Biden maybe leading in the polls, but don't laugh at what they are saying. These two are on target. I expect the GOP to make a huge effort to win the White House and keep the Senate this year.
Lee Atwater is dead and has been for over 30 years. However, his influence is very much alive. Being weak and soft against the republicans will not work.

Amid the Pandemic, Some Universities Plan to Continue Tuition HikesMay 28, 2020 by Sara Weissman The price of college has been rising for decades, with the average in-state public four-year university’s tuition and fees nearly tripling in the last 30 years, according to a report from the College Board. Now universities face difficult decisions about whether to continue the trend or freeze tuition amid the COVID-19 pandemic. A growing number of colleges and universities – like William & Mary College, Pomona College and Central Michigan University – are suspending price increases for the upcoming school year, but some institutions are planning tuition hikes despite pushback from students. The University of Southern California (USC) is moving forward with a 3.5% tuition increase, approved before the coronavirus crisis. “The reality is that the costs of running a university continue to rise each year, and tuition only covers a portion of the cost of a student education,” read a statement from the university earlier this month to Annenberg Media, a student publication at USC. “We anticipate an even greater need for financial assistance in the coming year, and we remain firm in our commitment to meet the financial needs of our students and their families.” .....

A Looming Financial Meltdown For America's SchoolsMay 26, 2020 5:00 AM ET Heard on Morning Edition CORY TURNER Austin Beutner looked haggard, his face a curtain of worry lines. The superintendent of the second-largest school district in the nation sat at a desk last week delivering a video address to Los Angeles families. But he began with a stark message clearly meant for another audience: Lawmakers in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. "Cuts to funding at schools will forever impact the lives of children," Beutner said less than a week after California's governor called for emergency cuts in education spending. The harm children face from these cuts, Beutner warned, "is just as real a threat to them as is the coronavirus." .....

WHO Halts Hydroxychloroquine Trial Over Safety ConcernsMay 25, 2020 4:34 PM ET JASON BEAUBIEN A pharmacy tech pours out pills of hydroxychloroquine May 20 at Rock Canyon Pharmacy in Provo, Utah, on May 20, 2020. After a study found COVID-19 patients using the drug were dying at higher rates, the World Health Organization announced it would suspend its clinical trial. The World Health Organization says it is temporarily halting its clinical trials that use hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 patients over published concerns that the drug may do more harm than good.
