    Probably many more of those, you do remember that, right, "liberals" making fun of his germaphobia? Let's see if you can help me out and post some from CNN or MSNBC that are still laughing.

    So, no, state doesn't matter, we just don't like the flu or common cold either, so even rednecks wash our hands.

    If crises tend to raise the approval level of some politicians, I don't dare imagine Trump's when things calm down.

    Hundreds of thousands of voters who have lost a loved one will rush to the polls in November to re-elect Trump, their saviour.

    Trump is clearly the best choice to rebuild the economy, as opposed to your dementia candidate who has created nothing his while life. He's been at the public trough that whole time, casting votes, speechifying, and showing up for the cameras.

    Did relatives of those who died in the bad virus during Obama's term vote against him?

    I been wiping down my grocery carts and other carts for years, because who wants some damn flu or cold virus if you can possibly avoid it.

    There's no immunization for the cold virus that I know of and the one for the flu doesn't work very well.

    It was the Blue State Airport screeners who let in a bunch of people without screening them properly after Trump warned the entire country.

    Except the numbers don't lie.

    - 2.2% GDP growth in three years.
    - Gargantuan debt.
    - No tangible reduction in government spending to reduce the deficit.

    Trump runs the country the same way he runs his business: pretending everything's fine when he's on the verge of bankruptcy.

    I keep zinc lozenges in the fridge, and even if they say it may not help with this virus I'll do it anyway if I get it. Around normal flu season I sometimes have a soapy wet rag on my shoulder, just walking around the house; wife working at school, Rugrats, if we don't want it, we learn.

    Pelosi did urge people to join the crowds for the Chinese new year.
    The DP bosses have worked hard to make this the CCP/DP CoronaVirus Pandemic.

    Yet the dingbat criticizes Trump's response. Let's face it, this would be a mess no matter who was in power, IMHO Trump is by far the best choice to rebuild the economy after this.

    The day Trump's opposition opposed his decision to stop flights from China it became the CCP/DP Coronavirus.

    Trump's opposition worked hard to facilitate the spread of this pandemic and obstruct the response.

    The TrumpVirus (as it is known to the great majority of Americans) continues to rage on.

    By doing what?

    Demanding that we shut the nation down to stop the spread?

    How does that work exactly?

    Way to get it all wrong.

    Cotton was trying to claim that this was some kind of intentional bioattack by China. That's NUTBAG crap and he was rightly castigated for it.

    NY and NJ didn't take it serious?

    They were among the first in the nation to shut down.

    FLORIDA just shut down a couple days ago. Several GOP states have YET to issue stay at home orders.

    Joe was in charge? Because he's now running for president against your hero Trump, suddenly Obama was not to blame? Geebus but Trump supporters are predictable.

    Trump has been in office for three years. Plenty of time to replenish supplies, IMO.
