1. He'd make a great president

I think in primaries if he ran, he’d win. I’m not sure how he is on issues but with this he’s top notch.

4. He is very comforting and straightforward.

He thinks and talks rationally, unlike tRump who talks in vague (or false) generalities. He is asking people to be creative. He is talking about his own mother and how to keep your mother and family safe. Common sense in a time when that is what we need. Be calm. Use your head. Social distancing is for everyone, not just a few who think they are at risk.

This is a good time for our leaders to demonstrate their ability to lead. tRump has failed over and over. Others like a Cuomo have shown strength and courage. He is not afraid to state hard truths. He is showing the leadership from the top that we need. No sugarcoating. Just tell it to us straight. Not scare tactics. Just truth. Thank you, Gov. Cuomo.

talks substance and solutions. tRump just does a political rally, and compliments himself and bashes the media.

5. I'm delighted that he, Gov. Lamont of CT and Gov. Murphy of NJ are working together so closely

here in the tri-state area. It'll make the region's response AND recovery better than the solo efforts that tRump's failures are designed to force.

During WWII every industry quickly switched to making and providing whatever was needed. Trump has issued no such order.

9. Said He'd Pay Premium For Supplies......

What bothers me is that we have 50 Govs of States and they are all competing for limited supplies.

It seems to me that the Federal Government should be working to find and buy supplies. They can negotiate a single price. And the Fed Government doesn't need to become a 'shipping clerk'.

Supplies can be dropped shipped to the States by the vendor. Essentially all vendors are set up to do that.

All we need from the Fed Government is to find the supplies; require manufacturers to make additional supplies ASAP; and see that the supplies are distributed to the States fairly (i.e., all States get supplies).

I'm concerned that if a price war breaks out because we have 50 Govs competing for limited supplies - some States will either get price gouged or not get supplies at all - cause they will go to the States that perhaps are in a better financial situation than others.
