Trump poses, while these governors actually lead

[Zorro]

When the president fails America, we often turn to state governors in a desperate search for leadership.

This is what happened at the start of the Great Depression. When President Herbert Hoover failed to adequately acknowledge and confront the crisis, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was then the governor of New York, took aggressive steps at the state level, setting up an emergency relief program, for example, to help the unemployed.

This is exactly what is happening now. Millions of Americans have already upended their lives. While the coronavirus pandemic claims an increasing number of lives and cripples our economy, President Donald Trump continues to spread disinformation and attack the press, which is working to get accurate, timely information to the public.

For those who were hoping Trump might rise to the occasion, it's likely that turning point may never come. Fortunately for the country, others are stepping in to fill the void.

1. Cuomo might be the only VP pick I could support that is not a female or person of color. n/t

2. There's a whole bunch of other governors, like Janet Mills, who are taking...

leadership positions that Trump and Pence aren't.

3. That last paragraph posted. Are there people still hoping Trump will rise to the occasion?

Why would anyone think that after nearly 3.5 years? The best thing he could do right now, make himself useful and go find some toilet paper and throw at us like he did with paper towels in Puerto Rico. He is. useless.

4. Trump is a "poo-flinging imbecile" who "couldn't lead ants to a picnic."
