Andrea Mitchell: The Most Frightening Thing About This Pandemic Is Trump's "Skyrocketing" Approval Ratings

Yes, we understood that this was the only thing that mattered to you.

During her 12:00 p.m. ET hour show on Wednesday, MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell revealed her greatest fear amid the coronavirus pandemic -- Donald Trump's approval ratings going up. She fretted over likely Democratic nominee Joe Biden "having difficulty" getting his message out during the crisis and support for the President "skyrocketing."

Turning to former Obama administration official Jim Messina, Mitchell anxiously noted: "There is politics involved. We’ve heard very little from, for instance, the more likely, most likely nominee of the Democratic Party, Joe Biden. He's having difficulty getting -- projecting through this crisis as the campaign goes totally on hold."

As if that wasn’t bad enough, the MSNBC host referenced positive poll numbers for Trump:

"We're also seeing some polls indicating the President’s approval ratings among Democrats and independents skyrocketing to their highest levels yet. Some 60% approval ratings for the way he’s handling this crisis as he continues to hold these briefings. The briefings are working for the President."

In frustration, she added: "No matter what he says, people seem to be seeing him as a leader, at least more people do."

In the Real Clear Politics aggregate, Trump's approval rating is now the highest of his presidency, pushing past his numbers of the first few days in office, before the media really went to work.

Charles "Tres Mujeres" Sykes says, "No mas! No mas!"

tresmujereschuck

Funny, I didn't hear old Three-Wives saying that we should interview all the people who lost their health insurance due to Obama more than Obama himself.

They actually liked Obama a lot. They really liked Clinton.

They have always been Neoliberals. Not even Neocons. Neoliberals. They have always supported liberal policies -- they just wanted big business to get special deals from the government.

And Open Borders, of course.

When the Democrats made a hard play to make corporations a new Democrat client group under Clinton -- when the Democrats began competing and winning in the race to deliver more largesse to megacorporations -- they ceased having any preference for conservatism over neoliberalism at all.

Since then, it's all been Controlled Opposition/Failure Theater bullshit.

Mollie Hemingway has more thoughts on the alleged "press'" latest weapon, simply censoring the president.

What the media instead are realizing is that they have lost control over the filtering that they are used to providing. They seek to spin the news rather than simply show it and report it. And they justify their bias as being part of a higher calling in the journalism profession as opposed to a glaring failure.

The media that was able to push impeachment while the coronavirus spread throughout the world, that claimed concerns about it were racist, and that attempts to control its spread were xenophobic, now wants even more control over the message. Their plan to keep Americans in the dark about what the country’s top political and medical officials say unless it is filtered through a group of people who botched the 2016 campaign, the Russia collusion narrative, and the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing is a demonstration of something very dangerous.

They don't want to report the news. They want to control it. That is damaging and destructive to their own already hurting reputations but, more importantly, to public health itself.

The last I checked, the president speaks for less than 2 hours a day. That leaves 22 hours for Fake News to pursue other "news," which they do.

What cocksucker Sykes is doing here is a pathetic attempt to justify Fake News spending 24 hours a day to broadcast bullshit and lies instead of 22 hours a day.

The economy has taken a major hit, but PDT is the one person talking it up, and trying to make it better. It seems like the ONLY ONE. People remember that.

I cut the cable almost 2 years ago. I would have sooner, but kept DirecTV so my mother could watch Fox. Until she watched the dog channel for 4 days and thought it was Fox.

I'm so cheap, I refuse to pay for anything, and just watch what's free. Maybe occasionally rent something (Amazon Prime). If there's a few channels you really need, you can buy them. But I've been finding there's plenty of classic TV and free movies between all the services.

319 some nurse in Michigan did an Instagram video, allegedly going viral .. I guess it is true, but the part about "we are given a paper bag, and told this is your gear you have to use all week, take it home and bring it back each day" Then she pulls out one N-95 mask ... "we have to use this one mask all week" ... and she complains that others have masks, but the ER people do not. and her patient used the last ventilator available.


OK, maybe they need to go to other hospitals if one place got that busy ... but I'm almost waiting to find out it was a hoax ... she even has her dog come into the shot ... "yeah, you understand, don't you"

It seems right out of "central casting" ... but maybe it is that bad in one place, idk.

Rainier is due for an eruption, lahar or pyroclastic event anytime now. Geologically speaking.
Plus, for carving on a mountain you want granite. Rainier, being basalt is crumbly and rotten.
I suggest Mt Stuart. Visible from I-90 and better rock for carving.

