WaPo’s Jennifer Rubin: There Will Be ‘Less Democrat’ Coronavirus Deaths

Sunday on MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” Washington Post opinion writer Jennifer Rubin argued there would be fewer Democrat coronavirus deaths because they are adhering to suggestions offered by experts and the media.

In contrast, she argued Republicans are skeptical and more susceptible to death from the coronavirus.
“[T]here is a particular cruelty, irony that it is their core viewers, the Republican older viewers, who are the most at risk,” she said. “And when you think about it, which party immediately canceled all of their rallies? Which party immediately started having their political figures really portray and use their lives as an example? It was the Democrats. So typically, there will be less Democrat deaths because there will be less mass gatherings. There will be less opportunities for people to congregate and share this horrible disease. So it is really a very short-sided strategy. But I think now the name of the game is how do they get back on planet earth. And part of the way that I think that they are doing it is down the memory hole. He jumped right on this right away because of all this planning that we’re doing so well, which is head-spinning for the rest of us who watched him for weeks say this is a hoax. But this is how they do it at Fox News.

“And so they will contort themselves to get in line and get in sync. And, you know, we’re always saying but, but, but, pointing to the past. And they don’t. They simply move with the flow. Every day is a new day. Every day is a new storyline, and they will stick with it. I think the problem will be what happens unfortunately if we start to follow that Italian model where we have mass casualties, and our lives are not disrupted for a week or two, but we’re talking months. And that is going to be some serious stuff. And I don’t know if their brainwashing is so strong as to carry on and make excuses for Trump during that. But this will be some serious stuff.”

Well, here's a good video for @pjcomix to file away for one of his posts....

It will not age well.

Actually...

Most Democrats live in large cities where everyone is packed in close together.

Where people have little need of stored supplies on hand because a stocked store is normally just around the corner.

It is no surprise that Seattle, San Francisco and other large cities were the first to be hit hard with this.

In a pandemic, the cities are where this spreads the quickest. And where people have to venture out to get supplies constantly.

People outside the cities tend to be more self sufficient and typically have more supplies on hand.

A stupid statement from a supposed journalist.

A statement completely unbounded by facts, but instead puffed up by her bigotry towards people of a different political philosophy.  It's like the popcorn of journalism...all air.

Nice summary.

Who says the mainstream media doesn't offer commentary from the republican perspective?

No one who says, "less deaths," rather than "fewer deaths," should be employed by a newspaper as a writer.

She needs a 72-hour commitment.

1) Baby Boomers, now approaching their mid-70's are the largest, single voting bloc of the GOP.

2) Jennifer Rubin has been mentioned as a possible CIA-contractor...one of a dozen or so in the media, used to sway public opinion.  How else can you explain Morning Joe? 

The key here is the breakdown of the death count in Swing States such as Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

So how much is it worth to be able to win in 2020, cancel all of 2016's judicial appointments/picks?

ServPro.  Like it never really happened.
