      1. The decent & proper response to the news is that one should hope for a speedy recovery for Trump, wife, his close personal aide & anyone else who tests positive, followed by Trump being trounced in the election, facing, and face legal punishment for his many crimes.

      2. There's a human story, which ideally should call forth empathy, but also, of necessity, a political story. Trump has spent almost the entirety of this year downplaying the pandemic, continued to hold rallies, mocked those who wore masks. That can't be forgotten.

      3. Trump's bungling of the pandemic has led to tens of thousands Americans dying who would have survived in the USA had a competent president. His positive test is also an occasion to reflect on that bungling and vast human toll he bears responsibility for.

      4. The worst political response would be for Biden to, as some have suggested, suspend his campaign. The opposite is true: now, more than ever, the Democrats need to hammer home that Trump has bungled a pandemic & needs to be replaced.

          Of course. Who said suspend? Russia Today?

          Biden's campaign remains an example of how to conduct business during a pandemic without spreading it. There isn't the slightest reason for him to change. It's Trump's campaign that needs to suspend so they stop killing people.

          Trump mocked Biden for wearing a mask and not holding super spreader indoor events. The only reason for Biden to suspend his campaign is if Trump dies.

          Yes. Democrats are not responsible for shielding Republicans from the political consequences of their policy choices.

          This. Trump effectively CHOSE to contract COVID. No courtesy or sympathy is required. Roll, Biden train, roll.

          If Biden should suspend his campaign, or at least anything involving him doing anything personally, it would be because he had Trump yelling at him from twelve or so feet away on Tuesday.
