DeWine is on CNN...I certainly did not support him ...he is GOP and bad on reproductive rights but

he is doing a good job on Corona...schools closed, but they got a waiver to feed hungry kids who will miss school lunch. He is working with UH and Cleveland Clinic and Cincy to make sure we have capacity and is warning it will get worse before it gets better. We are at 500 test a day capacity in Cleveland Clinic which is a huge improvement...DeWine did it on his own with no help from dirty doninie like every governor. I didn't and wouldn't vote for DeWine but he is leading on this since Trump behaved completely irresponsibly.

Bernie Needs a Big Win, and He's Betting It All on Michigan

..."But Biden might have the edge on another issue crucial to Michigan voters.. As vice president, he played a key role in the auto bailout that helped save Michigan’s economy from the brink in 2009. Sanders voted against the Wall Street bailout that included auto bailout funds (though he did vote to fund a bailout for the industry in a separate billy). Clinton slammed him for that move in 2016, and it’s likely to resurface before Tuesday.

“NAFTA is sort of a gut check-issue about how much you care about workers in the heartland, so I think that's a tough, tough, a tough one for the vice president,” said Rep. Andy Levin (D-Mich.) who had backed Elizabeth Warren in the primary.

“And Sen. Sanders voted against the auto bailout in the end. We wouldn’t be here without that, so that’s a problem for him,” Levin said in a subsequent conversation."

The rigidity that led Sanders to vote to destroy autos means that he should not be our nominee...and the fact is there would be no autos if the GOP joined by Sanders had successfully stopped the TARP money containing both emergency funds and the fund used eventually as loan to the autos after a successful bankruptcy being released. I would add this loan was paid back with considerable interest and thousands of jobs were saved...no thanks to Sen.Sanders who in the end voted against the autos.
