"SNIP......

Watch for Joe Biden and his surrogates to stand up a disciplined criticism of President Trump's coronavirus response around "the four Cs," per a campaign memo obtained by Axios: "Coverup." "Chaos." "Corporate favoritism." And "caving" to lobbyists.

......

It charges that Trump bought China's "spin" and "went AWOL" early in the crisis even as "other countries, like our ally South Korea, mobilized and ramped up testing.".

It urges a public emphasis on two areas of impact: the death toll ("Over 40,000 Americans have already lost their lives to COVID-19" ) and unemployment rates ("We are losing millions of jobs at an unprecedented speed in our history." )

It argues that Trump was slow to enact the Defense Production Act because he was "caving to lobbying from big corporations worried that it would hurt their profits."

1. Still one C word to go

[calguy]

3. Trump's a C......

Can't write that word out of consideration for others.

[gratuitous]

2. Keeping it simple

Mnemonics are useful campaign tools. People will remember four Cs more readily than long recitations about everything the Trump administration did wrong as Americans were dying.

[enough]

4. Sounds like somebody's aiming to put people to sleep.

Come on. 4 C-words? This isn’t middle school. It’s a crisis, it’s a disaster. Let’s start acting and talking as if we know it.

5. 10 to 20 % of the population are dyslexic and see the world in pictures.

We want their vote and the dyslexic GOP candidates, all of them, ( Reagan, Bush, Bush and Trump) have been winning elections by painting pictures for 40 years. Time we started doing the same.

7. They've been winning by "CHEATING!!!"

which I will submit as the 5th "C" word

8. Oh that is a good "c" word. Right you are. nt

6. "Coverup." "Chaos." "Corporate favoritism." "Caving" to lobbyists.

Great. Looking forward to it.
