The gains under Trump were great, but they’ve been wiped out by a virus . There is nothing the POTUS or any other human ( save for someone in the Wuhan that craved a batburger for lunch ) could have done to stop it.

Agree. And also on the retort to desolate. The middle of America is less populated for sure, but full of resplendent beauty and the absence of throngs can provide a wonderful solace. Nothing dismal about it. Desolate is way off base for sure.

Nope, not a lock. The roster says the Bills should be a playoff team, but as fans we know that doesn’t mean much. I don’t think this change to the format will be a hindrance to the Bills chances , but there are still things that can go wrong.

Maybe I’ve just got a bad case of cabin fever, but doesn’t it seem like they’ve ( State, Fed, County) been saying “ the next two to three weeks are critical “ for about two full weeks now ?

Zero deaths was never a possibility with the Chinese virus. Even a moron would know that.

It’s certainly substantial. It appears his team believes his personality is a strong part of his appeal with the base. They may believe the stark contrast in policy between candidates will win the day on the undecided. We will see...

I don’t believe 60% is attainable anymore

So true. A scared electorate that cannot go back to work just might be inclined to vote for more socialism. That’s the hope of the left and the LSM

Agreed. Maybe closer to 10-15%. In the past , I could see that.Candidates weren’t so far apart. Just such a huge difference in vision for America right now, though. One side is anti American , anti capitalism, and anti Caucasian. Can’t recall anything quite like the stark differences in the parties now. Old metrics may not apply.

40% ? That seems a bit high. Most will decide on major policy stances, not on a whim.

Maybe, but his strategy seems to be otherwise. The base will love it, the haters will hate ( weren’t getting them anyway) and the middle will decide based on the enormous difference in policy ideas. It’s not like the two parties vision for the country is even remotely similar. In more normal times, playing to the middle might be a better strategy.

It’s part of his persona and just makes his base supporters more fervent. I love it, personally. The lamestream media types are turds, and he talks to them on their level; that of petulant children. He’s the parent putting the whiny child in their place. They can’t stand that Trump is president, and their miserable lives revolve around this fact. This is a war between loony libs and the rest of the country.

Great retort to Acosta.... I freakin’ love how Trump is dealing with these low- lifes.

For cripes sake, he’s not in quarantine ! Self - isolating perhaps, but I don’t think there’s been any news saying that Allen has Coronavirus symptoms.

Veiled attempt to get a revote for a CBA he doesn’t like. Maybe he was one of the many who did not vote in the first place ? Anyway, I’m highly skeptical of anything originating with Reid. Don’t trust that guy at all.

Probably. Seems reasonable for this year.

They’re all using this as an excuse to get nearer to liberal utopia.

They won’t keep a lockdown for that long. Too many businesses will die.

Waiting for that will simply take too long. This IS the first world, and the USA has the most hospital care capacity anywhere. It’s still not enough, but that perfect world you’re longing for doesn’t exist in reality. The science would probably say remain locked down for a year until there is a vaccine if the goal is to absolutely minimize the risk. Daily life went on when we didn’t have vaccines for many diseases that cut many thousands of lives short. We’ve gotten a little too comfortable, but the economy must be deferred to. Hygiene and simple precautions must become a focus; staying locked down for months isn’t an option outside of a couple more weeks. The most vulnerable will need to self isolate.

One thing for certain is that the liberal mindset is always “ someone else should have known/ done differently”. Crazy, unimaginable things can happen in the world sometimes. Have to deal with it. A few months and the economy may be past the point of revival anytime soon. That’s the choice that needs to be made. It sucks, but just as in times of war, some will perish.

It’s an excuse to do exactly what the Libs want to do anyway- be extremely soft on crime because the justice system is “ racist” .

It will be similar to the lockout season a few years back. Truncated team activities. Camp/ preseason reduced or eliminated. Regular season commences on schedule.

They’re realizing just what a liability early-onset Joe is. I’m 100% supporting Trump in November , but I get it with Cuomo. I rarely agree with him on policy, but I’ll admit he doesn’t talk like a man with dementia.

Even more of it the longer things are kept locked down. It’s needed to prevent total collapse, and everyone is on board not Just Trump. The difference is he wants everything open, up and running. Some would like the socialism to become the new American way of life. Interestingly , the required dose of socialism now is the perfect argument against it as a long term thing.

Lawsuits is what you think about ? Crazy Lib Tibs....Bottom line , there is NO fixing this thing fast. Sucks, but it’s true. It cannot, however be an excuse to slide into the abyss of dictatorship and communism. We simply have to go back to work, take extra hygiene measures and hope for the best. Scientists will say keep everything locked down for months or a year because they are only focused on if this virus spreads. They will still be in demand and have a job. The rest of society at large cannot operate that way. Can’t hunker down and be shut down for very much longer without disastrous effects. The rest of society doesn’t owe us a job, owe us total protection from getting sick, or owe us a guarantee that a hospital will always be able to treat every one of us. Libs are going to lib in a crisis like this and try to create their dreamed of utopia. Few freedoms, and government’s heavy handed control of everything knows what’s best for us. Amazing how many want to get the economy restarted soon, and the most liberal amongst us want more government restrictions, less people working, and general government control of every aspect of daily life - right down to your healthcare. Interesting that even though the world at large had inadequate supplies for such a medical crisis, the USA had the most ventilators, ICU beds etc per 1000 population than anywhere else. Socialized medicine is more skimpy and stingy than what we have at home.
