Carney on Morning Joe – Credit where Credit is Due
John Carney took Coons' spot on Morning Joe this morning and did a very good job. He stuck to the "stay at home & flatten the curve" message, which is working.
To Carney's credit, in spite of the fact that we don't have adequate testing capacity, Delaware was an early adopter of "this is serious" approach. It is a realistic outlook that has slowed Delaware's rates of infection relative to the US in general.
He also managed to get through the entire segment without trashing Democrats - which was very refreshing.

Republicans for Coons
DelawareLiberal has many Republican readers who support Coons for Senate. We read your comments, and know that you like the fact that Coons shares your values and is eager to undermine Democratic initiatives. You appreciate the fact that he often makes speciaous "both sides" are at fault arguments in the press, thereby providing cover for Republicans. It is natural and fitting that Delaware Republicans support Coons in view of his record.
DelawareLiberal would like to hear your stories. Contact us through the "Got a Tip" link at the top of the page. How much of your support is predicated on the fact that you have no real statewide candidates to support? How much is based on genuine affections for Coons? If you are a Republican that supports Chris Coons for Senate, we want to hear from you directly.

Coons just spent his daily Morning Joe segment touting his experience running New Castle County and little else. Because he can't go two minutes without undermining Democrats, he did…
