How one Dem governor stays off Trump's enemies list

3. Different political party -

But I just had a conversation with someone on DU yesterday about why DeWine's Ohio strategy of acting in contradiction to what Trump says - but not expressly trashing him - is a strategy that protects Ohioans (and others who are gaining the benefit of things like the Batelle mask-cleaning process that was only approved because DeWine has maintained communications with Trump, despite doing almost the opposite of anything Trump has suggested as to COVID 19)

It's like dealing with a two year old. You know they are on the verge of a tantrum all the time, and you deal with tantrums when they arrive. But when you're in the middle of the grocerly store aisle, or a restaurant, or (or a health crisis that threatens the lives of thousands) you use whatever strategy works to triggering a tantrum (even if those strategies might not be found in the best practices for parenting handbook).
