    Did you forget to say "a small amount of" conservatives....? Because you see, omitting a few key words is the difference between a few and many millions.

    That outcome is so unlikely as to be on a par with the wannabe Fascist-in-Chief "finding Jesus" on bun of his McDonald's burger. ;)

    Parsing words?
    Do you apply the same standard to the words uttered by Dirty Donny Bonespurs?

    Anyway, the original statement was “conservatives”. Not “all” or “most” or even “many”. There was no indication of number or proportion, so not misleading in any way.

    Of course it is. Saying "Conservatives" means all of them.

    Now....here is a zinger idea. Maybe Humpty is contriving this! Pretends to have the nasty while not having it, and then, not having it, he emerges from the White House bulletproof, totally unscathed, 'proving' by his own snake oil act that the nasty is a nothing. Who would put that beyond him?

    Fine and noted. Perhaps a small chunk, I don't know...

    I think you'll find while we're going to understandably lampoon the Don into oblivion, I would hope most on this board and most Democrats will not wish President Trump or his wife come to any serious harm.

    No. We live in California. Many people believe it went through here on the West coast in November & December.

    Right. Especially since it is becoming a weaker virus and we have more/better treatments we can hope that herd immunity will soon make it go away.

    You are dealing with an individual who is desperate, DESPERATE, not to be ousted as President.

    Right now there is no hint that Trump being Corona-positive is a set up to manipulate the election.

    In any case, Trump will no doubt try to use the situation to his advantage any way he can.

    Because, in the end, Trump DOESN'T WANT AN ELECTION. Or, more specific, Trump doesn't want there to be any evidence against him that he lost the election. Because once that evidence is out there Trump is screwed and he knows it.
    He might brag about taking his complaint to the Supreme Court but even Trump knows he has zero chance of winning there.

    So for Trump NO election (or delaying it) is the only way he can hold on to power.

    Trump having tested positive might actually be the ''best thing'' that could have happened to him.

    And the worst thing for rest of us.

    I already have reduced smell and taste from chemo, so hard to tell and do not remember if did

    mostly a fever that came and went on and off and dizziness (like with low blood pressure), headaches and a cough - it felt different than a normal flu, some in my family had high fevers and got sicker than I did

    I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you recover quickly and treatment goes well. Prayers for you and family.

    thanks, but no, were talking last December, I already recovered fine as did they

    and the chemo was 10+ years ago, just lingering nerve damage, but survived that too

    I would hate to have cancer and covid at same time as the treatment really lowers your immune system

    I believe it, the same as I believe that “Between 3 million and 5 million illegal votes caused me to lose the popular vote.”, that Mexico will pay for the wall, coronavirus miraculously will disappear in April, tariffs are payed by China and more...

    GENIUS! True stable genius - this is the best response to his lost debate. I predict President will recover and triumphantly will announce that
    Hydroxychloroquine saved him.

    Indeed. Nobody believes anything trump says and there’s a good chance that this is just another one of his stunts.
    Let him prove that he actually has the trump virus.

    That's the tip of the iceberg. How many and who has spent an hour across the desk from Trump before he tested positive.

    “Many people believe” doesn’t mean anything unless there is evidence.
    Some people believe that Dirty Donny Bonespurs took Ivanka’s virginity. Does that make it true?

    Anyway if it “went through” the West Coast in November and December last year, that means two things:
    - the American medical system is completely incompetent, because this virus wasn’t recognized at the time. But China did.
    - it is more likely that the virus originated in America and was transmitted to China.

    Are you sure you want that to be your position?

    That's great ! I always wonder how many people undergo chemo and do well. It's reassuring that that treatment works.
