Refusing to wear gloves in weather cold enough to send supporters to the hospital with hypothermia is not a bright idea.

. . . coming from "that kid" whose Nebraskan neighbors held up to their own kids as an example of how to dress for Nebraska winters.

Now, refusing to wear a mask in the midst of a COVID pandemic bad enough to kill over 231,000 people is less the bright idea. Cold hands be damned. Joe has Jill to warm his.

They are medical emergencies - you're not merely talking about discomfort in some of the areas they've been holding rallys.

Wearing gloves is smart. Going bare-handed is not.

than others. I run warm - all the time. Even in the dead of winter, it's unusual for me to be wearing anything heavier than a fleece hoodie, gloves almost never. It snowed here a few days ago, but it wasn't colder than the freezing mark so I was able to run errands without a coat. I DID, however, wear a mask.

I was out and about for more than 3 hours, in and out of my car. Somehow I survived.

BTW, how many of Joe's supporters ended up in the hospital with hypothermia that day? I'm guessing none, or we would have heard about it. Claiming that Joe was outside and not wearing gloves "in weather cold enough to send supporters to the hospital with hypothermia" is merely opinion, and not fact.

Not wearing gloves should tell the wearer when it is time to stop.

Especially when there are supporters that don't know how long it will last.

Deliberate on Biden's part or not, it's evident that Trump couldn't care less if the rubes die of hypothermia while he blathers on.

Dr. Strangelove is one of the movies Turner Classic Movies tomorrow. I couldn't help wondering if this was deliberate programming and what they meant to say.

Look how unhealthy he generally looks in the first place.

Joe on the other hand is healthy and obviously has good circulation.

Blood circulation can determine whether you get to cold or not.

Now, do not take this for me standing up for donny because it is just an observation. If he took off his gloves and froze I would feel no compassion.
