The Republican Convention Thread

He failed miserably, everyone except you knows that. That's why you can't move forward.

You do realize that Covid is an individual state government problem right?

 

[Mick]

Ok he failed. What could he have done?

How many times are you going to ask that? Are you waiting for someone to give you an answer you like?

Any answer would suffice.

Well this ^^^^ certainly isn't it.

Just give one that was possible and makes sense

Shut down all international travel earlier, especially from Europe.

 

[utvolpj]

Shut down all international travel earlier, especially from Europe.

So you also agree that Biden would have had an even worse response than Trump? Yet you'll still vote for him?

How much would that have actually done if it was in from China directly?

 

[37L1]

Shut down all international travel earlier, especially from Europe.

Yep, Ol' Nancy and Ol' Joe would have been all for that.

How much earlier? Februrary, March?

 

[utvolpj]

How much earlier? Februrary, March?

And based on what reports at the time. No more fake luther hindsight

 

[Mick]

So you also about that Biden would have had an even worse response than Trump? Yet you'll still vote for him?

How much would that have actually done if it was in from China directly?

So you don't like the answer you got so you type something about Biden. Something I can't make sense of, as if it's a legitimate question and followed that up with a hypothetical?

BUT BIDEN IS NOT YOUR PRESIDENT.

Because Biden said a travel ban was a bad idea. Given their 2 choices the people holding signs look pretty stupid huh?

You made a hypothetical and I asked what real impact would it have had. What data was at hand, but ignored by Trump, that showed a travel ban would have saved more lives than Cuomo ended?

 

[Mick]

And based on what reports at the time. No more fake luther hindsight

Trump lacked the foresight, was unprepared, and cut preparedness funding.

 

[utvolpj]

Trump lacked the foresight and was unprepared and cut preparedness funding.

He should be a mind reader? What data existed to aid in this foresight?

First cases of the virus stated popping up in Europe in February, by Feb 21st only 47 reported cases were in Europe. Trump shut down air travel from Europe on March 10th or 11th.

 

[37L1]

Trump lacked the foresight, was unprepared, and cut preparedness funding.

According to the NYC Head of Public Health, NYC, the heart of this outbreak in this country and the place with the most deaths, was more than prepared. She stated so in February and planned on going to the Chinese New Year's Parade.

“The risk to New Yorkers for Coronavirus is low, and our preparedness as a city is very high. There is no reason not to take the subway, not to take the bus, not to go out to your favorite restaurant, and certainly not to miss the parade next Sunday.”

 

[Mick]

He should be a mind reader? What data existed to aid in this foresight?

The same data his advisors (not Kushner) made their recommendations from.

You mean this data?

Or maybe you want to link something else for us to read

There's a 20 day gap that you're just going to skip past.

 

[utvolpj]

There's a 20 day gap that you're just going to skip past.

He should have shut down air travel from the entire continent of Europe because of 47 cases? That's your argument?

What data are you using to claim he failed that was readily available at the time (late feb)?

 

[37L1]

Is that who Trump listened to?

No, that's who DeBlasio listened to. Pelosi said virtually the same thing on February 24th.

So if your liberal leaders didn't have the chrystal ball and actually opposed the travel bans when Trump initiated them, where's the beef to your argument?

 

[Sea Ray]

i'm waiting for someone to give an answer.

The most sane way to deal with liberals is to give them facts:

1) Trump was correct when he said that due to his direction, no patient went w/o a ventilator. Trump forced this on GM .
Trump invokes Defense Production Act to force GM to make ventilators for coronavirus fight

2) Trump was ahead of Biden in calling for travel bans

On Jan. 31, President Trump issued the travel restrictions from China. One day after the travel restrictions were put into place, Biden said in Iowa, “We have, right now, a crisis with the coronavirus… This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia – hysterical xenophobia – and fearmongering to lead the way instead of science.”

Biden added, repeating a line from his USA Today oped: “Diseases have no borders, they have no borders.”

On March 12, the very same day President Trump implemented further travel restrictions on Europe, leaving little doubt about his thoughts on the travel ban, Biden said, “Banning all travel from Europe or any other part of the world may slow it but as we’ve seen will not stop it. And travel restrictions based on favoritism and politics, rather than risk, will be counterproductive.”

The same day, Biden Tweeted similarly, “A wall will not stop the coronavirus. Banning all travel from Europe — or any other part of the world — will not stop it…”

Biden flips on China travel ban

3) He sent a ship to NY to help out in the C19 fight

4) He's helped secure PPEs

5) Our country through his leadership has tested 65 million

And you actually think Trump knew the number of cases or even trusted their numbers. He shut down travel from China and he didn't trust their numbers or even the numbers coming from who. Maybe he should have.

He, hell everyone knew the numbers in China were in the thousands.

Stop trying to play mind reader.
