The Democratic governor of Colorado has been pleading for ventilators for days, but Trump says he's sending them at the request of their Republican senator

Wow. So Colorado had ordered 500 ventilators, but the order was canceled after FEMA scooped them all up. Then Trump gives credit to Gardner when he sends them 20 percent of what they actually need

There's nothing more indicative of our time than a Republican senator going on TV to praise the president for giving his state eighty percent less of the critical, life-saving equipment than they actually are trying to obtain

and both of our senators are Democrats - except for the fact that our governor had the good sense to put in place sensible social distancing and stay at home orders, so it looks like at least for now the curve is flattening and maybe we can get by. I hope!

to put his thumb on the scale in the upcoming Colorado senatorial election. I have a feeling this will backfire. At least, I certainly hope it does.

News crowd probably will focus is on the "great" Trump/Gardner relationship and ignore the small amount of supplies sent.
