This week, the Clintons sent over 400 pizzas to all the hospitals in their home county of Westchester "as a small token of their appreciation for everything medical professionals are doing for their communities," according to Angel Urea, spokesman for President Clinton.

With a note that read, "Thank you for protecting our communities. From Bill and Hillary Clinton," 80 pizzas were delivered Wednesday evening to St. John's Riverside Hospital alone.

"When someone is thoughtful enough to bring in food, then our doctors don't have to think about it and it allows them to continue doing their job," Denise Mananas, the hospital's senior director of external affairs said.

20 pizzas were also sent on Tuesday evening to Blythedale Children's Hospital, which cares for babies and children with medical complexities.

"The impromptu pizza party for our frontline caregivers was a tremendous surprise and was greatly appreciated by all," said the hospital's spokeswoman Connie Cornell. "The Clintons have always been good neighbors, and their kindness during a tremendously difficult time for health care workers truly boosted everyone's spirit."

Abi Krasniqi, the manager of Mr. Nick's Brick Oven Pizza, said his restaurant delivered 20 pies to Phelps Memorial Hospital. While the move was obviously supportive of the healthcare workers, Krasniqi said it helped his business too.

"Business has been steady but it's not the same as it was before all this happened," Krasniqi said. "It goes to show that (the Clintons) care about their people, they care about their country."

But when famous individuals like the Clintons show their support, Mananas said "they have the power to spread the word about what our hospital is facing."

On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton wrote a message of support to not just the medical professionals, but all the other workers and employees who are continuing to serve in their essential roles.

Former Vice President Joe Biden's national lead over President Donald Trump has nearly evaporated according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll that shows the Democratic frontrunner facing a "massive enthusiasm gap" in the November general election.

Although Biden maintains a solid lead over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for the Democratic nomination, he finds himself in a statistical tie with the president in a head-to-head matchup, only slightly ahead by two points (49-47%) among registered voters. The pollsters noted that Biden's standing has deteriorated since their last survey in February which found him with a more comfortable 7-point (52-45%) over Trump.

Meanwhile, among Democratic primary voters who support Sanders for the nomination, 15% said they'd back Trump over Biden in November.

A major red flag for the Democrats is that the ABC News/Washington Post survey found Trump's supporters far more energized than Biden's backers. While 53% of Trump voters described themselves as "very enthusiastic" about supporting him, only 24% of Biden's backers said the same. Trump also leads Biden on key issues.

Despite the economic standstill resulting from the coronavirus pandemic, 57% of voters approve of Trump's handling of the economy, the highest ever in ABC/Post surveys. Biden also trails Trump, 42-50%, when it comes to who voters trust to manage the nation's economy.

Meanwhile, Trump and Biden are about even (45-43%) in terms of who voters trust to handle the coronavirus outbreak.

Another ominous sign for Democrats is that the poll suggests Biden may be a weaker general election candidate than Hillary Clinton was in 2016.

For instance, on the question of voter enthusiasm, the ABC/Post surveys taken September-October 2016 found that, on average, 46% of Clinton's supporters described themselves as "very enthusiastic" about her candidacy, nearly twice the percentage of Biden's backers who said the same. In races that are decided by the slimmest of margins, voter enthusiasm is considered a key indicator of which candidate's supporters are likeliest to show up to the polls.

As the poll's analysis shows, the lack of enthusiasm surrounding Biden's candidacy is on par with that of other recent losing presidential campaigns. "As few as 17% of former Republican presidential nominee and Arizona Sen. John McCain's supporters were very enthusiastic about his candidacy in 2008, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney saw 23% in 2012," Sofi Sinozich wrotefor ABC.

"Indeed, strong enthusiasm for Biden among his supporters at just 24% is the lowest on record for a Democratic presidential candidate in 20 years of ABC/Post polls," she added.

Methodology: The ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted March 22-25, 2020 among a random national sample of 1,003 adults with a partisan composition of 30-24-37%, Democrats-Republicans-independents. Results have a margin of error of 3.5 points.

Never Trump stalwart, Iraq War advocate, and CNN analyst Max Boot has written an op-ed in in the Washington Postinwhich he claims that the coronavirus outbreak would not have been as bad if Hillary Clinton had won the 2016 presidential election.

We couldnt have avoided the coronavirus, but we could have ameliorated its effects, he argues.

Boot, a military historian, calls coronavirus the most foreseeable disaster in history though he did not tweet about it until February, particularly after it came up in the Democrat debate Feb. 25 in South Carolina. (His only tweet about coronavirus prior to Feb. 26 references a report by an eighth grader.)

In his op-ed, Boot claims that Trump wasnt paying attention to intelligence reports. He fails to mention the travel ban on China that Trump imposed Jan. 31. (Boot has alsomockedTrumps travel ban on Europe, which was recommended and endorsed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the infectious disease expert on the presidents coronavirus team.)

Boot writes:

Because of Trumps negligence, the United States lost two months of response time precious days that should have been used to test the population, produce more N95 masks and ventilators, and build new hospital beds. This past week, the Pentagon finally announced that a Navy hospital ship would be heading to New York but it will take at least two weeks to get ready. Why wasnt the deployment order given sooner? Even now, with the crisis upon us, Trump hesitates to use his full authority to order wartime production of ventilators needed to keep thousands of patients alive.

