They probably had a falling out over how to best support Trumpy FSogol Aug 2018 #5
No, they helped create him. But, they now loathe him. It's personal. Funtatlaguy Aug 2018 #7
Sure. FSogol Aug 2018 #9
Normally I'd agree. But, the bloody facelift deal was real with them. Funtatlaguy Aug 2018 #10

They're probably just using up vacation time. octoberlib Aug 2018 #22
If so, they must each get about 3months vacation time per year. Funtatlaguy Aug 2018 #24

There could be an issue at home, e.g., family member who is sick and they are taking turns to be with him/her.

They probably feel like the show needs time when they are both not on together. Being a mid-life couple, they probably do well having brief time away from each other without being or feeling clingy.

I can't stand him but can tolerate her without him but I despise the two of them together with their silly schtick.

But, Mika has become a mouse and much more conservative since dating Joe.
I now expect the Conway’s to become Carville/Matalin types once Kelly Anne leaves White House.

The show is always good with one of them, but way better with two. I've missed them sitting at the se bloody desk,too. Willie is non vacay and Mike Barnacle is on Compassionate Leave. I miss them all being together. Summer is almost over so things will get back to normal soon.
