    As predicted, the RW blogosphere and media have found a new enemy of the day: Dr. Tony Fauci.

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...ase-assails-fauci/ar-BB11LjWL?ocid=spartanntp

    How long can Trump resist the RW drumbeat against Fauci until he ousts him? It is clear that Trump himself is rather hesitant to follow the expert's prescriptions of widespread social distancing, one just has to look at his body language standing next to these experts.

    Next, the drumbeat will increase to "open up the country for business" rather sooner than later. He'll find a RW "expert" who'll give the blessing. No fact required.

    The fact-free RW is starting to get dangerous to the country. Many deaths will be their responsibility because they first downplayed the virus threat, leading to the US becoming the country with the largest number of infections, and then peddled false hope with "cures". Next, they'll want to go back to business as usual. This is not just irresponsible, but goes far beyond that...

    I am sure Trump fans will believe that they are winning if Trump gets rid of Fauci as his adviser in this matter.

    You cited NBC. Don't you think that might be a little teensei little bit biased these days??? And frankly, what drumbeat? The one that hammers in your hungover mind each morning? So, perhaps instead of inventing notions that you'd love to stifle, the more important part of what you're saying here is that you think it is time the left implemented government control (as long as it's left leaning) on speech. Right? Unconstitutional much?

    Why do you insist on creating a narrative that is so entirely unsupportable? Do you find yourself chanting "repeat the lie often enough and loud enough".... I bet you practice in a mirror....

    Well, the same things were said when Tillerson was on his way out, McMaster, Kelly, etc. If you can't see that Trump is getting tired of Fauci, you must be blind.

    If Fauci is still his covid adviser in two weeks from now, you can resurrect this thread, and I'll eat humble pie.

    Probably true. They use slaves to lie to them about their looks...

    In other words, you are not going to take me up on the wager because you also know that Fauci's days are numbered.

    TDS seems to have overtaken even you. I never thought I would see the day. Fauci will absolutely be the Covid advisor in 2 weeks, aside from perhaps the chances that he comes down with the virus himself or something else that would render him incapacitated. Even if you want to sit there and conclude that Trump is the worst human being on earth, one thing you can not accuse him of is being electorally stupid. Fauci is nearly universally respected amongst the general public. To get rid of him would be electorally idiotic. It is not going to happen.

    I don't, you don't, but who cares? You're dishonest enough to start a rumor that is baseless so far. Who cares if you have the humility in a couple weeks to admit it?

    Trump should choose a super model doctor next so more people pay attention

    Maybe I have TDS, I don't know. But, as I said, bring up the thread in two weeks and I'll eat humble pie.

    In the meantime, Trump and the RW media have previously managed to turn opinion against others who used to be respected by the general public. McCain comes to mind. So, there is precedent.

    The only person quoted in that piece that I knew said this "The president was right, and frankly Fauci was wrong,” Lou Dobbs said Monday....and that was in regards to getting the economy back moving. Nothing about getting rid of Fauci.

    The left is again trying to spread fear and misinformation.....Dr. Fauci and the President get a long just fine, and the President is listening to him
    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/corona...ction-white-house-task-force-press-briefings/
    "To [Trump's] credit, even though we disagree on some things, he listens," Fauci said of the commander in chief. "He goes his own way. He has his own style. But on substantive issues, he does listen to what I say."

    Moreover, he has gone on to call out left for their divisive rhetoric on the issue of their relationship
    https://thehill.com/homenews/media/489191-fauci-media-should-stop-pitting-me-against-trump
    "The president has listened to what I have said and what the other people on the task force have said. When I have made recommendations he has taken them," Fauci added. "The idea of just pitting one against the other is just not helpful."

    I would happily bet a lot of money that barring incapacitation, Fauci will be in his position in two weeks.

    FWIW....While being the nominee in 2008, the Republican base had never cared much for Mcain (myself included). He always had been the very definition of a RINO, and most of us voted for him while holding our collective noses ( the same thing applied to Romney). Getting many Republicans to dislike him is not a great feat. There isnt really a valid analogy to be drawn between Fauci and Mcain.

    I keep seeing the "official" infection numbers from China... And they just don't add up. There was a set up analytics there were briefly available around the end of dec early Jan that showed hundreds of thousands of infections. But "officially" it's now under 65K. The wonders of state controlled media. This is so alien, and yet it seems exactly what so many of our NDP faithful hope for. And the fawning all over the Chinese government for so "rapidly dealing" with their outbreak... And yet hundreds if not thousands of infected folks from China got on airplanes and landed all over the planet carrying this virus. Should we start to question the morality of the Chinese leadership now that we actually will have forensic evidence of their likely calculated plot to allow the virus to escape their boarders? And in the offing are we going to finally call out the democrats who stood in lock step resistance to ANY efforts to secure the boarders?

    I think you are correct. STIFLED maybe but still standing behind Trump. The important thing is to wholly discredit him amongst the rabid Trump freak set, aka Trumpworld.

    Now that's laughable aka Mr. Maverick was the left's favorite Republican until he ran against Obama. It was amazing how quick the left turned on him and how vicious they got. McCain was never that popular in Republican circles. Because we knew he'd always betray us when it was important

    Deborah Birx is the most important member of his team.. She has the internal medicine skill set and Pharma background that far outweighs Fauci's logistical skill set.

    But I doubt that Fauci will all of a sudden go missing from the team. I think that he knows that his reputation would suffer if he decides to exit before things improve in the Blue states where the virus wasn't quarantined out of the gate.
