There are more Republican Voters Against Trump than Donald Trump dreams of.
“A group of Republican governors have for months held regular conference calls, usually at night and without staff present…[They] vent about the president’s erratic leadership.” https://t.co/C5jcRK5VSM— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) July 19, 2020
"Every journalist in America who might have an opportunity to question Trump should lock themselves in a room with no distractions and watch the Chris Wallace interview 25 times." – @SteveSchmidtSES

This is what the election is about. Trump downplayed, mismanaged and lied about COVID-19.

The CDC sounded the alarm bell early and remains an essential asset in the fight against Covid. The agency is being undermined and sidelined and we're all less safe as a result. https://t.co/np5mgzlT1B

It’s so impressive that there hasn’t been even like a single 48 period during COVID where you thought “ok, maybe the Trump Administration is getting on track here”.
It’s gotten progressively more dysfunctional and obscene every single week.
Consistency!

I can tell America has become more isolated from the world because we used to get a lot more coverage on what European leaders were doing and you don’t really see that now. You can tell the US isn’t really part of the western alliance anymore under Trump admin.
