    "Enthusiasm"?...still trying to figure that one out. Not sure how that could be when Biden is leading by double digits in most NATL polls.

    It’s the Wapo/NBC actual polling data.

    Trump is not a debater, he's not a speaker, he's only good at misinformation, lies, and insulting people...none of which are compelling.

    Some of the shit you hear from Republicans. A cousin of mine on Facebook posted his theory that Bill Gates and Fauci are buddies and colluding to spread the Coronavirus in an elaborate attempt to have people micro chipped.

    Uh wtf

    He grew up in the south and believes being liberal is a mental illness. Yet both his parents are staunch Democrats

    The stupidity that the far right brings out of people is mind boggling

    data is incomplete because of a lack of testing, now and earlier

    the trends for Oregon are encouraging:

    upload_2020-4-14_12-3-6.png

    https://public.tableau.com/profile/...origin=viz_share_link&:showShareOptions=false

    Brown today:

    " Brown said efforts made by the state have helped to flatten the curve of the coronavirus spread. She said her framework for restarting public life and business in the state is driven by science and has three prerequisites:


    1. Slowed growth: fewer cases of COVID-19
    2. Adequate PPE to protect health care workers and first responders
    3. A robust public health framework: increased testing, contact tracing and effective isolation
    The governor said she couldn't give a specific time frame for when the state will begin to ease COVID-19 restrictions.

    "This is going to move much slower than any of us want, but that is the only way to protect the health and safety of Oregonians," Brown
    tweeted.

    so, criteria #1 is looking decent

    as for criteria #2, adequate PPE in Oregon, I have no clue where you'd find that info

    criteria #3 is the big variable. In a state of 4.2M people, what is an adequate level of testing 10%? 5%?....I don't know. Seems like 5% might be a decent baseline. That would be 200,000 tested and we've only tested a shade over 30,000 so far

    maybe she was being purposefully vague, or maybe Oregon, like just about every state is flying blind because of the massive testing failures

    lol @ the idea that Trump is good in debates.

    Well, he lies and talks over people. And he's rude.

    That makes him a good debater?

    Trumps going to get smashed in the debates. Even by a senile old timer like Biden.

    Unlike 2016 Trump actually has a record to glean over.

    As bad as it is to fathom but the fringe voter who swayed Trump in 2016, thinks he done a fucked up job handling this pandemic, the economy is trash and was heading that way before covid.

    I’m sure Trump will be a dick though during the debates and interrupt him a lot spouting off fake news fake news while his sheeple hold onto their boners.

    Tried to find it actually published on wapo/nbc websites,...can't find it and again, the dates seems odd. Also, not sure about the "enthusiasm" stat...how can Trump currently be so far ahead in that stat when most national polls show Biden leading Trump by a good bit ?

    I believe it’s the “hold your nose” voter. They will support Biden, but not too happy about it.

    This is one of the reasons why I’m pretty confident about November:

    I seem to remember you saying this same thing when Trump was debating Hillary and she was a way better debater than Joe could ever dream to be.

    here we are, Trump being your president.

    I know that they were tracking cases in the beginning but stopped as they couldn't keep up?
    They have been sitting on test kits since the numbers started falling.
    Both of these area's are now part of the three state plan.

    not even a talking point. At that point in time we hadn’t had 4 years of Trump turning the presidency into a mockery.

    The Democratic Party was also disenfranchised at the time because of Bernie basically getting frauded out of it by Wasserman-Schultz.

    Now there’s actually a record to go off of and a large number of people who hate Trump.

    The rust belt got nothing Trump promised and like any election they make or break it for a President. Farmers are pissed at Trump too. But they make up such a small % of the voting block.

    Biden has always been good at relating to the middle class. Blue collar workers.

    So many differences between then and now

    Meanwhile on Corona virus, from Florida:

    The governor, same one who invited young folks to pack hotel rooms and bars for spring break, declared wrestling an essential function.

    Cops in Miami handcuffed black doctor who tests and treats homeless was cuffed by cops in front of his house for no reason
    https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article241922706.html

    Well, there was a reason, of course, just not a crime, at least not by him.
