If Trump and Republicans reject the new Democratic proposal on coronavirus in bad faith, House Dems will simply pass it and dump it in Trump's lap, challenging him to reject it, an aide tells me.
This is a lifeline. Trump should grab it.

The new Dem plan rests on four principles:
* Anyone who needs a test must get it
* Aid must be targeted to most vulnerable
* We need a much stronger safety net
* Our biggest problem is the virus is already here and spreading
Rs reject these, apparently.

Here's the thing.
Trump's speech blaming Europe and China for coronavirus isn't just the usual demagoguery.
It's also *dangerous.* It distracts us from the real problem -- that coronavirus is *here* and spreading.

@jasonfurman Just imagine if we had paid sick leave and a stronger safety net *going in* to this crisis.
Maybe we should learn from this.
