I think it would have made a spectacular "Kodak Moment".

...where contact with republicans will be considered an unnecessary risk.

I can't see how debating Pence from 12ft. is safe.

really nice to see when our significant other has our back. I wouldn't mind seeing it many times...kind of like Donald trying to grab Melania's hand. Side by side, would make a great comparison.

But just repositioning him like that is exactly what a teacher would do to one of her students. Or a parent to one of the kids. And note that he wasn’t a bit surprised. He just kept talking.

and identify him as such.
Dr. Jill was shooting for safety, but the clueless out there will not understand the gestures.

He's accustomed to being close to the masses....people he cares about...who is pretty much everyone.

all the time about distancing. When we dog walk and someone stops so dogs can sniff each other I always pull back and sometimes my husband who like everyone is aching for sociableness gets to close and I will pull him back.

Its not that he doesn't believe or know the right thing, its in the moment they are so happy to be with people they forget.

It is normal. What is going on now is not normal and we have to stop and think "how far is 6 feet?"

Just sayin'.
Not really sure how or, really even why.
Joe's a very lucky man.
I know I am.

and in reference to the above post, I'm pretty sure she turned away after "correcting" him so quicly as she was muttering under her breath something along the lines of "Good God how do I put up with this...". Maybe, "It's for the good of the country, It's for the good of the country, it's for...".
Got to love a good woman.
Monday's are for tequila as she works late. Mine that is...
Good luck Joe!
GOTV!
