Do you think there are REPUBLICANS who want people to die? Or who ever have?

Trump is literally on video saying he didn't want cruise ship patients transferred to land to be treated because he "like[d] the numbers where they are. I don't want them to go up." I'm not sure he wanted people to die, but he clearly cares/d more about how he is perceived than doing everything possible to save lives. In legal parlance, it was gross negligence of the highest order.

The better question is where was Congress in all this? The real Constitutional crisis we face is the total paralysis of Congress, now in its third decade.

I'd encourage you to read this piece from 2016, "The Victory of No." TL;DR, Mitch McConnell and Congressional turned Congress into an obstruction machine. 

Here's a piece that shows how there are over 400 bills the House has passed since January 2019 that Senate Republicans refuse to even give a hearing. 

And then there's that whole Merrick Garland thing. 

Congressional paralysis has been the keystone in the GOP's political plan since Obama was elected.
