Although the "real" reporters have bashed President Trump for saying they and the Democrats (though we repeat ourselves) are using the coronavirus as a weapon against him, on Tuesday night, an entire CNN panel dreamed up ways the virus could help Democrats win the White House in the 2020 election.
Host Anderson Cooper broached the topic by saying he hoped the virus wouldn't grow worse in America, but did wonder how Democrat candidates would handle it if it gets worse.
Cooper said, "I mean, obviously there is the difference on health care between Sanders and Biden, but if -- You know, if hospitals are overwhelmed, if, you know, the military is called in, if people are being triaged in school gymnasiums on respirators or whatever, however bad it may get, and let's hope it doesn't --"
Former Democrat presidential candidate Andrew Yang jumped in, "Nothing makes you appreciate a functional government like a global pandemic."
Yang, who recently endorsed Joe Biden, added later that a Biden presidency would not just be "a return to moral normalcy, but it's also going to begin to look like a return to competence because Trump and the Republicans have been running the government in sort of an anti-government frame, which is not what you want when you're dealing with a health crisis."
