We live in an Idiocracy.  Is there any reason the candidates must be on a stage together? 

Of course there is no bigger idiot than the VPOTUS.  The POTUS is in the hospital in serious condition. As the next in-line the VPOTUS should be in Washington ready to take over if need be, not flying around the country doing campaign events. Not to mention, he should be quarantining anyway due to his contacts at the super spread event at Rose Garden.

And, even if he hasn't taken over for POTUS, he should have addressed the nation to assure everyone the government will function no matter what happens, and lay out the chains succession in a calm and measured way. Just another log thrown on the conflagration of incompetence by the current White House management.

I typically agree with you but boy do I disagree with you here. VPOTUS is not an idiot. He knows that if he showed any willingness to prepare for Trump's death that Trump would fire him. He has to loyally bide his time to appease his dear leader in order to stay in his good graces. He knows that if Trump dies that that will be his moment. But not a moment sooner. It's not about the country, it is about the Trump brand, and then it is about him.
