    Everyone, including you, knows that professional politicians are corrupt liars.
    I suppose some can pretend not to know that long enough to take a poll, but that will have no effect on the next election.

    Trump has more credibility than any political pro, and far more than the MSM pilot fish that attach themselves to the professional pols. It's just not fair - right? ;-)

    That is precisely what liberals are suggesting. Only listen to them and their news because they believe you to be too stupid to make choices for yourselves....

    they omitted nothing, they do not have to cover Trump's every move

    what did Trump say that you felt was so important that was omitted?

    Gosh, is that a narrative that you think folks are going to bite on? Cause, honestly, it doesn't wash. And pretty well perfectly exemplifies my point.

    Some polls might say his "handling" is OK but that doesn't mean, at all, that he's credible. The others that speak are credible and being in charge he gets the credit.

    Honestly, with him all over the place it would be best for the public safety if his speeches are edited to include explanations of what he meant. You never know when he's going to change direction and it gives to most of us a feeling of unease because a point in every direction is the same as no point at all.
    Furthermore they should edit out all his blame game and excuses, I tire of having him say he never said or did something but even if he did it was someone else's fault. It accomplishes zero for him to lay blame on Obama or China or the fairy godmother. It is just to protect his brand. I fear what he's working up for the next couple of weeks when daily deaths near or pass 10,000. "If Hillary hadn't used so much bleach on her emails maybe all this could have been avoided."
    His lack of a consistent message makes him his own worst enemy and by extension ours.
    For God's sake make a script and stick to it. While being supple is important you shouldn't change direction in the same freaking address.

    It is not at all clear that his handling of the crisis is "OK". The polls indicate that Trump is more trusted to handle the crisis than his opposition. Politicians and partisan hacks will never as credible to Americans as the anti-establishment Trump.

    I'd like to find out just how many Europeans flew through NYC to get to New Orleans. I tried the other day, but the way I was going about it seemed like I would have had to make it a career. All that's needed in NYC is one case to infect subway and busloads of people. There are alot of people in NYC who don't own cars.
    Speaking of gatherings, this was Madrid on March 8 for international women's day. Any wonder why Spain has a problem?

    What are "those things"?

    Fauci just admitted that wearing masks is smart because spittle flies when people breath and talk. LOL! Does he have a double blind study proving that - now? ;-)

    Perhaps. It still doesn't change the fact that CNN isn't acting in the best interests of our nation. They haven't for a long time now. And it shows. I look back on the timeline and see CNN trashing efforts to control the spread of the virus at almost every turn. It seems purposeful in retrospect.

    i think folks need to start asking really hard questions about why China allowed this out of their country. CNN certainly isn't going to be the platform that does this.

    Tucker Carlson was one of the first to warn that the Chinese Wuhan Corona Virus was about to beat down America.

    Our "journalists" tend to avoid asking questions that really need to be answered.
    For instance:

    1. When did the CCP stop domestic travel in and out of Wuhan?
    2. When did the CCP stop international flights out of Wuhan?
    3. Who was 'patient zero'?
    4. Where was patient zero infected?
    5. When was patient zero infected?
    6. Why hasn't extensive antibody testing already been completed?

    And the most important question of all.... HOW was patient zero infected. Think about it. If, as it seems the China Institute of Technology assessment can be trusted, this came from a Chinese lab. I doubt China has enough money to cover the civil liability of their actions should this prove to be the case.

    If you are a secular progressive leftist, it’s a badge of honor that you consider me to be annoying. Thanks for the props!

    Have you met Trump and Jared or are you sharing a healthy dose of bovine flatulance?

    I'm a volunteer Catholic missionary in a "shithole"country. If you're a godless Bible thumping right winger you know what you can do with said badge. Hope it's not pointy.
