This is not an emergency virus bill. It is a Democratic election wish list, at a time hundreds are dying, thousands are losing their businesses, and millions are out of work in the United States.

Just beyond — and in the midst of — the public health and financial liquidity crises is the expansive and potentially devastating solvency crisis.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s coronavirus bill is not enough. It is not nearly enough. And if there is any hope of keeping the U.S. economy from free fall, its deficiencies must be addressed this week.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calls the shots in the House and is not letting this crisis go to waste, wielding her power with an unpatriotic and vicious partisanship. And Republicans are rolling over again.

Friday night’s deal includes every Democratic wish except taxpayer-funded abortion and not a single Republican proposal. Those will come later, we’re told. We’re always told that, and it almost never happens.

It won’t be comfortable in a city that has grown used to substituting talking points and campaign ads for governance, but the nature of the coronavirus crisis demands answers, and here’s why.

Despite unending negative-media attack, a level of polarization not seen since the 1960s or maybe 1860s, and a literal impeachment vote, more of America thinks we’re going the right direction.

It’s all a far cry from the Huffington Post wedding headlines of yore, like ‘President Obama Was One Dapper Groomsman At His Aide’s Wedding,’ but this is a new age and the media is standing for civility in American politics.

All of their predictions are based on the conventional wisdom and assumptions of an insulted and excluded D.C. intelligentsia, and all are wrong.

Media allies are desperate for a Democrat who can win with moderates, black voters, and Americans who don’t want a senile president.
