I would LOVE to see Biden answer exactly in that way. It would show the electorate, in as clear a way as possible, just how unwilling he is to actually face any serious scrutiny. Most people, at least those not blinded by partisanship, know that Trump's tax returns have absolutely NOTHING to do with whatever Biden's coronavirus strategy might be. But go ahead, Joe. Anytime anyone asks you a question, including "what time is it?" tell them that you won't answer until Trump releases his tax returns. It's the political equivalent of pleading the Fifth Amendment every time you're asked something.

The question was, and still is, what would Biden have done differently?


If you believe Biden would have used the DPA before Trump did, when would he have done so?

Which companies would have been involved?

What would have been produced faster because the act was initiated?

As for "the scientists," which ones were second-guessed and about what?

Did "the scientists" disagree with other scientists and/or change their position at some point?

If "the scientists" can't be second-guessed, what would be the correct course of action when they disagree or one or more reverse their opinion?



Maybe this will help...

Government officials and executives at rival ventilator companies said they suspected that Covidien had acquired Newport to prevent it from building a cheaper product that would undermine Covidien’s profits from its existing ventilator business. In 2014, with no ventilators having been delivered to the government, Covidien executives told officials at the biomedical research agency that they wanted to get out of the contract, according to three former federal officials. The executives complained that it was not sufficiently profitable for the company.

The Obama FTC rubber stamped the merger while Fauci fiddled and Slow Joe took a nap.

Thank God we didn't actually need the extra ventilators!

I think the point was that no libertarian minded person would even consider voting for Kamala Harris.
Obama and his mandate that all people should have health care or they will be fined for each member of the family if they don't and the fine increased every year. Trump stopped that one.. Seems the democrats love those Communist mandates to rule us.

You are not a conservative. A Harris presidency would destroy this country. Trump's policies and achievements are more conservative than any republican president we've had since Reagan. Fornicate your football analogy. You are a McCain, Romney, Flake style conservative but you know nothing about true conservatism. Just join the demonic party. You'll fit right right in. Their god is the state.

A senile old guy who can't remember who he is and what he is running for.. you got to be kidding.. Trump runs circles around the guy getting so many things done I can't believe it all.. the list is still growing and growing. Trump is now reforming the drug prices getting them lowered and making hospitals show the prices of what cost what to know what the charges are.

I wouldn't care if he's a Martian.
He's building the wall, nominating and confirming conservative judges, and he's keeping The White House safe for the next Republican. And those are the things that matter.
