He's not the governor of my state so I never really paid to much attention to him but he seems to be doing a damn fine job through this crisis.
But yeah. He seems very much in control and very clear and precise. Compare it to Trumps circus shows."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

People like this are baffling. What idiots support them?
Way to go Governor.
NY and NJ governors doing a good job fighting this absent any leadership from the feds.
Gotta keep fighting
So many deaths and it is going to increase.

Cuomo is “probably the single most important person in terms of the drive to close down hospital beds in this state over the last 20 years,” said Sean Petty of the New York State Nurses Association in a terrific interview with Democracy Now. Petty continued, “Specifically because of policies that Governor Cuomo has pursued, we are now 20,000 beds behind where we need to be in terms of trying to scale up our capacity.’” A flattering U.S. News article titled “How Coronavirus made Andrew Cuomo America’s Governor” (an obvious reference to the way Rudy Giuliani was called “America’s Mayor” after 9/11) points out that in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, the governor has “us[ed] New York’s resources to buy personal protective equipment and expand hospital bed space.” But does that actually mean anything, given that Cuomo trimmed the budget—much like the quarantine buzzcuts everybody’s been doing—way too close in the first place?

Again, if I am wrong then I apologize.
Thanks though!0 -

One can balance things out, and put forth other sides of the coin in question. It's not a teamsport with MY team and the OTHER team.
I praised his President-in-a-Michael-Bay-movie style of stern comfort in his briefings. Also his playful relationship with his brother I have linked videos to. And I stand by that.https://youtu.be/K6RfnO6ULMQ
Cuomo is not perfect by any means but he is a pure leader during this abysmal time.0 -

Why is it hard to believe the virus was around in Feb?
Instead he golfed
Further, the idiot in charge of Florida is a Trump Stooge. Look at everything he said yesterday....third most populous state in the us and he kept checking with Donny to ask if they were recommending he take these steps (lock down)
He didn't hear a Yes, so he didn't go it.
He played the Trump card....he pushed responsibility to others beneath him. In this case, the counties and cities in Florida.
Where is the leadership from either idiot?
As far as the Super Bowl....why would Desantis make this claim?
He didn't feel it was around in any way to be concerned about during spring break.....he didn't even announce the first positive case in FL until a month after the Super Bowl.
How do all of these things connect?
My point was that he failed his people and is an idiot. (Go up the ladder - same thing)The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -

Has Trump condemned what Rush Limbaugh said about Dr. Fauci this week?
Asking for all the people who keep saying both sides are equally bad.0 -

And who do you think will take credit when this is over?
Here is my take. Most of the Western World did not do a good job with this. But....There is only one US President right now. There is only one WHite House Administration right now. There is only one Republican controlled Senate.
It is the President's job to lead, and then people follow. The governors were left to fend for themselves and took the lead from the WHite House that this wasn't a big deal and was an impeachment hoax. The different government organizations take the lead from the administration. You can say everyone was unprepared, but there was information out there in Dec/Jan and the leader/party that is in power and asked for votes so they could be in power and in-charge failed to act soon enough. If someone that works for me fails to start a project and the client gets mad, they are calling me because it is my fault and failure to lead.
Sure, we were unprepared before Trump took office. But there were two months practically that the US failed to lead and take action.
Not trying to poke the bear, but in all fairness the only thing the Democrats were focused on was the ongoing impeachment when the initial news broke. Not saying this is their fault, just stating that they had their minds elsewhere as well. I do agree with many of your points.***This is not an endorsement for trump***
It sorta is. This was on March 9th. March 9.See new TweetsTweet
So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!
Your recollection is vastly inaccurate. Think about that.The Democrats do not run the CDC or other agencies to prepare for a crisis like this. It is literally the presidents job to do so. So to create a comparison of what the democrats were doing in january is dangerously ignoring what the potus job was to do at that time. Go ahead and take a look at how Clinton handled his impeachment. He focused on his job. As recently as March 9 trump was not taking this seriously and there were significant delays in testing and shelter in place recommendations that will cost tens of thousands of lives. That has nothing to do with what democrats were doing up to feb 5.
That “false sense of security” is exactly what is costing lives.

Has Team Trump Treason condemned the guy who purposely derailed a train near the hospital ship Mercy because of a conspiracy theory yet?

Damn. This thread has gone sideways. I'm personally going to step aside for a while to let everyone discuss Trump, both sides, etc. Be safe and healthy, everyone!
