If Larry Hogan was running for president now he would have my vote. He's shown us what true non-partisan leadership means. But I'm glad he's not because that means he's able to coordinate the "Governor's Response Team" (my term for it). Also, kudos to all the governors out there who realize this isn't the time for politics, but instead for governing.
They are all playing political games - even Hogan - who are you kidding. People are going nuts over Cuomo - he's one of the worst govs there is but they know how to talk the talk and walk the walk.

Not the actual virus, which Trump never said.....

But the actual severity of the virus, as well as the Media and the Left's blowing it out of proportion.

And your continued attempts at misquoting Trump about it only serves to prove that point.
State governors' measures to slow the pandemic down works, resulting in less deaths than predicted if the virus were allowed to go unchecked, and suddenly, "It's a hoax!" Gosh, you people are silly.

People can argue about how to label the people above (lefties, or some other label), but you're right...a lot of people are guilty of all of the above, and they are all hypocrites, not to mention melodramatic. I think they used those terms to create drama and call attention to themselves.

So, all they can do right now is step over Trump, try to solve their own individual problems, and keep us moving in the right direction. This virus has exposed Trump for what he is, and what he is not, and he displays that every night on TV.
I think that feat is going to take more than his base.

You mean not all states are affected the same way and therefore it is up to the governor to decide what measures their state should take? I’m shocked I tell you!

4 of the 5 worst states are Lib controlled States and 8 out of the top 10. Coincidence? Libs can't run anything well...except hoaxes.

This quote will not age well, when states open up too early and have a swell of cases. Looking at Georgia and Florida here...

We can hope a therapy is proven before then. If one is we’ll be in good shape. Hey, haven’t heard President Trump run his yap about hydroxychloroquine for awhile! Wonder why?

No, it's the fact that there's a lot more people probably infected than we thought, which means the death rate is even lower than we thought.

Along with doctors saying that they're being pressured to write up cause of deaths as Covid-19 when they aren't.

Why are we fudging the numbers to make things look worse than they are?
