I was happy to see Obama articulate it during his speech yesterday, that the daily hysteria is exhausting. I think it's a winning angle on the election, reminding people that we have better things to do than react to the unending drama, as it co-ops Trump's message that without him politics would be boring. Yes, boring, please!

Every single American has been affected negatively by this horrific pandemic, with no end in sight. The rising death toll alone is staggering. Other countries stepped up and took action early on and many are again approaching normalcy - except us - and it's expected to get worse yet again. People are suffering in every way possible and they need to be reminded that Trump knew what was coming and chose to ignore it - and he still is. This is all on Trump and the Democrats need to get the message out there. Joe Biden, Senator Sanders and now Barack Obama need to let the country know that the only solution is to reject this failed administration on every possible level.
