I've seen lots of video coverage on Pence but virtually none on Kaine. I wonder if the local channel covered this in Las Vegas?

I know stupid question.....they are always shoving a mike in Pence's face asking about crap Agent Orange has said.

The horrors available on Trump need to be avoided to a degree to avoid chaos. American elections are ever more dangerous and nerve racking.

Trump is wide open to being controlled by those he owes debts to.

They should postpone the audit, until after the election. Make tRump's tax return available. Where is Mrs. tRump? Did Vlad call her back to home base?
