Anyone been reading or thinking about this? Tucker Carlson says he believes Joe Biden "will not be the Democratic nominee on Election Day," with the Fox News host offering New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) as the candidate to take on President Trump in November.“Well, the math doesn’t work, but it’s not about math. It’s about will,” the conservative Carlson said during Charlie LeDuff’s podcast “No BS News Hour” when asked how the delegate math would work with the former vice president out in front of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) by a 1,237-914 margin. "So the Democratic Party is intent on taking power, period, period, and they mean it, and they’re willing to do kind of whatever they think works," he continued. "I mean that’s demonstrable." “He shouldn’t be working still,” Carlson added of Biden. “I’m not being mean. I know him. I’ve always liked him. But that’s true. And so those are two trains traveling toward each other at high speed, two competing imperatives. We’ve got to win, but we’ve got a guy who can’t win. Therefore, they’re gonna replace him." “This is not the guy I’ve known, and you can ask anybody who knows him or has watched him,” he continued. “This is not him. He’s a completely different person, and he’s in decline, and I feel bad about it. That’ll be me someday. ... I hope somebody loves me enough to not let me run for president.” Carlson proceeded to say who could replace the 77-year-old candidate at the top of the Democratic ticket. “If I had to bet, I would think Andrew Cuomo would be the most likely to replace Biden,” he said. ** thehill.com/homenews/media/489983-tucker-carlson-biden-wont-be-the-democratic-nominee-andrew-cuomo-most-likely

The missing six weeks: how Trump failed the biggest test of his life The president was aware of the danger from the coronavirus – but a lack of leadership has created an emergency of epic proportions "When the definitive history of the coronavirus pandemic is written, the date 20 January 2020 is certain to feature prominently. It was on that day that a 35-year-old man in Washington state, recently returned from visiting family in Wuhan in China, became the first person in the US to be diagnosed with the virus. On the very same day, 5,000 miles away in Asia, the first confirmed case of Covid-19 was reported in South Korea. The confluence was striking, but there the similarities ended. In the two months since that fateful day, the responses to coronavirus displayed by the US and South Korea have been polar opposites. One country acted swiftly and aggressively to detect and isolate the virus, and by doing so has largely contained the crisis. The other country dithered and procrastinated, became mired in chaos and confusion, was distracted by the individual whims of its leader, and is now confronted by a health emergency of daunting proportions." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/28/trump-coronavirus-politics-us-health-disaster

linkFrom the Washington Post.. “Desperate for medical equipment, states encounter a beleaguered national stockpile”From the article.. “ On Feb. 5, with fewer than a dozen confirmed novel coronavirus cases in the United States but tens of thousands around the globe, a shouting match broke out in the White House Situation Room between Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and an Office of Management and Budget official, according to three people aware of the outburst.Azar had asked OMB that morning for $2 billion to buy respirator masks and other supplies for a depleted federal stockpile of emergency medical equipment, according to individuals familiar with the request, who spoke on the condition of anonymity about internal discussions. The previously unreported argument turned on the request and on the budget official’s accusation that Azar had improperly lobbied Capitol Hill for money for the repository, which Azar denied, the individuals said. The $2 billion request from HHS was cut to $500 million when the White House eventually sent Congress a supplemental budget request weeks later. White House budget officials now say the relief package enacted Friday secured $16 billion for the Strategic National Stockpile, more money than HHS had asked for.“ Someone in the trump administration noticed what was going on as early as the first of Feb and was shot down by the trump administration. Not widely reported but it important, the United States actually had someone or someones from the CDC working in China to keep an eye out for potential pandemic viruses until trump slashed their jobs. So anyone who even marginally thinks trump is “doing a good job” in handling this pandemic is really pretty dumb.

