Ask Jack Pardee How That Works
I was talking with some friends and new people at lunch and one of them was defending trump. He was arguing that everything was going pretty good until Covid hit
We talked a little bit about it and finally I said, "Ask Jack Pardee How That Works."
Most of the table is as at least 10 years my junior. Though I doubt anyone my age might have gotten the reference right away (unless they were from Buffalo or Houston).
I said, "In 1993, in a playoff game, the Houston Oilers were leading the Bills going into the 3rd quarter 35-3. The Bills won the game in overtime. Nobody says what a great job Pardee did in the first two-and-a-half quarters. As the team on the field melted down and the Bills raced back, the Oilers coaches had no answers. That's what people remember. How they handled the crisis on the field. And they handled it poorly. Trump's handling of Covid is Pardee and the Oilers in the 2nd half in 93. He handled Covid poorly early on. He had no answers and still doesn't. As the economy melted down, again he had no answers. No one cares what happened between 2017 and the beginning of 2020. You are judged by how you lead in a crisis."
I remember that game well. I had twenty on Buffalo. And at halftime I was certain I was out twenty
I also have used this analogy once or twice before
