DeSantis and Abbott test negative for competence and compassion

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Would you like to know how bad things would be if Donald Trump had been reelected or the Capitol coup on Jan. 6 had been successful? All you need to do to find out is to go to Florida or Texas.

Both Sun Belt states are pandemic battlefields.

Florida and Texas have GOP governors, Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott, and Republican state legislatures that are sending their children - and their constituents' kids - back to school with little protection against the deadly delta variant, which is especially plaguing the two states.

Florida and Texas led the nation in a dubious category with the most COVID-19 deaths in the week leading up to Labor Day. There were far more fatalities in the two states than there were in big states with Democratic governors. There were more than twice as many daily deaths on average in Florida (344) and Texas (226) than there were in California (100) and more than seven times as many as New York (31).

1. I'm going to add J.D. Pritzker of Illinois to that list of big states with Democratic governors

because he has risen to the occasion like a true leader and did whatever he had to do regardless of popularity to keep Illinois safe. Our per-capita infection rates, positivity rates and death rates are among the lowest of the "big states". At the outset, when fear of hospitals getting overtopped was high, in Chicago thousands of beds were prepared at convention centers and hotel rooms set aside for health care workers which only had to be used briefly and never reached capacity. The hospitals have been prepared and stocked with supplies and equipment. He somehow got thousands of tests here early on, and the state health department has distributed vaccines as quickly as anyplace in the country.

I would say there's no question he's done one of the most outstanding jobs of any governor in any state in keeping the residents as safe from COVID as possible and he deserves not only the credit for that, but also to be re-elected because of it.
