    Laughter is not an argument.

    No new argumentation presented.

    No point in arguing against delusion or conspiracy theories so I chose not to attempt to do so. So laughter was the appropriate response

    Elections are completely state responsibilities and they can be postponed for a little while at least but it would require an Act of Congress.. If the Electoral College is selected before the Presidential inauguration (the date of which is specified in the Constitution) everything goes smoothly. If there are no elections this year, then there will be no President, Vice President, or Speaker of the House.

    Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) as President Pro Tem of the Senate would be sworn in as the 46th President of the US.

    If there's no election, then 1/3rd of the senators' terms end on January 3rd. Those spots then get filled by selections from governors. There are enough dem governors who would replace current republicans with dems to flip the senate. That includes McConnell being replaced, by the way. Pat Leahy would actually be sworn in as president.

    Good point, but the Senate at large has to select the President Pro Tem and Grassley would be sworn in as President before that happens. I am reasonably confident that even the miserably corrupt and venal Democrats we have today would not be so bold as to interfere with that process by kidnapping the Chief Justice.

    I'm going to stick with Grassley.

    There's a reason why Wisconsin residents are known as Cheese Heads.

    Trump's term doesn't end until January 20th. The senate has to meet after noon on the 3rd of January, which would be after it has flipped to the dems. So they'll have already chosen Leahy as president pro tem by the 20th.

    You are better informed than I. I concede the point.

    The obvious indication is MONEY, and more MONEY. The first "relief" package is already superior to the original 700 BIllion passed when Paulson was secretary. But beyond that, a great deal of these steps were acted on.

    Now, why were they acted on? Because the Obama Administration gave the Trump team a 7-page document game plan..

    This is the DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S GAME PLAN. Any illusions that Trump is doing anything "wrong" is completely misguided by not knowing or acknowledging that this isn't off of the 7 page document game plan

    Of course, the other reason they are loathe to admit that this undesirable state of living is their game plan is because if they did, they would have the ire of the Republic.

    One was in an administration that put the economy on one of the longest recovery from a big economic downturn in history.
    Another is involved in the 2nd huge economic crash in a little over a decade.

    This is tRUMPs hurricane Sandy or Katrina. How the public views the handling of this crisis determines his success in November. That is pretty much it in a nut shell.

    What are you going to remember?
