May we all be spared from ever having to watch a tirefire on the level of the last debate ever again (especially as its looking likely Trump will pull out of them)

Let me just say that I can't believe it's Trump who's threatening to pull out of the last two debates. He does one, is generally considered to have hurt himself, and now HE wants to bail and leave the floor wide open for the Biden campaign to call him a chicken during the campaign's final weeks. Even him threatening to do it is a stupid misplay - if he actually goes through with it, oh lord.

The way he could have played it was by claiming that he won hard the first time, so why bother going back? He's too busy being president.

It would have been bullshit, but his base would have eaten it up.

Instead he's claiming they're....cheating? And before that he faked that Biden was pulling out? What? He's failing on fall fronts even to appeal to his own fans, other than the white supremacists that work for him.

He's claiming the second debate moderator is a Never Trumper and will be completely biased against him (he also claims this was true of Chris Wallace)

I doubt he will, but he *should* continue quarantine even after getting back a negative test, since tests give false negatives pretty often especially for the first few days after being exposed (which is why it's typically recommended that you wait at least ~3 days after potential exposure before being tested, and act as though you do have it in the meantime).

but uh.....

who gives a crap about the white house decorations indeed

i came out of it wanting to hear the broader context of the rest of the call- what exactly is the story they want to run that isn't being run? what exactly are they doing to reunite the kids? etc etc

The Melania clip sounds like a woman who didn't want any of this, which we all knew. If I was dragged into the national spotlight through Washington politics (when all I wanted was to marry a rich old guy and enjoy his wealth), I'd be saying stuff like that all the time.

But if the stories of her racism are true, fuck 'er all the same.

It's really weird how the person who is married to the president automatically has to take on this sort of work. Why should we expect Melania to care about this stuff instead of having an official government role to handle it?

Boris is equally as unhealthy as Trump and he pulled through.

Worst lossible case scenario election wise is Melania dies and Trump lives. He'll be guaranteed the win.

I won't wish him badly, but it is what it is. He downplayed the virus, refused to advocate for the most basic of safety measures and ignored them all. I'm sure he'll be fine, having all the best doctors and everything, and then he'll come out talking about how he beat it and how it was nothing and continue downplaying it. Making things all the worse.

Definitely disadvantageous. On top of matyr syndrome firing up his supporters, it removes the biggest problem people have with the GOP ticket. Biden can't run as "not-Trump" if there's no Trump to oppose.

Also, the potential for increased violence and such is not good for America.

I feel like SephyG predicted this, where Trump himself would get it and when he recovered would use it as ammunition for his base to go "see, it isn't a big deal!"

Then again when he predicted that, he was also predicting 30k deaths max.

Problem is that the base really doesn't care that much about Pence. He might pull some never-Trumpers back to the GOP side but he'll also lose the more fiery supporters.

You have to remember what reality we're living in.

This is the darkest timeline, remember?

Trump being positive for Coronavirus means he gave it to Biden during the debate because they insisted that masks were not worn by the debaters and moderator.. Then Trump recovers but Biden doesn't.

They don't need to care about Pence. Avenging Trump's death would be sufficient motivation.

I don't think so. This is the most baked-in election we've had in a long time, with very few undecided voters. The fact that Biden polls so closely to 50% compared to Clinton in 2016 shows that Trump only has a chance if he heavily wins undecided again AND peels off voters from Biden. But the undecided voters is so much smaller and Pence doesn't offer much outside of maybe peeling away the smaller "Never Trump" Republicans. And even then that's if they want to reward the man who aligned with Trump for the presidency rather than preparing the GOP for the new post-Trump era.

And keep in mind a massive amount of ballots have already been cast.
