    You are still in denial.

    "If social distancing is not followed, the estimates are even more grim, Trump noted, saying the model suggested some 2.2 million Americans could have died in the U.S. if officials ended containment efforts."

    Reflect a bit on the past: What did the Right do while Obama was president? They attacked everything he did including his race, his wife, and even made accusations about his gender. Nothing the Dems are saying about Drumph even comes close to the ridiculous out of line absurd attacks made by the Right against Obama. Get a grip on reality. DJ Trump is the worst of the worst, no exceptions. History will record it that way. Only a complete blind fool could think there is anything at all good about him.

    And BTW, you don't know anything about how the majority of Dems feel: Bernie is not that popular. Most Dems are centrists, moderates, not extremists who want Bernie's vision.

    That is a ridiculous question. What is his fault is not responding to it in an thoughtful, useful, intelligent way, as a true leader who cares about the people and not himself would do.

    Who are you calling "you people"? I loathe President Trump and I have since the mid 1980s. Never voted for him and never will. But his critics have gone damned crazy.

    Not even 'crazy' in the ballpark of what the Right did to Obama. Intense, maybe, but every criticism of Drumph is earned. If you can't see what a complete loss he is to the human race, that's too bad. Take your blinders off. He is ruining this country.

    You're kidding. I don't remember Obama being attacked for feeding the fish too much in Japan or mocked because he wanted a couple of tanks in a military parade. Or his wife for having Christmas decorations in the White House that were too dark.

    President Obama was practically deified by a substantial group of Americans. Including most of the media and academia.

    1) Mistreatment of Obama in no way whatsoever justifies poor treatment of Trump and you well know that.
    2) How is Trump "ruining this country"? Aside from the current virus outbreak and the excessive budget deficits I don't think most people (including you) can honesty complain.
    3) Sure Donald Trump is an awful human being. But Washington D.C. is full of those.

    Your right about Obama, he was treated poorly by many on the right. Your very Trump Rage rant at the end of the first paragraph is an example of how your no better than anybody your pointing out.

    A large part of on left support Bernie in ideology but not as the nominee because they want to defeat Trump. Every, and I mean every poll I saw of Dems had "defeat Trump" as their top concern. It's rage before ideology is all.

    After the defeat the DNC will have in Nov. it will be time to reevaluate the way they present themselves. They have not been doing a good job the last 2 cycles.

    You're right. It only points out your hypocrisy

    Trump earns the scorn on his own

    Every single day the bodies pile up

    Every single day the numbers get worse

    And every single day Trump does or says something more bat crap crazy than the day before

    What makes you think a true leader cares about the people and not himself? What about Winston Churchill.? I've studied him thoroughly and I'm pretty certain a number of his actions showed a complete disregard for his fellow British citizens.

    Even if President Trump had handled the virus problem perfectly, thousands of Americans would've still died.

    No surprise. But it doesn't matter as I consider most Americans (and most people in the world) to be complete idiots.

    The countries which acted quickly did not shut down their entire economy and they didn't have as many deaths as USA

    America has been ran like a Banana Republic under Trump

    That's your opinion.. you're just mad because now that you have hindsight you think you could have done better..

    If in 6 month we are invaded by aliens from Europa you'll blame trump for spending too much time on covid 19 and not preparing for the invasion.

    At a campaign rally in Iowa, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump jokingly says he could "shoot somebody and not lose any voters


    I wonder if the Voters would stick with him if 100,000 Americans die because of his inaction's and dismissing of the Virus ?

    I would bet not Likely !!

    Why do you blame President Trump for that? Even if President Trump's reactions were perfect thousands of Americans would've died of the COVID-19 virus.

    That's a ridiculous statement.

    If Trump had testing in place and virus contact quarantine in place early on
    then the death rate would have been reduced by 500 % !!

    As of yet this still hasn't done by Trump

    Lives saved, Families intact. Our economy would be open. Our debt reduced.

    This is Trumps Largest Screw up that no one could imagine when voting for a TV reality performer to Lead our country

    Prove it. And a 500% reduction in the death rate would STILL have left thousands of Americans killed most certainly.

    Who are you talking about?

    The American social, economic and political system are among the most if not the most complex in the world. Tring to compare them to communist and socialist countries is just silly.

    The price of freedom is less centralized govt. A price worth paying even when it causes harm.

    Testing in place for a new virus? Quarantines in the freest country on Earth "early, whatever than means.

    You most pointless kind of critic, one that does not have even a inkling of what they are critiquing.
