We really need these sane and intelligent voices during this nightmare since we're getting nothing on a federal level except for hot air and incitement. It's been up to the governors for a very long time and they're obviously not all on the same page. I'm fortunate that I have Governor Cuomo who's emerged as a national voice and we're all lucky to have him.

That said, thanks and welcome to DU!

Every time I see this, I grit my teeth in anger at the panel's smug reaction. Elitism in the media? Oh Yes!

Jeez, almost forgot: Thanks for the greeting!

And nobody there took him seriously. Who's laughing now?? It started out badly and everytime you think it can't possibly get worse (abandoning our allies, ignoring a global pandemic, etc., etc.), Trump manages to surpass even himself...
