While many state governors are stepping up to meet the continuing challenges of coronavirus in unprecedented ways, our federal government continues to let us down.
At the White House, we know the president took too long to act, dismissed the seriousness of the pandemic in the earliest days, spread misleading information about test availability and drug treatments at press briefings, and used those briefings to blame everyone from former President Obama to the media for his own leadership failures.
He has publicly contradicted and diminished his own medical experts, belittled governors for demanding more assistance, smirked at the hardship of political rivals, and personally and viciously attacked journalists.
Donald Trump has, in a word, been a disaster. He is too small a man for this big a job.
Over in Congress, the picture isn’t much prettier. While Americans are out of work, running out of money and afraid for their lives and livelihood, lawmakers squabble over procedure and petty politics. Republicans want a stimulus package to include a nearly $450 billion slush fund for Treasury and President Trump to hand out to ailing firms of their choosing.

Likewise, the president refuses to use the levers the federal government has, including the Defense Production Act, and tells state governments, essentially, to figure it out for themselves. “You want a pat on the back for sending 400 ventilators,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo barked at FEMA Tuesday. “What are we going to do with 400 ventilators when we need 30,000?"
It must be up to small-government conservatives to urge bigger government in a time of crisis. Federalism is an important political model for self-governance, but not when states can’t get surgical masks and hospital gowns. If there’s ever a time to feed the beast instead of starve it, it is now.

Notice how she changed when she went to CNN. She used to be a hottie and now she is one step below Joy Behar.

Any video of her doing the Harper Hempel?
I would have back-handed the vicious little runt, and sent the ventilators to a more grateful state...
Democrats always blame somebody else for their failures.
Why haven't these people been punished for their BS?
She’s not worth any substantial intellectual effort, to be blunt. She’s always been a never trump bore.
