How are you all embedding the tweets so neatly in these threads? Regardless, Nate silver just tweeted and I agree with him:
I don't think it would be crazy—from a purely strategic standpoint, notwithstanding the health risk—for Harris to put her foot down and say leaders need to take COVID seriously and she won't debate in person until Pence is out of the quarantine period. |
WTF from the politico piece!
Didn't Katie Miller have Covid earlier this year?! They are still acting like Covid is NBD and making fun of the Biden camp for wanting to take sensible precautions? I'm actively campaigning for Biden, and I'm going to lose all respect if the Biden camp doesn't start firing back at this nonsense. |
Katie Miller is also married to an idiot who was just on a helicopter with two Covid positives. I bet she didn’t travel with the VP to Salt Lake City either - even though this is the most important speech he’ll be giving all year. |
That’s exactly what Pence is hoping she will do. He’s shaking in his shoes about having to face off with brilliant, fast-thinking Harris. If she pulls out, he can deflect on rescheduling. I really think she needs to go forward but with extreme precautions (plexiglass, no audience, etc.). |
+1. |
Mike. Mike Pence.
Calls his wife Mother. Mother, that's what he calls her. And he's big with the religious stuff. He talks in that "heartland DJ" voice of his, The yokels like it. Complete losers. So we'll see. We'll see what happens. |
Pence is refusing to stand for the 90 minute debate. I wonder why? What's wrong with him that he cannot do this, when Biden, the frail man on death's bed stuck in the basement, has no problem doing this at all. |
Weird. |
Didn’t they already agree to terms like this way back in June? |
Maybe he has some nerve or muscle condition we are not aware of? I am surprised that Trump can stand through a debate and he can’t |
The Pence-Kaine debate was a sit-down, in 2016. |
Puss-boy! Man-up Pence! |
Dick Cheney’s debates with Lieberman and Edwards were also seated, though that may have been due to his heart condition. |
