I do not even like him and his politics, but I think he is doing great, showing some real leadership.
He should be the Democratic nominee, lol.
Pretty much says everything about this "libertarian".
Cuomo will be someone to watch maybe as VP. I say Bernie is the best for party unity but realistically Cuomo is a good pick. If not, he'll be someone to watch for future Democrat tickets.
As for Paul, you know if it's bad when both senators from Arizona attack him for being an idiot and using common areas after his test. The other stupid optometrist of Congress (Rep. Gosar) at least self quarantined when he considered himself at risk. Paul went about ignorant until the results came back in.
Both China and Italy took drastic measures to get there. We're not doing that here, and I doubt we will.
That is the truth. We Americans love our "freedoms" so much that any attempt to keep us from infecting others is considered an attack on those freedoms. These are unusual times, and companies and the government are putting dollars ahead of people's lives, and that is unconscionable .

Keep in mind that there will be thousands,if not millions, that will survive this but without so much as a penny in their pocket.
There has to be a balance found.
Trump, in Tweet, Says He’s Considering Plan that Would Kill a Lot of People.
The president, concerned about the economy, is considering abandoning the measures public health experts warn are needed to deal with the coronavirus.
Epidemiologists are asking the public to “flatten the curve” of coronavirus infections by observing “social distancing.” It’s unclear how long we’ll have to do that — particularly absent a vaccine — and that’s both a bummer and a drag on the economy, as people miss out on human connections and businesses get shuttered en masse. But it seems like a bit less of a bummer when you put into plain language what “flattening the curve” by “social distancing” means in plain English: STAY THE **** HOME SO PEOPLE DON’T HAVE TO DIE IN THE STREET BECAUSE HOSPITALS GET TOO FLOODED WITH SICK PEOPLE TO HELP THEM.
In that light, dealing with even a lot of economic and personal pain seems worth it, especially with an estimated 2.2 million American lives at stake.
Everyone knows that Trump loves to rant about the economy and how well it’s doing. And personally I can see Trump putting aside looking for a cure and wanting to get the economy moving again.
Personally I don’t think he wants anyone dead but given the two I do believe that the economy is more important then we are.
This article backs the one above up.
We can't have the cure be worse than the problem," Trump told reporters at a press briefing, echoing a midnight Sunday tweet. "We have to open our country because that causes problems that, in my opinion, could be far bigger problems."
Trump acknowledged there were trade-offs, "there's no question about that," but claimed that, if closures stretch on for months, there would be "probably more death from that than anything that we're talking about with respect to the virus."
Keep in mind that there will be thousands,if not millions, that will survive this but without so much as a penny in their pocket.
There has to be a balance found.
I think the middle ground is to focus on protecting the elderly with masks, social distancing, home delivery, and so forth, while letting it run rampant among the young and make them stay home if they're sick. Nobody under 50 with COVID-19 is allowed hospitalization. That way the economy can stay safe and the rich can enjoy their billions. Plus we'll have built up herd immunity. It's cruel, but it could minimize total deaths.
Are you kidding? The population density is not exactly that of butt **** USA. And if Sweet Potato Twitler did not lie, withhold information and refuse WHO test kits, we'd be way ahead of the curve.
so your response to fact is insult and lies?
What do we "know" about the virus:
more contagious than the flu
long period it may take to show symptoms
relies on close "prolonged" contact
much worse for old and with other health factors.
Wuhan is a city about the same population as NYC, though it sprawls over a 10x area.
DeBlasio and Cuomo could have easily known 2 weeks prior that the right course of action was an immediate "quarantine in place" for NYC. 2 weeks ago, Italy was THE hotspot, and had already gone under strict quarantine.
You know, out here in "butt **** USA" we do rely on getting in our cars to get groceries, go out to eat, etc. In NYC - is it more common to have goods delivered than to get in a car to shop?
Instead, we'll get NY'ers like you who blame Trump for the decisions and failures of the state leadership. Personally, I think it's clear that both DeBlasio and Cuomo were hoping Trump would do their dirty work for them, so they didn't have to play the bad guys.
