So what if he stopped travel from China in late January? The NY folks were saying "everything's fine, nothing to see here" right up to the point where the cases started sky rocketing. OK, the FDA (and by association, Trump) blew it on the testing kits. But seriously, in NYC you have 51 city council districts. 48 Dems and 3 Reps. The Mayor is a D. They were completely asleep at the switch and only woke up when the oncoming train smacked them in the face.<br /><br />Up in Albany the state assembly is 104 Dems, 42 Reps, 1 Ind (3 vacancies), while the senate is 40 Dems and 22 Reps (1 vacant), and of course the Governor is a D. But obviously no blame falls on any of them. <br /><br />Only the federal government is at fault. Sigh. <br /><br />Go Candace and Kanye! (Did I just type a message in support of Kanye West!?!? We really are through the looking glass.)Ohioan@Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08650494620853971183noreply@blogger.com
