Democrats Have Imploded on Holding Trump Accountable
Washingtonian ^ | 3/20/20 | Benjamin Wofford

It’s official: Democrats have completely blown the messaging around coronavirus.

**SNIP**

Let’s examine the most recent window of exposure - the past eight days. On March 12, the New York Times ran the following headline: “The President as Bystander: Trump Struggles to Unify a Nation on Edge.” Anyone who read this would have thought, just as I did, that Trump’s goose was cooked.

But in the next eight days, Americans heard little from Nancy Pelosi beyond bill negotiations. They heard little in the way of indictments from Joe Biden. They’ve heard nothing from the DNC. The scattered criticisms on the Senate floor have been about passing bills, not failures of leadership.

What Americans did hear were comments like David Axelrod’s, who said that “now doesn’t seem to be the moment” for attacks on Trump. They heard from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who said Trump’s response has been “everything that I could have hoped for.” And bafflingly, they heard from Rep. Ilhan Omar, who overlooked the hundreds of lies and missteps that got us here in order to highlight a handful of obvious and all-too-late steps:

Ilhan Omar ✔ @IlhanMN
Politics aside, this is incredible and the right response in this critical time. 👏🏽 https://twitter.com/lhfang/status/1240347628048486400 …

It's the worst crisis since Katrina. They've dithered over a racist virus meme.

Bless their hearts. (In NJ, that translates over to 'sucks to be them'.)

If Trump’s poll numbers go any higher the media are going to have to put an end to this crisis.

It’s obvious that the MSM is the Democrat party. Questions at the press briefing have removed any reasonable doubt. Anyone that watches the briefings would know the MSM is in fact the enemy of the people.

The Presidents poll numbers are likely the reason this rag has written this handwringing article.
He’s gained about 10 points since the Wuhan/Chinese virus was unleashed on the Globalists New World Order. Densely populated urban areas being the most at risk. Their voting base.

This shows what is important to the Democrats and the news media: Trying to make the President fail (and failing at it AGAIN), and looking for something to call racist. Coronavirus and the harm it causes is just a means to their ends.

Katrina was the nations greatest peacetime rescue effort in history, it was something to be proud of. “Katrina” is a hoax perpetrated by Fox News and others, that’s when Fox news lost me.

“It’s official: Democrats have completely blown the messaging around coronavirus.”

Wofford gives away the game right here: exploiting the virus to defeat Trump. All the blather thereafter about Trump’s supposed failings are left wing distortion and spin that they’ve employed for the the last three years. As the end comes into sight, Trump will have shown himself to be an effective crisis manager while the Democrats and the media will be seen as hysterical back stabbers. Not to mention that many in the MSM have been exposed as agents of influence bought and paid for by the ChiComs. They really jumped the shark when they declared that the term “China virus” was racist.

yes - that’s the key... the corrupt leftist media is driving this panic - Trump needs to take ‘em out.

continue the daily progress briefings (maybe less questions), close borders and more financial actions

Means the same in Texas and the South.

The Democrats are locked into screaming “Orange Man Bad!” during the never ending Two Minute Hate. They are in a psychotic breakdown where there is no return to sanity. Just Haldol and Thorazine. Barring that, well, Nancy Pelosi now looks like Marshall Applewhite. Will she gather the Democrats for the next pass of the Hale Bopp Comet?

The MSM (like CNN) are blaming the PRESIDENT tonight
mercilessly.

And yet, it was the MSM that attacked the ELECTED PRESIDENT
to let their MSM-WuhanVirus kill, and kill and kill.