He’s not relaying real information. He’s trying to insert uncertainty and panic into the Democratic primary process. Ignore him.

linktrump gave a Fox News a call in interview and said for all to hear that the easier it is to vote, a Republicans would never win elections. Washington Post.. “Trump just comes out and says it: The GOP is hurt when it’s easier to vote”From the article.. ”President Trump on Monday morning became the latest in a procession of Republicans in recent years to say that making it easier for more people to vote would hurt his party politically. In an interview on “Fox & Friends,” Trump referenced proposals from Democrats in the coronavirus stimulus negotiations that would have vastly increased funding for absentee and vote-by-mail options. The final package included $400 million for the effort, which was far less than what Democrats had sought. “ The things they had in there were crazy,” Trump said. “They had things — levels of voting that, if you ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.”
So being able to vote by mail is a “crazy thing” that would stop Republicans from being elected.. In one of Paul Waldman’s column he wrote the Republicans know the voters generally don’t like their message so they try to spin it to make it sound better than it is. For years it’s been the a Republicans that have thrown up roadblocks to make it harder for some (Democrats) to vote. And now we have loose lips trump just blurt out on cable tv. Which probably just thrilled a lot of Republicans trying to hide the reason for all the obstacles they keep throwing in the way of voters. What a sad state of affairs.

Jerry Falwell Jr wins! Ha, no he doesn't, shows his lacking too! Around a dozen students at Virginia's Liberty University have reported being sick with symptoms that are consistent with the coronavirus. The school's director of student health services told The New York Times in an interview that nearly a dozen students had reported symptoms similar to those experienced in confirmed coronavirus cases, with three of those students later being sent to hospitals for testing. No cases of the virus have been confirmed on the school's campus. Liberty was in the news this week after students began returning to the Virginia campus despite the increasing number of coronavirus cases across the nation. Students returning to campus are now reportedly being directed to self-quarantine for two weeks, while Liberty's president, Jerry Falwell Jr., told the Times that around 800 of the 1,900 students who initially returned to on-campus housing for spring semester had voluntarily gone home. It was unclear, Falwell said, how many remained in off-campus housing. The director of student health services, Dr. Thomas Eppes Jr., told Falwell that the school had "lost the ability" to control how many students would be infected should classes resume on campus.“We’ve lost the ability to corral this thing,” Eppes said he told Falwell, according to the Times. But he stopped short of telling Falwell to send students home. "I just am not going to be so presumptuous as to say, 'This is what you should do and this is what you shouldn’t do,'" Eppes said. ** thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/490091-liberty-university-students-report-symptoms-that-suggest-coronavirus

From trump’s daily pack of lies..
Daniel Dale...
”Trump says "probably" some more ventilators will go to Michigan, and there'll be more to New York; "even Alabama flared up all of a sudden," he says, so they'll get some.”
The correct answer should be “All states that need ventilators will receive them.”

Finally!! Twitter does something!! Twitter has in the last week taken down multiple posts from public figures promoting an anti-malaria drug as a way to treat coronavirus.On Friday, the platform removed a tweet from President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani claiming that hydroxychloroquine has been proven a safe way to treat COVID-19, the disease resulting from the novel coronavirus. A spokesperson for the platform confirmed that the tweet was removed for violating its rules over coronavirus misinformation. Twitter earlier this month said it would begin removing coronavirus-related posts that deny expert recommendations, promote fake treatments and prevention techniques, or misleadingly claim to be from authorities. Giuliani's now-deleted post included direct quotes from a tweet by conservative activist Charlie Kirk which has also been removed for violating rules. A March 20 tweet from Fox News's Laura Ingraham claiming that hydroxychloroquine was in use "at many hospitals" and was showing “very promising results" was no longer available on the platform as of Monday. A spokesperson for Twitter declined to comment on whether Ingraham deleted the tweet herself or was compelled to do so, but did confirm that the post fell under the platform's health misinformation policy. ** thehill.com/policy/technology/490245-twitter-takes-down-posts-promoting-anti-malaria-treatment-for-coronavirus

Nate Silver..
”Biden leads Sanders by 19 points in our national poll average. This is basically unchanged over the past several weeks. projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/presiden…”
Sanders needs to drop out. At this point they will be lucky to even have a convention and who knows how many primaries will actually happen.
If Biden’s lead was under 10 percentage points I might think differently.
