Tonight, Trump's campaign entered the Dead Zone. Admitting to blocking testing should

do it. Holy hell will break out over this. How can he or any supporter defend that?

Is it possible to hold new impeachment hearings over this? They don't even have to call witnesses do they? One article of impeachment with the video of him saying that. Send it to the Senate and vote. Force the republicans to vote to keep him in office.

Important, but MORE important, imo, is to work on election improprieties many states are now and will engage in.

It was not a joke. Testing is slow all over.

The whole country is behind in testing. This is supposedly the greatest country yet our testing sucks.

This is one Trump. HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE.

Relentless. Pursuit. Of. Truth.

Trump's hypothetical "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters" has become a stark reality. This casual little throwaway line amounts to a confession of mass murder. He must be prosecuted for this crime.

No doubt about it. She'll blame the protesters for something. That is indeed the way that side thinks. It is the reason I am beyond flabbergasted here when I read posts about Trump resigning, or Republicans forcing him out. That is so clueless it is like predicting that NFL owners will agree to give every dollar to the players union beginning now and forever.

Trump's line tonight will make it into Biden commercials. That was my immediate thought. Otherwise I can't watch one second of Donald Trump. I don't know how anyone here can tolerate it.

Let's see, position the cut testing line in one commercial along with Democratic hoax, miraculously go from 15 to 0 cases, and take no responsibility. Place tonight's line at the end of that string. And that is plenty. Four areas of focus is more than enough. The one fault I've seen with several Democratic spots this cycle is they load up on too many Trump atrocities to the point it becomes a blur and some effectiveness is lost.
