    If the Democrat superdelegates at the upcoming convention have enough votes I won't be at all surprised if they cause a brokered convention and select Cuomo as their presidential candidate rather than the Castro-loving, Moscow-honeymooning avowed radical socialist/communist Sanders or the addled, senile groper of anyone wearing a skirt Biden.
    I think you're confusing Biden for Trump.

      How on earth can you legally challenge a collection of your own words? We should be putting this man's words and actions front and center for all to see. He and his administration have made significant gaffs that are costing lives and promise to cost many, many more. And his comments about not calling "that woman" in Michigan should be incorporated into an ad and played relentlessly in Michigan until 11/3. Let the people of Michigan decide how enamored they are of the man they helped put in office in 2016.

      And now he's pushing back on oversight of a $500B bailout fund. Given this man's history with finances, his enriching of himself through his office, and his animosity for the truth, I do not want him or any of his cronies managing a $500B bailout fund without someone looking over their shoulder and reporting. In fact, I wouldn't want ANY administration having control of that much money without oversight.

Per the powers defined in the Constitution, it is the president's job as the head of the executive branch to put laws into action and see that they are enforced. Democrats, however, are trying to claim that the inspector general mentioned in the bill is somehow an independent entity who can act without executive oversight, which is ignorant and dangerous. While the inspector general delivers reports to Congress, he is, in fact, working for and answerable to the President. Of course Congress doesn't like that, but that's what separation of powers is all about. Congress has their people, and the President has his. This is the system working as intended.

              But since you mentioned Michigan, here's a good campaign ad for you:

              Jim Santilli told talk radio host Steve Gruber he is “living proof” the combination of the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin works.

              Santilli said he became seriously ill March 18 “with severe cardiac and respiratory issues” and was admitted to Henry Ford Macomb Hospital in metro Detroit.

              According to Gruber, “Santilli said the biggest problem was waiting for test results that took four days to come back. In the meantime his condition worsened by the hour, and he thought he was going to die.”

              “Santilli says he was slowly drowning and was convinced he ‘would not live until midnight.’ That’s when doctors made a decision he says changed everything,” Gruber said.

              The survivor said the drug combination began to work “within a few hours.”

              Santilli credited Trump for his survival.

              “Donald Trump recommending that medication combination saved my life and a lot of other people’s lives,” he told Gruber.

              Santilli criticized Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) for her recent threat against doctors and pharmacists, and believed it is a “terrible decision,” adding, “She is sentencing people to death.”

                        In the past 30 days Trump, however, claimed he had the cornona virus under control.

                            And you never forgot what day it is, what year it is? Ever put the wrong date on a check? Have you ever travelled from state to state on a daily basis, because people that do sometimes mistake which state they are in, doesn't make them senile. And I doubt he ever forgot his name, though I'm sure you could be easily convinced that he did. Trump says stupid or ignorant things all the time, doesn't make him senile, just makes him stupid, ignorant, or a liar.

                              Taken in context, he was obviously not saying that the problem was solved but that his administration was on top of the situation and taking necessary action. People seem to forget that he was among the first world leaders to restrict travel to and from China, but instead of applauding his quick and common sense response, the Democrats naturally accused him of racism and xenophobia.

                                No. He is, in fact, one of the most transparent US presidents in decades. I honestly can't remember the last president who held almost daily impromptu press briefings like Trump. He regularly stops to talk to the media on his way to and from various events, and he's the first president I can remember who invites the press to cabinet meetings as a matter of routine. He's not shy and answers every question put to him. Of course you never see it in the nightly news because 1) the vast majority of what he says is non-controversial; and 2) the media knows that the more the voters see Trump, the more they like him. This is why they have seriously considered halting the live airing of the Chinese flu task force briefings, because Trump's approval ratings are on the rise, and liberals desperately want to control the narrative.
