Re: Mike Pence good guy/bad guy
In presser right now, a reporter asked a question about Pence’s status and Trump praised him to the sky. Said, “He’s a calming presence.”
That’s how I see him - his calm, soft-spoken manner is a balance of Trump’s gusto. I think they make a great team. I’m also glad for Pence’s faith, which is being shared with Trump, I’m sure.
I also like Deborah Birx is a calming presence, too. I admire her strength, voice, patience, poise, and kind manner . She looks so tired. Trump seems tireless - what an amazing man he is.

Great points about Dr. Birx. I’ve really admired her ability to communicate effectively using words everyone understands, but then pivot quickly to more technical language when she’s directing her comments to medical staff. She is obviously very smart and has a great command of the range of medical issues, and as you say also keeps her cool. Her personal story about how she felt on Saturday and her response was very credible because it’s how any of us would have responded.
Another reason why this threat is so much more civil and appreciated than the main page, where idiots will attack these talented professionals over a stupid lette or some nonsense. We all should remember we are adults who know nothing is pure and simple in these high profile positions.
