    I don’t find that a credible panel. Many neutral observers will have a similar opinion.

    Meanwhile, how did Trump’s promises work out?

    I’m not saying it will be 100% effective but Texas would give it a hell of a try. The National Guard would be the first step used and if I’m correct there’s like 21,000 strong. Add in the 3,000 or so state police and all the local police and that’s a sizable force. Don’t forget about all the whacko wanna be militia and then we are talking serious numbers!!

    As for our earlier comments about governors vs feds it seems like there are many that were complaining about the help now don’t want it when it comes to opening back up. Illinois governor said Trump can’t override his executive order about shutdowns. This is exactly what I was saying about it needs to be led by a state level with assistance from the feds. Don’t get me wrong we both agree that other methods or more help probably could’ve done a lot.

    Huh? They're not going to let Trump decide when their states open back up because he has no rational basis for his decisions. I am sure they absolutely still could use help getting supplies.

    Like I said previously they should be leading the charge in all aspects with support from federal. They know what’s best for their state and need to be the leader.

    Palin was actually on the Board for the hospital in her positiona s Mayor of Wasilla. MIL didn't think very highly of her intelligence or work ethic. As expected, she was a political animal who based all her decisions on how they would impact her political career
