Will democrats use the Coronavirus in another of their attempts to do things that make sense?

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Way to go Gavin. It's thinking like this that should have been used before trump handed over 2.2 trillion dollars to Ruth's Chris and who knows who else.

Things are only too hard to do when you quit without trying. So what that everyone doesn't get a meal from wherever they choose; this program is focused on both the people in need and the restaurants in need. I hope they have good results.

Its not too late to say President Newsom.

We seem so screwed on timing.

Biden should have run in 2016. I see him as unfit today, but don't see anyone better. If Biden does win, Newsom would have to run against whoever Biden picks as vp in the 2024 primary, or wait until 2028 after the public is sick of another mediocre dem admin.

We really need somebody now.

I would have really like to see Newsom as Biden's VP, giving him a reasonable chance at President soon. But Biden already (unnecessarily) promised to take a woman VP, and it's probable Newsom wouldn't desert California until more of the pandemic is over. But he'll be a hero then, probably nationally.

Unless one is counting on Biden dying in office, isn't CA Gov a far more powerful post than VP and a better, more visible launchpad for a POTUS run?

Yes, if you expect Biden to live out his term. Otherwise...

Yes, but it would also not be realistic to think there's no chance he'll croak. If you get to his age, you've got a good chance of going at least another 10 years if you're in decent health, which he appears to be, but shit happens. So does covid. And added stress. And falls. And bitter Trumpists.

He could also become unfit for office.

Apparently being unfit for office isn't grounds for removal.

It almost killed Boris Johnson (having the initials ‘BJ’ on top of the surname 'Johnson' is a little much, mum and da'). I'll predict that CV-19 takes one or more of the 70+ year-old candidates and former candidates.

I'm not sure that the same idiocy applies when a dem is president.

Not saying Covid-19 isn't real...
Is it a coincidence that just when the economy is booming, the stock market is setting record highs, we are winning the trade wars, school shootings have stopped, our nation is at peace, the Democratic party is a disaster and so is their likely nominee? (Biden). He hasn't a chance in hell & they're not about to let an outsider (Bernie) destroy their scheme. It looks like Trump is a sure bet for reelection after fending off 3 years of investigations and impeachment, then all of a sudden world crisis pandemic. Stock market tumbles, companies are laying off employees, everything is closed and canceled, CEO's of giant companies are resigning and indictments are coming. Now they say there are a couple ways a President doesn't win reelection. Those are an unpopular war or a poor economy. But there is something larger going on here driving this sudden outbreak right after Trump beats an impeachment. Especially the fact that it (Corona Virus) originated in China who we are in a global trade war with; brought on by Trump. Let's not forget Biden's back door deals with China as well. China doesn't want 4 more years of Trump either. It all seems rather convenient for the nations and opponents of our current President and economy 5 months before an election. Couldn't have hit at a more perfect time. With the Democrats running out of campaign talking points, in light of no school shootings, no migrant caravans at the southern border, fighting in Syria winding down, North Korea not firing missiles and Trump beating a sham impeachment. The Corona Virus gave them one last hail Mary to try and point fingers at Trump with the clock winding down in 2020. A little too well timed, nah, it's just a coincidence.

:lol: Even if the many clear lies, the raging paranoia and the lack of paragraphs weren't obvious enough clues, anyone other than a chronically gullible Trumpette like 1 FAT CAN would have been smart enough to search The Hill:
Your search yielded no results

Check if your spelling is correct.
Remove quotes around phrases to search for each word individually. bike shed will often show more results than "bike shed".
Consider loosening your query with OR. bike OR shed will often show more results than bike shed.
Or smart enough to look at fact check sites:
https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2020 ... ns%27.html
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/gowdy-covid19/

Or smart enough to google.

But no, supposed LEO 1 FAT CAN again proves that s/he's a moron, the world's worst investigator.

It's on Facebook? Good, way much larger platform, even if it leans to the left.

Obama - Joe, I'm endorsing you.
Biden - For what?

Maybe you should claim authorship. No one else is stupid enough to claim it as theirs.
You could be famous.

The best part:

The debates were just a formality, the DNC got what they wanted, again.

I assume that he's a dem.

As for this huge effort - go for it, I'll get my stock profits later - looks like you may have found a better place to use it.
