#1 Did Trump and Biden shake hands? Or did Biden try to sniff Melania? At Biden's age, that could be a show stopper for him.

#2 If the Whitehous's VP Pence catches it and the POTUS and VP are seriously ill, Nancy Pelosi will be acting President?

#3 Does Supremes nominee Amy Barrett now have it since she has been in Oval Office and Senate office meetings? This could be a US Capital crisis?

#8 "Test positive"?

They may test positive and have zero symptoms which will lead to more support for abandoning the failed lockdown policy.

#9 #7 Pence-Haley 2020

Hell No to Haley.

Pence is steady, but I have a feeling he'd do the usual "politely put up with the Dems' shit and hope everybody will see how nice and non-threatening I am" style of campaigning that we saw from the Bushes.

Even worse, he might govern that way, and I've had a bellyfull of "lose with class".

#12 Bush Sr and he was no Reagan.
It would be a mistake to assume Pence would be Trump part 2.

#13 Styles often contrast from Presidency to Presidency.

In and of itself -- not objectionable.

Unfortunately, a "calm, businesslike" demeanor has too often been the gloss on a meek nature when it comes to Republicans, and how they deal with the left.

Remember how "dignified" Romney seemed?

#23 Why the hatred of Haley? Good governor for SC, policy-wise she's good from what I can tell, and she did a good job as US Ambassador to the UN.

I think Haley would make a great candidate and a good Pres.