369 "no matter what he says"

What an idiot (though that's not new).

I do notice here though that some of you little snowflakes haven't seen press conferences before, it seems.

They have often, not always, been fairly ugly affairs, in small or big ways. Often "gotcha" or stupid questions, often hostility. It's close to the norm, with of course variations, forever.

Of course -

1) when the country degraded itself by having its first affirmative action president, part of the degradation was that the press suddenly acted like the Central Committee listening to a speech by Comrade Stalin (fear about being the first to stop clapping)

2) the hostility, distortion, unfairness, actual lying (not "spin", Mollie, jeebus, or should I say, "my goodness") for Trump is off the charts (though in the corner of the last chart left behind, is treatment of Dubya - amazing how many people seem to have imagined a completely false history of those years, not just with the press, but many other things)

458 "405 Some minor Hollywood actor has died of COVID. How will we go on from here? A hero is lost.

One good thing that could come from all of this is an awareness how little we need or even want celebrities in our lives.

Judging by how they are acting and yelling for attention, the celebrities fear this might take place.

We need to put on a benefit! We need to do a free concert! We need to sing We Are the World again! Look at me, I got the flu! LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!1!!1!!"

There were moments after 9/11 when people realized and admired the true heroes, the first responders, the workers who found bodies in the debris, the people who made the system work when it should have all fallen apart. The celebrities noticed and put on a telephon about five days into it for no discernible reason other than to be in the public eye.

That was pre-widespread digital. Those types are in for a rude awakening this time because people famous for being famous are absolutely dispensable and the public really has grown weary of them. Their selfies and vids over the last few days have received the appropriate ridicule.

The Imperial Japanese got what they deserved. In fact, they needed a few more nukes and firebombings, just because. The Bombing of Shanghai, The Rape of Nanking, Unit 731, The Bataan Death March, The Rape of Manila, etc etc. They did shit to the Chinese that would make an Auschwitz concentration camp guard puke. And not because of a lack of supervision, but as National Policy.

Retribution and punishment was a perfectly justifiable reason to turn the whole island of Honshu into radioactive glass.

507 297 - You are quite right. Purely from a hospital administrator's POV, this is worse than 9/11. I remember how heartbreaking it was to see all the flyers outside the hospitals. "Have you seen my brother/husband/son.."with a picture & description. Those folks never made it to the hospital.
Tons of people lining up to donate blood...that wasn't needed because no survivors.
There were tons of news stories about medical staffers rushing to their hospitals to help. No need. No survivors.
From a hospital admin perspective this is worse - a viral neutron bomb, in a sense. The buildings are okay. The people aren't. And we don't know when it will end.

508 Hey all morons' completely off topic, but for homework my oldest son had to write a paper on the use of the Nuclear bomb ending the war in the Pacific in 1945.

509 The big problem for the left with this whole situation is:
1. They need to be on the opposite side as Trump.
2. They have to be right when no one knows what the best option is.
3. If they guess wrong, they might be held responsible.

So they have resorted to saying Trump is wrong but giving no details about what he is wrong about or he should be doing.


I think you should be able to win an argument with most of those on the Left these days by simply requiring them to define their terms.

510 And it has wiped out the airlines, cruise lines, hotel and travel industry so far. And how many restaurants will never reopen?

Don't forget that the airlines stopped ALL flying after 9/11.

They were giving away cruise vacations during what is normally peak cruise season (Christmas through New Years) where balcony suites were going for less than low season inboard.

This is something that will be talked about for years.

They have 2 dozen carriages only, and everyone get sprayed an wiped before being put back in the queue....When you are done with a touch screen self pay.... bam there is a blue vest with a spray bottle and wipes.

522 What is propping up this business model, that is run primarily for the benefit of the employees? It is the monopoly power of the cable concessions granted by local governments. Each one is the sole provider of cable television services within its locality, outside of satellite service. It collects monopoly rents from the local subscribers. It puts plenty of that money into the pockets of local politicians to maintain those franchise. And it pays billions upon billions of dollars to providers, like CNN and MSNBC (and FoxNews). The subscribers are given "take it or leave it" buffets for the fees.

It is also the monopoly power of Google, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter. They control the data and they control the ad placements and revenue and they increasingly control the content and the audience. Without that ad revenue the online activities of all these publications and outlets would cease to exist. These networks are natural monopolies just as much as the local cable provider.