Utterly lacking in empathy, Trump is incapable of rallying a shell-shocked nation. When asked on Friday, What do you say to Americans who are watching you right now who are scared?, Trump launched into a tirade against the reporter who asked the question. Like the snake-oil salesman that he is, his version of reassurance is to tout miracle cures that have not been verified by medical science.

Boots reference to the question about Americans who are scared neglects to mention that Trump only reacted to the reporter, NBCs Peter Alexander, after the latter accused the president of giving false hope to Americans. The NBC White House correspondent later issued a statement accusing Trump of lacking empathy for Americans.

At no point does Boot explain what Hillary Clinton would have done differently. He simply asserts that she is a sane, sensible adult i.e. unlike Trump.

Max Boot: Coronavirus Outbreak Wouldnt Have Happened if Hillary Clinton Had Won - Breitbart

Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, New York, has terminated one of their vice presidents after discovering a Facebook post in which she demanded supporters of President Donald Trump be required to give up ventilators if they are diagnosed with coronavirus and end up in intensive care and suggested that Trump supporters chew some ibuprofen and get on with your day in regards to treating the dealy virus.

Laura Krolczyk, a former staffer for Hillary Clinton when Clinton was in the Senate, and a former aide to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), was Roswell Parks vice president for external affairs until Saturday when she made the fateful post, bashing Trump over his refusal to pay General Motors far above market price for ventilators (Trump later ordered GM and its supplier, Ventec, to produce the medical necessities under the Defense Production Act).

The exchange according to screen grabs posted by [Republican operative Michael Caputo] began when Krolczyk posted a link to an article by the Hill news site about the Trump administrations reluctance to pay $1 billion to General Motors and Ventec for ventilator production, Buffalo News reported Saturday.

Krolczyk shared the article with a comment: Vote Trump.

[Krolczkys Facebook friend Lisa] LaTrovato responded: But will waste more than that on a wall and space force.

Krolczyk replied: Trump supporters need to pledge to give up their ventilators for someone else and not go to the hospital.

LaTrovato responded: I think they should be the only ones in packed churches on Sunday.

Krolczyk then said: They should barricade themselves in there and ride this out.

LaTrovato replied: Yup.

Another of Krolczyks friends chimed in, blasting the pair for deciding who lives or dies in a pandemic based on political beliefs. Instead of apologizing, though, Krolczyk, who is responsible for operations at one of New Yorks leading health care facilities told her friend that, Thats literally what hes saying. Take your wow and comprehend what your hero is saying. Your hero is saying YOU dont need a ventilator. So dont take one.

She then added, Also dont cash your stimulus check. Its all a hoax. Chew some ibuprofen and be on with your day.

Krolczyk was initially placed on an administrative leave while Roswell park investigated the incident. She was let go at some point on Saturday, according to a statement released by the cancer center, which distanced itself from and disavowed Krolcyzks commentary.

This employee was terminated today after our Human Resources team concluded its investigation. We followed standard procedure, which required that we gather and verify relevant information before taking any disciplinary action, the center said. Dr. Johnson and her team responded with swift and appropriate action. We have always been and continue to be a center serving everyone who needs us. That is core to our mission, our culture and the experience our patients and families can expect every day. This behavior is not tolerated at Roswell Park. If any team members act in a way that does not accord with that commitment, we will take swift and appropriate action, just as we did in this instance.

The other woman involved in the exchange, Lisa LaTrovato, a development director for Hauptman Woodward Medical Research Institute, has also been placed on leave.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton downplayed financial contributions to her political campaigns by Harvey Weinstein.

He contributed to every Democrats campaign, Clinton said when asked about the disgraced movie mogul's contributions at the Berlin International Film Festival, where she was attending a screening of her new Hulu documentary. He contributed to Barack Obama's campaign, and John Kerry's campaign and Al Gore's campaign and everybody's campaign.

I don't know whether that should chill anyone else from contributing to political campaigns, but it certainly should end the kind of behavior that he was just convicted for, Clinton added.

Weinstein, 67, was convicted Monday of first-degree sexual assault and third-degree rape in New York City. He faces a possible sentence of between five and 25 years. Weinstein also faces charges in Los Angeles after he was indicted in January, just after the first trial got underway. In that case, he is accused of raping one woman and sexually assaulting another in back-to-back nights during the week of the Oscar Awards in 2013.

Clinton received roughly $55,000 from Weinstein while running for Senate and the presidency, according to Federal Election Commission data. Weinstein also gave $72,000 to Barack Obamas presidential campaigns.

Clinton, who has had a well-documented friendship with Weinstein over many years, defended the relationship earlier this year by suggesting there was no way she could have known about Weinstein's alleged predatory ways.

How could we have known? He raised money for me, for the Obamas, for Democrats in general, Clinton said in January. And that at the time was something that everybody thought made sense. And of course, if all of us had known what we know now, it would have affected our behavior.

Journalist Ronan Farrow wrote in his book Catch and Kill that Weinstein reached out to Clinton to help kill Farrows investigation into sex crimes alleged against him.

Farrow claimed Clintons publicist wrote to him to say that the investigation into Weinstein was a concern for us.

President Trump made the connection between Democratic politicians and Weinstein when asked about the news of the conviction.

I was never a fan of Harvey Weinstein, Trump told reporters on Tuesday. The people who liked him were the Democrats. Michelle Obama loved him, loved him. Hillary Clinton loved him.
