Kellyanne Conway's ugly deceptions preview the Big Lie to come

The Big Lie that President Trump’s campaign will employ to rescue his reelection chances amid his catastrophic mishandling of the biggest U.S. public health emergency in modern times is edging into view.

Fittingly, it is being telegraphed by the author of the perfect catchphrase of the Trump era — “alternative facts.”

White House spinner Kellyanne Conway has offered a new defense of Trump that telegraphs the coming strategy. It doesn’t rest simply on the idea that Trump’s handling of coronavirus has been a decisive success, but also on the crucial idea that this crisis could not have been anticipated.

This new defense of Trump comes amid a truly seismic event: a massive capitulation to reality, in which Trump acknowledged that coronavirus deaths could be far higher than anyone can bear, leading him to extend strict social-distancing guidelines until at least the end of April.

But this one can't possibly be allowed to work.

There is just too much information to contradict this lie. There were entire government wide exercises run with this scenario BECAUSE it was entirely anticipated. Entire Governmental departments exist for this sole purpose. Alarm bells were ringing everywhere.

Even the entertainment industry saw this coming in books and movies.

This is were the billionaire money comes into play. They should be running ads on this everywhere for the next 8 months.
