New York Governor Andrew Cuomo called on the federal government to take control of the medical supply market. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker demanded that President Trump take charge and said “precious months” were wasted waiting for federal action. Some critics are even more direct in demanding a federal takeover, including a national quarantine.
It is the legal version of panic shopping. Many seem to long for federal takeovers, if not martial law. Yet like all panic shopping, they are buying into far more than they need while not doing as much as they could with what they have.

The fascism is strong in these Democrats and enemedia who routinely complain about asserted but not evident fascism in President Trump. He frustrates them no end with his even-handed and non-Hitler-like actions.

Governors Step One : Blame Trump
Governors Step Two : Blame Trump
Governors Step Three well ok
Governors Step 18 Blame Trump and tell everybody to lay low. Have your chef and your staff do the grocery shopping and make sure your medical assistants do a daily TEST on you and announce the NOT verdict.
Governors Step 4 : Try to look like Cuomo because both Joe!!! and Bernie!!! are a bit sick.

Well, of course they should, but that would require them to be competent, caring leaders. And few Dems are either competent or caring and almost none are leaders.

A tiger will lose his stripes and become a panther before the Cuomo clan change.

Cuomo using percentages to describe how much others got and NY got short changed. He compared Wyoming, the lowest population in the states, to NY, one of the most populated states only got 5 billion dollars for aid. Wyoming only got millions that amounted to 17% of their budget. Five billion was one 1.4% of NY budget.

Yeah, NY didn't get a significant portion of its grossly bloated budgets from the aid package. It's a similar thing to what happened when the tax cuts went through and state income taxes were deduction capped. States that overtaxed their citizens could no longer pass all of it over to the federal government. That was one of the most brilliant moves that I have seen.
In addition, Cuomo who deeply underprepared his state for this pandemic by creating death panels instead of buying ventilators wants Trump to bail him out by buying the ventilators and other supplies. Then when they are delayed because of shortages, it will be Trump's fault.
Dems are never responsibility for their incompetence and the games they play.

Chutzpa at its finest. Demonrats didn't care about the Coronavirus in Jan because they were too busy attempting to impeach the president. That took priority.
Demonrats would like nothing better than to nationalize every single business in the USA as it would fit their communist agenda.
The two whining demonrat governors. In the last medical crisis, Cuomo's answer was a Death Panel to decide who lived and who died. He took out his entire stock of ventilators then refused to spend a single penny to restock it. He was offered ventilators at a discount price and declined. The 4000 the goobermint recently sent him went straight to storage because he "had no need for them". Now he's whining that NYC isn't getting enough money from the $2.2T bailout. To date, no one has looked into the IL governor's activities. I suspect it's the same as any demonrat governor.

If these governors can't handle their states they need to step down.

The governors who do the most squawking are the incompetent ones who are incapable of dealing with a crisis. So they call for Daddy, the Feds, to take charge. Cuomo, Pritzker, Inslee are front and center asking to be rescued, and they are the ones who are the nastiest critics of Trump. After watching Trump on Sunday's briefing, I asked my wife if she could imagine what it would be like if instead of Trump it were Hilary, Biden, Warren, Harris or even Obama and any Democrat bozo standing up there. Trump and his appointees are the only adults in the room and he has the managerial skills to pull us through this crisis.
