Re: 2020 Election
The contrast between Cuomo’s press conference and Trump’s bumbling “it’s all about me” conferences is.... stunning. A true tragedy that the US has Trump as president.

Both have been publicly saying things that contradict Trump's lies. They haven't criticized him as far as I know ... just reported facts.

Fauci stated that he could hardly tackle Trump to the ground when he was stood at the microphone telling lies. If that isn't a damning statement I don't know what is.

Stay Alive, Joe Biden
Democrats need little from the front-runner beyond his corporeal presence.https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...-biden/608614/
An interesting article and one I think reflects the reality behind the campaign focus.

Even my wife, who was all-in on Trump because 'he's doing what he said he would' for the first time yesterday called him an idiot that is making the situation in the US worse. I think it was the 'the Federal Government is not a shipping clerk' comment that finally broke the camels back.

I totally understand why Trump is attempting to terminate this ad with a 'cease and desist' letter. It's a powerful message.

Update - played for me later. Who is 'Guy Cecil'? Good one! What's the basis for 'cease and desist'?

According to Politico, that the cut speech misrepresents what Trump said.

A sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden has ignited a firestorm of controversy
https://www.vox.com/2020/3/27/211959...ult-allegationA woman says Biden assaulted her in 1993. Now #TimesUpBiden is trending.
Makes a lot of sense for Bernie to stay in, could well be last man standing.

Re: 2020 Election
I'm not a big fan of these "selectively edited" video clips. But it really doesn't misrepresent what Trump says based on the transcript. Predictably Trump is reacting the only way he knows, by attempting to bully and threaten television stations that are showing the ad. I hope they make another ad illustrating the behaviour in response to their first ad.

Re: 2020 Election
I don't understand how they're reporting that Trump's approval rating is up, is this some kind of alternate universe where the worse you do your job the more praise you get?

It would seem so among his advocates.
