WASHINGTON — The White House moved on Thursday to tighten control of coronavirus messaging by government health officials and scientists, directing them to clear all statements and public appearance with the office of Vice President Mike Pence, according to several officials familiar with the new approach.

President Trump announced Wednesday evening that Mr. Pence would coordinate the government’s response to the public health threat even as he played down the immediate danger from the virus that is spreading rapidly across the globe. Mr. Pence was scheduled to lead a meeting of the government’s coronavirus task force on Thursday.

Officials insist the goal is not to control the content of what subject-matter experts and other officials are saying, but to make sure their efforts are being coordinated, after days of confusion with various administration officials showing up on television.

This is when we start to find out that he has no intention of ever dropping out and he's working with Trump to make sure the election goes to trump. Rich people band together when there's an existential threat to their money like Sanders.

He said Mike pence created a healthcare system that other states are very jealous of and are modeling their healthcare after his plan. Fact Check!

Mike Pence is going to be jettisoned before the election. When coronavirus goes through the US, Pence will get the blame and Trump just set him up as the fall guy. Nicky Haley will be the replacement in an effort to get more women to vote for Trump.

ok

azrider wrote:also don't believe the polls when it comes to a general election against trump. other than faux news and some radio stations, the news, media, and entertainment industry has done a fantastic job going all in anti-trump (granted most of it is well deserved) but they have shamed and ridiculed those who would vote for him or share some of his ideas. this ridicule may even go to friends, family, workplace or let's say even a message board where they may be called insignificant. these people have gone underground, there is a significant amount of individuals that will vote for trump who won't admit it to some random pollster anonymously over the phone for fear of embarrassment or backlash.

be very cautious of the numbers, because the same confidence that hillary had just minutes before voting began predicting a near landslide, will happen again. so if the polls say sanders may have a chance against trump, i hate to say it don't believe it. i wouldn't trust anything unless it was double digits.

even with all that being said... anyone but sanders, does beat trump. to lose to trump is quite an accomplishment actually.

New head-to-head Marquette polls in Wisconsin:

Sanders 48%, Trump 46%
Trump 46%, Biden 46%
Trump 46%, Klobuchar 46%
Trump 45%, Buttigieg 45%
Trump 45%, Bloomberg 44%
Trump 47%, Warren 44%

The 2016 election.

But keep mocking me just like you did last time around when I told you not only that Trump was going to win but how he was going to win. Or you can take my advice and get out of the bubble so you're not devastated when Trump wins again.
