    With South Carolina over, 4% of delegates have been awarded. Super Tuesday is a big deal. But there are big contests every week in March. And almost 1,400 more delegates are awarded in April, May and June How about we hold off on big predictions and wait until everyone votes?

    Pence over Fauci as the administration's choice on a public health issue. That in and of itself, is an indictment of their position. Pence not only knows nothing and is blindly loyal, he is an active enemy of science & public health failure. The opposite of what we need.

    UPDATE: Mike Pence will now appear on 3 Sunday shows (NBC, CNN, Fox Business) Fauci is not scheduled to appear at all.

    For three years, Trump has engaged in a sustained assault on the media, government experts, science, and the truth. And he's seized every opportunity to divide the country. In the process, he's eroded the public trust and institutions that could've helped him manage this crisis.

    What makes Trump’s “hoax” statement so wrong is that CDC admits only 459 Americans have even been tested for . In comparison, China has tested more than 300,000 people Without more test kits, no one has any idea the extent of this.

    For weeks I've been listening to nearly every CDC news telephone briefing on coronavirus. Tuesday was a wake-up call about a potential pandemic. Today, the first briefing after Pence took over, was all about giving credit to Trump's border control strategy.

    The President says the is a “hoax” by the Democrats. Imagine if you smelled smoke so you called 911 and the fire chief was like, “Smoke has nothing to do with fire. You’re just trying to make me look bad.” And then he refused to send any firefighters.

    These stories ran on the same day this week. It’s very likely a coincidence, but with this president, no one can really be sure.

    I remember when Republicans used to think it was wrong for government to intimidate and threaten the private sector.
