This is a very good idea, and it would resolve issues that concern both

people who want the live debates in person and those who want them virtual or remote.

Clearly the health risks to Biden are minimized or completely removed.

The crucial thing is to have an impartial debate monitor with both candidates, to make sure that Trump isn't cheating, using an earpiece, etc.., and that he is moved into an environment where he's not overly comfortable. And the cameras should be on at all times, and the candidates required to stand during the debates (but with breaks as appropriate, of course.)

Wow, this is a huge loss.

Alan Parker also directed Angel Heart (my personal favorite). Rock solid career, enormous successes both artistically and commercially, and very few duds in the mix. Stupendous body of work, fearless of controversy, and a risk-taker who was attracted to offbeat projects.

#1 Susan Rice

Her knowledge of foreign and domestic politics is both wide and deep.

She meets the criteria Biden set of wanting to pick a candidate who is qualified and experienced enough to be president "on day one"

Having observed her now for some time, she has an ability to speak on a tremendously wide range of issues extemporaneously at a moment's notice, making her someone we can trust to perform well in any debate or interview.

She's drop-dead brilliant and a great speaker. Because of her immense experience, she already knows what she thinks about the issues, which means she doesn't have to "rehearse" or learn talking points. She's sincere in her knowledge already, and prepared to share it eloquently.

Her knowledge of foreign and international relations is what I think we need to patch up our reputation around the world, to crack down on our opponents and to make amends with our alienated allies.

Her strong ethics and moral compass. Her sense of righteous indignation rings true.

#2 Kamala Harris

In polling I've seen she is the overwhelming favorite, which is always good for buttressing enthusiasm in November.

#3 Whoever Joe picks. I don't have a strong #3 in mind.

Whoever he picks, I'll get behind!
