You Prefer Mike Pence, or Kamala Harris ?

 I've had the Vid, as I mentioned, and on the bright side, I hopefully have built up antibodies going into the winter and the peak indoors working months... Live to tell.

As soon as the president turns the corner, ask yourself:  What are the odds that Joe Biden will eventually get it too?  Most of will, in one form or another, I suspect... I think the virus IS weakening as we are passing it around. So there's that. And our truly old and vulnerable definitely want to avoid contracting it. (sorry healthy Boomers in your 60s, I'm thinking the elderly elderly here, not just those of you pretending, and drawing on gubmint benefits to enhance your lifestyles and use excuses to stay in and pamper yourselves with mail-order services, and lack of something to contribute to the economy via work anymore... the wherewithal to live lives fully outside your pampered bubbles, with everyone else serving you and upending school and work schedules to "protect" you).

Those 75 and up, and in ill health -- especially those in their late 80s and 90s, they are the ones who are always shut-in's for the winter season, and you don't want to see them exposed, no matter what.  They know to fully isolate, and pay the price with no special accommodations, as they did in the SARS years too and with the regular flu bugs.  (Vaccines might make you feel safe, but shut in's who sacrifice stay strongest and healthiest, of course.  You just have to be willing to honestly pay the price.)

But the rest of us?  Again, I suspect our bodies -- able-bodied adults and children -- will be processing this virus, in some form or another -- perhaps even in a vaccine -- in the coming seasons.  The only question really is when?  When will it come for you, and your body will have to fight it too?

So if a President Joe Biden got it, do you really trust Kamala Harris as president?  Be honest, now.  This is the lady who wasn't even hitting double digits in her primary run and got chosen for PC reasons for the second slot -- when the competition was limited only to ladies, and the black lady got a leg up (she's of Indian descent too!)

Who likes Mike Pence?  Donald Trump was smart enough to complement himself, by selecting a personality very unlike his.  I suspect many Americans would like Pence's calm, slow, Mr. Nice Guy (but no sucker) temperament, and Pence surely has grown and observed President's Trump's ways and learned a thing or two that would make him less Jimmy-Carter-like (put some muscle in that muscular Christianity) and more experienced in leading the nation four years from now.

We'll be watching the VP debate closely in Salt Lake City.  Everyone ask yourself:  do YOU think Kamala Harris is really up to the job of being President of the United States, when SloJoe -- who is building no antibodies in his system, and will likely catch something in his first term, unless he plans to hide in the basement as president... -- goes down?

Trump-Pence for the win.

Say, did you hear about the Preakness results yesterday?  Never count any horse out in a horse-race.  Just sayin', for those of you who follow competitive sports, where no contenders are given artificial advantages in true competitions...

Preakness Stakes 2020: Results, payouts, order of finish 

19 hours ago - A filly beat the Kentucky Derby winner in a photo finish to win the 145th Preakness Stakes on Saturday.
 
(and to be clear:  I'm not calling Mike Pence, or Donald Trump, a filly.  I'm calling them the long-shot to bet on. At this time, the underdogs on the ticket. Be well, and stay strong Mr. President and Vice, you'll be back in the race when it most matters, crossing the finish line..  The midwestern and western states will not elect Biden-Harris, not after what the country has been through this summer.)
