Can you imagine the outrage from you folks had this been President HRC or Joe totally botching 3 key policy changes/proposals in the most consequential speech of their presidency?

But for this guy it's "Heckuva job Orangey!"

Sad.

RWT all too predictable. Must be the CNN talking points he is repeating.

HRC or Joe would be too busy scheming how to bilk the American taxpayer to enrich themselves to be spending much time worrying about this virus.

I agree with you. I didnt like Trump from the beginning. He is a buffoon and crass at every opportunity. He is doing a good job though. Anyone who can't see that is just blinded.

Even though I concede he is doing a good job, I was certainly hoping for a better candidate and they come up with Joe Biden.

Y’all both sound like me in 2016. Honestly I believe the DNC has rolled Joe out this go round because they have to have a candidate that might help them win some down the ticket races. Running Joe is symbolic of throwing in the towel.

All Joe has to do is win Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania; and his performance in Michigan was particularly encouraging. He beat Sanders in the areas of the state that Sanders beat Hillary. He’ll be a much more formidable opponent than Hillary ended up being.

You may be right, however, the key may be what the over 560K Bernie supporters in Michigan do. If they switch to a third party, protest vote for our President or simply stay home the race could swing either way.

Bernie’s refusal to get out doesn’t bode well for the DNC.

Joe is a likable guy and Hillary simply wasn’t. She had trouble connecting with average folks and felt far more comfortable in a policy meeting in DC than in Topeka, KS at a rally or townhall. Quite honestly, she was far more like Bloomberg... a stiff “operations” guy but not a salesman.

I have no idea what Sanders supporters will do, but the party is far more unified now than it was in 2016. I think Bernie stays in for the next month as a token gesture to his base, but will rally behind Joe... and most of his supporters will follow him, knowing the alternative. If Bernie got out now, at the suggestion of the DNC, it would alienate many of his supporters and almost ensure a division. He’s smart to stay in.

Other than the fact that he got a bunch of facts wrong, it was fine.

It's factored into the numbers, that's why it doesn't move the needle.

CDC Director said Europe is the new China relative to the virus, and Fauci said

Q: Does banning travel from Europe help stop the spread of this illness?

FAUCI: Most of the new infections that we're getting right now, the majority of them are coming from Europe.

Q: So you think that'll make a difference?

FAUCI: "I really do. I really do."

but..........................................Orange man bad.

Muh policy.

UK has cases of this thing too, so unsure why they are exempted.

Because they do a much better job regulating who comes and goes than the rest of the world.

His cadence was bizarre and he kept snorting in between phrases to refill the air in his lungs... and then there’s the white concealer around his eyes.

Trump has not enjoyed one quarter of gdp growth over 4%. The idea of his grand economy is just a lie retold over and over until it’s perceived as truth. It’s been good but not great, but it’s come with a tremendous spike in deficits... deficits no one seems t give a squirt of piss about anymore. We’ve enjoyed about 11 consecutive years of economic growth, 8 of which had nothing to do with Donald Trump.

If anyone knows about repeating lies until they're perceived as the truth would be the leftist Alinskyites. It's been their strategy for decades now.

They don't let facts get in their way. Lowest unemployment since 1969. Lowest Black unemployment ever. Lowest Hispanic unemployment ever. First time in 30 or 40 years, the lowest quarter's income growth is higher than the top quarter.

UK is still open for free travel from mainland Europe according to guys in our Sheffield office. So unsure on that one.

The markets seem to have a dismal opinion of Trump's botched response. But don't let any objectivity get in the way of your worship of the Cheeto-In-Chief.

Crawl back under your rock. This has nothing to do with Trump or his administration. The US markets are not independent of the world economy.

Don Lemon killed Kasich for thinking it was a good speech. Never let e a crisis go to waste.

The US has been an empire ever since the USSR fell. A bit of a reluctant empire (which is the best kind of empire), but an empire nonetheless.

Except the futures fell the most during and right after his speech. Now, one could argue that the markets didn't like the travel ban which would make some sense.

Maybe because the experts at the CDC said the UK is not nearly as troublesome vs. other other countries, just a guess.....and Johns Hopkins ranks the USA #1 and the UK #2 in all matters related global health security in matters of pathogens and epidemics.
Canada and Australia have very good overall scores. Italy is much further down the ranking. Funny how the Anglosphere remains solid.
