I hope Melania makes an appearance at the debate. Go ahead and pig-pile on me, but I think she’s been too absent during this campaign. On some level, it’s embarrassing. Using Barron as an excuse is fine, but her parents are there and they could help out. It seems that they did an excellent job raising her, so couldn’t she trust the child with them a couple nights a week?
If she’s shy, she doesn’t have to say anything. Just be there. The post-debate optics of her on the same stage as Hillary and Bill — the comparison — is a campaign “ad” money can’t buy. People instinctively would compare those two women living in the White House for four or eight years.
I love that Mike Pence’s wife is with him for most events.
All Melania has to do is get up on the stage before things start, and give him a hug and a kiss.
Where will Bill be? Will he even be there to be supportive?
