Trump haters should take some solace in the fact that he hates everything about being President except for the title, cheering crowds and campaigns.

If it wasn't for Mueller and the other things that he had to fight I don't think he would've kept going for as long as he did.
He probably wanted to avoid a situation he finds himself in now.

Unemployment Insurance.

Basically means that certain temporary relief measures will get automatically extended depending on a "trigger" (ie unemployment rate stays above X%).

Immediately after the initial onset of the crisis, Biden also held his fire against the president out of concern it would look too political — an accusation leveled at him anyway by Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale, who said that “Biden will take attention from real updates Americans should know just to score political points.”

These are the guys that supposedly have adult gloves?

p sure that arpaio donation is trying to pull a mccaskill/akin

warren reneging on the super pac pledge was still an extra bad look cause she'd made such a big deal of explaining the fundraising strat and why it was important and it was so obvious the only thing that changed was she didn't have enough cash

yeah her other donations seem to be 100% to Democrats (idk I didn't recognize or click through every single one), the Arpaio thing was probably meant as some galaxy brain double bank shot strategery thing

When corona is over there will be some sort of memorial, which will either go like this:

"So yeah, I clearly remember when we first set foot on Vietnam and it smelled funny like someone had the gas - gas - gasoline on the stove and the record player was playing the songs, you know the songs, with the flag and the band.
We all had these small gizmo's and I said wait - I need to - I need to - we need to come together as one nation. And this situation was just like that. We came in after Trump and he had he had to be reelected but he wasn't and there I was.
I had to fix this I had to fix this like a broken V8 on the spaghetti plate"

Or this:


"Well I admit, I was wrong, it wasn't a hoax. Now that's a headline for you FAKE NEWS! TRUMP ADMITS HE'S WRONG. Boy they will write about this for centuries. You're probably sad this is over now but everyone frankly is sick of you your ratings are going to be horrible. Everyone can go back outside again.

Thank you everybody, thank you. Today we memorialize those that perished in this horrible situation that the world had never seen before. We ask GOD for forgiveness in our prayers and we are glad that in the end it all worked out.
It all worked out folks, we got close but thankfully it worked out... it always does. Like a miracle this horrible CHINESE virus from CHINA which could've killed trillions but in the end only killed a few million. Which in my view honestly was a pretty great
number compared to the other numbers. Look, we had number like you wouldn't believe. Dr. Fauci showed me these horrible numbers like the entire eastcoast would've been dead it was pretty crazy. I said is that my electoral victory and they said
no sir that's how many would die and I would think wow that's a lot votes the Democrats would be missing right? That virus, boy Joe's chances went right down the tubes. We thank the many doctors, nursers and other healthcare workers - very important - look I..."
