It’s clear that the Democrats see the coronavirus outbreak as an opportunity rather than an epidemic. Having failed to bring down President Trump with ridiculous conspiracy theories involving Russia and Ukraine, they are desperately attempting to convince the public he is somehow exacerbating the COVID-19 crisis. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, for example, issued a joint press release Sunday that included the following fiction: “President Trump continues to manufacture needless chaos within his administration and it is hampering the government’s response to the coronavirus outbreak.” Predictably, Pelosi and Schumer fail to provide any objective facts to support this claim.

Without fake crisis the dems & the media would be jobless.......If Trump did anything criminal no one would believe it.

The author is making pre-Bloomberg's $$$$$$$ good sense, but unfortunately, Bloomberg donated 100 million dollars just prior to the House's impeachment vote in late 2019, the donation was specifically for the mostly first term Dem Congresspeople in districts Trump won in 2016, and was the reason many formerly wobbly Dems supported impeachment. And even more unfortunately, a million dollars almost guarantees a slam dunk victory in many House races. If not for Bloomberg, I feel confident that Republicans would retake the House. What I can't fathom is why Bloomberg is underwriting the Democrats given not just the socialism but also, all of the very real toxic Dem thuggery going on in the ranks of the DOJ and elsewhere in our federal government? How could any responsible person underwrite this sort of thing? As they say, this is not your grandfather's Democrat Party.

The virus hype is being overplayed. This will be like everything the democrats do...overplay their hand. NJ gov (liberal) is now order a state of emergency. We are now hearing that this virus could be weaker than the usual virus. The democrats are going to play this hard, because the weather is getting warmer and the virus will be gone.

The reality is, some people will get sick, some really sick, and some will unfortunately die. It is also a reality that this happens EVERY YEAR with with the flu and, while sad, does not signal the end of the world. Nor is there much we can do about it beyond what is already being done. Hopefully a vaccine will be developed quickly and the government will do everything it can to facilitate its production and distribution with priority to the most vulnerable.
Newsome's praise of Trump's response to California's Coronavirus needs effectively knee capped the dem's attacks. He went WAY off message.
The dems insane hectoring of Trump at all costs is going to take its toll on dem chances in November. Rational people KNOW what is causing it, desperation. The reason that the dems are in this desperate situation is that they have NOTHING to offer the Country. Trump has shown their policies don't work and his do. The dems fell back to personal attacks against Trump but every one of them has failed miserably and made the dems look WRONG, foolish, and weak. Trump has now been investigated viciously for 4 years and NOTHING has been found. That makes any new attacks fall flat unless there is hard and convincing evidence, of which there is none. It helps that recent attacks get weaker and dumber and fall apart almost as soon as they are issued. Dem leaders sound ridiculous and their propaganda media barely go on the attack and their narrative falls apart.
Now the dems have narrowed it down to two presidential candidates who both are a disaster for them. With no top ballot energy, they will be wiped out down ballot as well. Everything they do seems to be another boat anchor around their necks.

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck (“You want I break their legs, boss?”) Schumer are speaking not to the American people, but to the liberal/leftist mob that will blindly follow whatever lies come out of their mouths.

#4, what else would you expect from the party which has not only supported but celebrated the murder of 60 million babies over the last 47 years?

At some point we will all need to agree that the Democrat political class is, in all respects, mentally ill and will need to be confined for their own protection.
Currently I've heard there are some holdouts ~ but after checking the latest Nicolle Wallace outrageous statement (to wit, that Xi wouldn't wear his election cap the way Trump does), I really don't think that argument can still be used.
(for any newbies, let me note, Xi is a brutal dictator and doesn't run for office)

The worry is that people always tend too blame/kill the messenger and we have both the corona virus AND the market, and neither will go away short term. That's why it is IMPERATIVE that Trump fulfill promises made: massive numbers of testing kits that were supposed to be in the hands of Drs., public health and hospitals as of YESTERDAY! And they haven't arrived, nor has there been an explanation. The ONLY good I can think of with all of this is that maybe Congress et al. will fulfill one of Trump's campaign promises and lure pharmaceutical companies here in the states to make antibiotics and other needed drugs, 96+% of which are now made in China. The state newspaper there bragged two days ago on how they can decimate us by not allowing drugs here....we are fools if we don't take this seriously.

And just imagine a House of Representatives with no Cortex, Omanie, Pressley, and Tlaib in control of any committees. Outstanding!

I think the House was lost during the Kabuki impeachment scam, even before the virus. Large injections of money can produce a lot of ads but can never take back the incredibly inept performance of Pelosi and her Flying Monkeys. Bloomberg and Steyer showed us how effective money without talent is. Not very.

I hope it throws them into a permanent political minority in this nation for at least a decade. That is what I hope.

Excellent column but I'm not as optimistic as Catron when he says: 'The voters will by then be aware that the current Democratic rhetoric was a grotesquely cynical ploy to mislead and frighten the public for the usual tawdry political purposes. '
The voters who can't elaborate on why they hate DJT are never going to see through Democratic rhetoric. Dumb as doorknobs.

I think the media, the future of the MSM, will be very hard hit with this too. Maybe more than the Hill. It is one thing to try to finagle Americans about politics, and quite another to lie to them about their own survival. The exaggerations and animosity and economic disruption will be remembered for a long time.

What strikes me about the "coronavirus panic" is that I cannot get any useful info from the "drive-by media" and the phony liberal internet bozos that infect the blogger world. Has any "news" source come out and told us what the symptoms are, how the symptoms manifest themselves, how do we treat these symptoms, what is the duration of the infection, how long does an infected person stay infected. I have to wonder why this info has not been front and center from the "news media". Instead of REAL information, we get panic oriented anti-Trump babbling from all of the usual leftist brain-dead morons.

What difference does it make? The Democrats got the $8.2 billion, which wasn't available for the Wall, to spread around to who knows where. Once again, taxpayers get hit in the wallet.
