      The trick to facing a painful is to pretend that it never happened. All those people died from a vaccine that wasn’t available yet, or it was conspiracy from the death panels, or whatever moronic thing helps them cope.

          That’s what was so unbelievably dumb. He could have used the precautions that were implemented under Obama, claimed it as his own and would have been reelected as a hero. Instead, out of spite, he destroyed it because he hated Obama and everything he stands for.
