“I don’t want to see anyone else die of this virus, including Trump. Having got that out of the way, it highlights his hypocrisy that he’s taking an experimental treatment that is not available to the general public. He feels you’re not entitled to the same quality of healthcare as he is.”

— George Van Winkle

“If he’s well enough to work, he can do so from the White House while being isolated. Why does he need to work from the ‘presidential offices at Walter Reed?’”

— Tom S

“This looks like a workable solution to prevent another dangerous irrational person from holding the reigns of power over our nation.”

— Jan T

“Why not be who she is? Why would she have to put on a performance? That’s the sad part, let’s see some true colors.”

— Eric Frock

“I found Senator Harris to be more likeable than Vice President Pence and far more likeable than the current occupant of the White House!”

— Kathleen Budesky
