Keeping Count - part the first

Let's start a tally of states that The Manchurian President is setting up to toss him out in November.

Florida. This report puts the whole Darwinian approach of Boris, Dominic, and Donald (latter day Huey, Dewey, and Louie) in a very bright light.
Florida, with 1,001 coronavirus cases, has the seventh most in the country. Obviously because of Florida's sizable elderly population and the fact that the virus' mortality rate is considerably higher for people over 70, there are concerns that the Sunshine State could rapidly grow into a hotspot.

Ya think?

Washington. The Manchurian President is very thin skinned, as we all know.
Speaking in Atlanta at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Trump went off on Inslee for saying that he wanted Trump to stick to the science when discussing the outbreak. Trump has repeatedly tried to downplay the gravity of the outbreak and floated his own hunches on matters of science.

If you don't follow the link, that was reported back on 6 March.

Michigan. Another shot to the foot.
Shame on you, @realDonaldTrump," Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel responded on Twitter. "@GovWhitmer is working tirelessly to lead our state through these diff times. You could learn a lot about what a REAL chief exec looks like from her. You just can't stop being a jerk-can you? People are dying. Grow up and try leading by example.

First Flint, now this? The Right Wing never loses the opportunity to kick you when you're down.

Wisconsin. Not just The Manchurian President but the whole evil gang.
The emergency measure — which includes free testing for COVID-19, paid emergency leave and other emergency appropriations — easily passed both houses of Congress
...
Indeed, all five Republicans in the Wisconsin delegation cast a no vote, according to roll calls published by ProPublica. All four state Democrats voted for the bill.

And, yes, that clean sweep of Republican votes was unique around the country.

Ya think they'll remember in November?

Louisiana. Not a liberal Northeast state.
Louisiana has the fastest rate of growth rate of coronavirus cases in the world, the state's Gov. John Bel Edwards said during a news conference on Sunday, citing a University of Louisiana Lafayette study.

Graphs provided to CNN by the governor's office show the rate of growth in the state on a steep upward trajectory similar to that of hard-hit Italy and Spain.

Ya think they'll remember how The Manchurian President blew off the virus when they get in the voting booth? Sure they will.
