I googled "potential opening for the Democrats" and found nothing.

You got a link?

From Rush's transcript:

"This is on CNN Newsroom today, John Vause talking to Democrat strategist Caroline Heldman. “The thing I keep thinking about is potentially this is a huge problem for Donald Trump.” Yep, the coronavirus. You are the people that can’t even count the votes in Iowa, and you think this a problem for Donald Trump. “At the same time, though, do Democrats have to be careful in how they use this sort of health emergency to attack the president?”

HELDMAN: I actually think this is a very good opening for Democrats. And, unfortunately, it’s become political, right? When you have Rush Limbaugh, for example, saying that the coronavirus is like the common cold and it’s being used against Donald Trump. At the end of the day, this shouldn’t be political, but Donald Trump’s response has been so backwards on this that I think it’s an opening for Democrats"

So, not the MSM, but one dem strategist? And one I've never even heard of.

Okay?

Pretty clearly the 'no connections' comment is demonstrably false. We simply haven't discovered the connection yet.

The odds that an identical virus would crop up a continent away at about the same time without a connection is zero.

There is a connection and I suspect someone is (for any of a number of reasons) hiding it, or perhaps truly unaware.

Heard on the local radio today that the CDC has shipped 15,000 test kits nation wide and each test kit can take 700-800 samples.

Now we know why Chuck deleted this tweet.

Each position is easily defended 'if you look at it just right', but none is without alternative interpretation...

example... "It's going down'.... the total number of cases never goes down, but he could mean the rate of growth in the US... he could mean the mortality rate per infected person in the US... he could mean the speed of transmission.... On the other side, the left has similarly engaged in 'cuts in increases are decreases' as if budgets only ever rise and never ever fall, or that the President decides specifically what areas to cut or not... which is of course false, but it's true that he asked for and received spending cuts.

The left will be quick to tell you that he cut 100mm from Global Disease Prevention, but they will ignore that this was because the CDC 'learned a lesson from 2014 Ebola' and decided to add a now $100mm 'Infectious Disease Rapid Response Reserve fund' and a $40mm increase for 'Global disease detection and other programs'

Nowhere in the 500 page document, prepared by the director of the CDC in response to Trump/Congress' direction is China even mentioned

The number of cases is going down could also refer to “total active cases”. I think I heard one report today indicating the VP said that only one US case of coronavirus was still in the hospital.

There is a second one that got it in the same town with no connections on any trips or others who went on a trip.

Are we talkin acid or shrooms?

Joe Rogan is a big fan of organic hallucinogens. In my much younger days I was a huge fan of Timothy Leary's psycho-religion.

Ummm...you did see my post above that no one in the MSM actually said this, right?

I suspect he did, but nobody believes anything you have to say on the issue

USA Today
Trump's terrible coronavirus response hands 2020 Democrats a chance to show they can lead

LA Times
Will 2020 be the coronavirus election?

and if you watched the debate, you saw that this was an opportunity. Bloomberg thrust it into an unrelated topic and the MSM moderator told him they had an entire section devoted to it.

No, I don't watch the primary debates...at least not with more than 2 people. And he put the words in quotes, so that's what I searched on.
