I knew it would only be a matter of time before some republicans started pulling away from Trump. I can't blame them. I think the recent 'Walter Reed' scenario was the last straw.  Pence got some empathy for his debate performance from an unlikely source, Kamala's uncle. You know you must've performed poorly when someone from your opponent's team has sympathy for you.  More details below...

It looks like the VP debate is going on as scheduled. I hope these new safety measures will prevent Kamala Harris and Mile Pence from contracting COVID.  I'm more concerned about Kamala, because Pence has been exposed to Trump and he may be carrying the virus even though he tested negative. Well, we will see what happens Wednesday. Trump took off his mask as soon as he returned to the White House -- just like a kid would do. I feel sorry for the people that work for him, because he seems to have no regard for their safety and well being.
