The main issue in presidential politics is who a candidate will appoint across their executive branch--corporate owned hacks or dedicated public servants????

As my colleague @MaxMoranHi wrote after analyzing the make up of Trump's #CORONAVIRUS Task Force, "Trump’s Failing Coronavirus Response is Standard Issue Republicanism in 2020." https://talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/coronavirus-pence-trump-response-republicanism-2020

As @EleanorEagan and I wrote for @thedailybeast, House Democrats have (a) ENORMOUS LEVERAGE and (b) Oversight is *necessary to making Trump Admin less catastrophic at its critical job to minimize death.*

South Korea had vastly less advance notice than the USA, has an actually dangerous border to worry about, and isn't quite as rich as the US. That the US wil have an order of magnitude or more death per capita is due to Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the rest of the Trumpists.
