In a district where Pelosi (as one of five Democratic candidates) recieved 68.5% of the votes compared to 9.1% for the lone Republican candidate, I'm wishing Ms. Lorraine the best of luck on that one.

I think Ms. Lorraine's chances of swimming across San Francisco bay with an anchor chained to her are better then winning this election.
For the record, most Republicans running for office in The San Francisco bay area runs as moderate Schewarnegger type conservatives..liberal on social issues,conservative on most fiscal issues, now the kind of Trumpist that Lorraine is running as.

Looks like Mini-Mike Pence is going to be in charge of the War on Corona. Which basically means he'll pray it away. As long as it isn't female, then he can't be in the same room.
Oh, and did you know that there's PROOF it's a plot against Trump? Because Dr. Nancy Messonier of the CDC is Rod Rosentein's sister.

So now that the Dow has dropped several hundred points over the past few days (due largely to fears of the Coronavirus impacting the economy), and after Trump has complained about the media's reporting on the disease, Trump has finally decided to appoint someone to coordinate the U.S. efforts to address the disease.

So who is this expert that will be tasked with the job of keeping America free from infection? Did they find someone who is experienced in epidemiology? Someone with a medical background?

Nope.... Trump gave the job to Mike Pence.

President Donald Trump appointed his Vice President Mike Pence to lead a task force to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
...
Health experts are likely to quibble Trump's assessment of Pence's record as governor overseeing health epidemics. While Pence was governor of Indiana, the state’s Scott County experienced the largest HIV outbreak that Indiana had seen in decades — an outbreak public health experts said was preventable.

Pence... the man who once called global warming a myth, and who believes in intelligent design, is going to be the one overseeing efforts to combat the coronavirus.

Do you feel safer now?

Pence will pray it away. Or send those diagnosed with corona virus to conversion camps where they'll pray it into just an acceptable cold.

Why do I think this move is not going to reassure the markets.
He is doing this just to kiss up to his Fundy Christian base. THis is the most critical problem he has faced as POTUS,and he is playing freaking poitics for us.
 
There is of course also the possibility that Trump, facing re-election, has finally realized that there is a limit to how tyrannical and stupid his policies can appear even to his base, so he has distanced himself from the inevitable debacle by finding someone even stupider than himself - even perhaps stupid enough to believe that Trump will have his back. If the Corona virus hits a certain point, it's more likely that Trump will start calling him "Vice President What'sisname," that guy he barely knew.

The Trump regime always strikes me a little like that of the emperor in Star Wars. Every time some minion fails to get the desired results, the emperor kills him, and there, sure enough, another minion raises his hand and says "pick me pick me."
 
Already rumors that Trump has been told by some CDC and HHS people that fatalaties are almost inevitable, and that basically Mikey is being set up as the fall guy to take the rap.
Not sure I buy that, but I think that Pence could make a good fall guy passed through Donnie's mind.

That is a gross insult to Papaltine...
 
It is telling that the first time Trump's spoken two words to or about Pence in recent memory was giving him the job of stopping a pandemic that was already underway.
