Governors from seven East Coast states formed a coalition on Monday, led by New York, to develop a joint reopening plan. Three governors from the West Coast formed a similar plan. The 10 states, mostly led by Democrats, together make up 38% of the U.S. economy.
As part of Cuomos effort, McKinsey & Co. is producing models on testing, infections and other key data points that will underpin decisions on how and when to reopen the regions economy, the sources said.

“And are they calling it a coalition so it doesnt sound like a compact...?”
Maybe they should call it a “confederacy.”
Exactly.
These are the leftist fools that weren’t prepared, wildly overestimated the supplies they would need and whined like babies. They refused to shut down and pooh poohed the danger.
Now they are going to hire a trained money from a leftist outfit & they will get it right /s. Their expert is being paid to give them cover and allow the Governors to look capable in Leftist eyes.
Not to mention they ran out of butt hurt salve from needing POTUS help and having to thank him.
See my tagline.

This would be the same McKinsey & Co. that was the chief consultant to ENRON.
I worked for a company that decided they needed to “re-align” the organization...it was a major international mining company...and McKinsey sent a couple of doofus morons to bring us up to date. These two idiots didn’t know a mine haul truck from a bicycle but gave us great terms to laugh at...think outside the box, raise the bar, etc.
We sat in a big conference room in Santiago, Chile for a week...neither of the ass-heads could speak a word of Spanish and had zero understanding of what was involved in managing a mining company...a total, expensive waste of time.
This coalition is a front for the real reason they are doing this. They want to vote in a block for the November election. Everything we have heard over the last couple of years about states pooling their electoral votes and giving it to a candidate is coming true.
This may be awesome news. Blue state collapse, frenzied voters angry at DemoKKKrats. Good combo.
Great a Blue Ribbon Panel, what day next year will they present their results?
“Trump Proof”? - meaning not prosperous or built on job growth or prosperity? More welfare and food stamps?
Nonsense. The Federalists tried this in 1814 and failed. Kollifornia has fiddled with this for three years and failed.
Wait til the Wall Streeters and the gazillion New York City peeps have had enough-—and they WILL reach that point very soon. I’d hate to be Bolshevik DeBlasio or the Venthoarder when that moment happens.
Meanwhile, as much as possible, business will flow to any and all open states. This has solidified PA for Trump, maybe NH.
All three correct.
All three massive losers for DemoKKKrats.
It is true that the China Virus “may” help DemoKKKrats keep the House-—but only because it makes it harder for opponents to campaign and raise money. The same is true for the Senate. Martha McSally and Cory Gardner’s job got a little easier, though both are still on the bubble. After we win AL, I look for a 51-49 R Senate. As of right now, I think we’d win perhaps 5-10 House seats, but not quite enough to recapture. But all things change in 5 months.
I guess “we are all in this together” means fighting Trump and not the ChiCom virus.
If you are or have ever been in a corporate environment and have observed how front line employees respond to outside consultants, you will now get to see the negative reaction on a mass scale!

Oh, I’ve been there.
McKinsey. That name means huge consulting fees for pablum.
Go ahead, throw the voters of your 10 states to Trump, as they watch the rest of the country open up more and faster than they do. The voters in those ten states will realize they are not being sheltered, they are being corraled, like a herd.
It might be nonsense but they will try it. See my post at 19. They can be “starved out” by locking them out of the Federal system. The New York stock exchange(which is actually owned out of Atlanta Georgia) can be virtually moved and NY can collapse into a shell. The progressives know they have to make a move now before people start shooting at them, yet theirs’ is still a pretty weak hand. They have no strong military support that will back them up in their own states, just a very unruly minority ridden populace in their big cities who will not accept the discipline of impressment into a regionally based militia. The muzzies might after certain promised..”concessions” but otherwise the progressive states have bluster and bullying but otherwise they don’t have the guns.
“After we win AL, I look for a 51-49 R Senate.”
The media in NC is pressing hard to remove GOP RINO Senator Richard Burr who has two years left. Burr is under attack for insider stock trading and sale of his Georgetown townhouse, at a premium, to a lobbyist. If Burr resigns, Democrat Governor Cooper will appoint a Dem to the position. So far Burr is hanging tough but the pressure is intensifying and his term lasts to 2022 so it will be a two year assignment at least for whatever Democrat is appointed to the seat. The other GOP Senator, Tillis, is not a shoe in for reelection in 2020. Lose both NC seats and the 51-49R Senate becomes a 51-49D Senate.
Will make a great campaign issue for Republicans, but it’s not right to have to live under these dictators. Start recall petitions.
These morons are playing with fire. Let them put their draconian rules in place and see what happens. I can’t wait to see their temperature Nazi’s trying to keep people from stores. They want to keep us locked up until they can try to force us to take an untested vaccine for this virus. They will have major problems on their hands. I hope it blows up in their faces.
