Who will be the first Republican Governor to follow Trump and open up his state completely? [View all]

Who will volunteer his/her state to be the guinea pig?

Trump has no plan, other than he just wants to open up the economy so his election is not threatened in November.

Several Democratic Governors, on both the East and West coasts, are working on plans to get people back to work. But they want to do it in a thoughtful and safe way.

Trump does not seem to be overly concerned about any specific plan of safety. He is thinking of himself. That's who he is.

Also, Trump does not seem to be worried that there might be a second wave? If that happens, maybe it will happen after the election, and that would be OK with him.

In my opinion, in the end, Trump will adopt a plan that is developed by the Democratic Governors. Because Republicans have no idea how to govern.
