If Walz is smart, when he brings up Vance's alleged transvestism during the debate with him, he'll say to Vance that he doesn't condemn him for it and that he doesn't condem others like him who may still be in the closet. I wonder what Vance would say in reply. If Vance denies he's a transvestite then it will probably have the same effect as the newsprint headlines "Nixon: 'I'm not a crook!' " Vance could say he's not going to dignify Walz's statement with a response but I suspect it will have the same effect.

Yes. That's the trap they've set for him. If I come up with a good way to diffuse this I'll let you know. I'm certain there are more clever political minds working on a solution at the moment.

Do you have an alternative to the two options you mentioned?

If it is him in the photos, I think I'd ask the girlfriend I suggested earlier to admit her role in the matter, take the blame, and handle it all in a good-natured way. Hopefully she's a typical pretty Republican, married, with children.

Well just a few weeks ago I had to decline an invitation to a social function at a craft brewery and restaurant as I unfortunately had other commitments. I was then told that I am expected to attend the next one, no excuses, and that everyone is to come in drag. Considering that almost everyone else is female, I was a bit taken aback.A few years ago there was a function where everyone was instructed to "come as your favorite sports star." I went as Mike Tyson. Almost all of the women went as Tiger Woods, except one who went as his wife, beating him with a golf club. I'd just say it was for a costume party and everyone was expected to come in drag. I actually didn't think there was anything wrong with Trudeau or Ralph Northam dressing in blackface or KKK robes or Prince Harry dressing in a Nazi SS costume for a costume party. It doesn't mean they're racist or approve of tbe KKK or Nazis. The problem is that Walz is going to potentially paint Vance as a transvestite in front of a very large audience of voters.

As usual, the simplest response is best.

Trying to picture you as Mike Tyson, strangely enough, since you're a mystery to me.

How do you plan to RSVP to the next event?
