64. Of course it wasn't going to go well.

Here is my take:

What is in the plan is almost irrelevant. Trump and McEnany said they had something ready to go in AUGUST. Okay, they trashed President Obama's plan and had their own (yes, I know it is a lie).

Here is the thing though, let's grant them that they had a plan. YOU HAD A PLAN THAT ALLOWED THE VIRUS TO SPREAD TO 1.4 MILLION AMERICANS AND KILL OVER 85,000!

They own the shitty response. If they had a plan, was it to wait to do anything other than an ineffective travel restriction for over 6 weeks, HAVE NO PPE, NO Ventilators, and NO WORKING TEST? Was it in the playbook to play states against each other then have the Federal government STEAL supplies procured by the states you left hanging?

Like I said, let them tout their stupid "playbook", then the response is all theirs. Either the playbook sucks ass OR they completely failed in their response. Those are the only two options with a playbook. No more blaming others. "You had a playbook, what happened? Why are more than 85,000 people dead in 2 months with YOUR playbook?"
