Edwards wins with 51.3%, roughly the same who want Trump removed from office. Interesting.

Pence's office, when asked for a statement, said only that she's a State employee. A brave distancing of themselves.
Well, I hear he is, in fact, not a 6'5" 190 lb. specimen of muscle and strength who will live to be a thousand years old. Many, many people are talking about this. One big, burly miner type fellow came up to me one evening actually weeping about it. "Sir," he said, "he's just not that thin. He's not thin, sir!"

It would have to be something serious to make him suddenly go to the hospital, knowing that an unscheduled visit would raise concerns. He's not so busy that he can't schedule a visit the next day and remove all worry.
I'm guessing chest pains. Almost anything else can be put off till tomorrow.

What we know is that the ordinary labs explanation is not true. Any labs that would be part of a normal annual physical can be done on site at the White House. There would be no need to have an unscheduled trip to Walter Reed.
We also know that whatever happened, it likely ended up not being a serious event. If he'd had even a mild heart attack I think he would have been kept at Walter Reed for longer than a couple hours.
We also know Trump has a common form of heart disease.
There are a couple of potential theories that fit these facts. Some kind of chest pains or shortness of breath fits the facts. Trump has doctors close at hand at all times. If he was having those symptoms, they likely would want to take him to Walter Reed to ensure he wasn't having a heart attack. Once the tests were run and showed no major issues, he's sent back to the White House.
Another theory would be giving the White House's official explanation more credit than it probably deserves. It's possible that him being a man in his 70's with heart disease and a high stress job, there are more in depth tests that are part of his physical than Trump would like to let on. Perhaps he did take advantage of a free weekend in DC to have some of the more time consuming tests done. I could see Trump not wanting him getting a stress test every year to be something that gets out.
We're definitely not getting the whole story though.

I think ahead of the Louisiana results there were some concerns that moving forward with impeachment would supercharge chosen one's base and hurt Dems at least in certain parts of the country. The Louisiana results provide some reassurance on that score. The election night results in the Philly suburbs and northern Virginia suburbs do point to a very big swing in the opposite direction in those kinds of places.

I think Pompeo punched him in the nose. Trump hasn't been seen in a few days.
Gonna resign and blame it on health rather than get impeached.

Honestly, it's impossible to tell. Trump would deny having the Black Death and a hangnail with equal intensity. He's incapable of admitting to anything that might be perceived in any way as a negative.
It could be something as simple as him needing additional tests in preparation for his physical seeing as he's in his 70's, obese, and has heart disease. Admitting to needing additional monitoring would cut against his narrative of him being incredibly fit an healthy.
Or it could be something as serious as him having some kind of cardiac event.
One thing I'm sure of is we're not getting the whole story. What's really happening could be a complete non-issue but we're not getting told everything.

The biggest mystery in @realdonaldtrump's financial disclosures: he owes more
than ***$50 million*** to an LLC that exists mostly on paper. No employees,
no office, no assets of its own.
That mystery lender, Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC,
just filed its annual report. This is it.

This isn't really news. Anyone with assets of the level Trump has with as many business enterprises as he's engaged in is going to have all kinds of pieces of paper holding all kinds of things. There are tons of reasons people do this. Tax implications, shielding assets from liability, not wanting your name attached to a certain business enterprise, etc. This is incredibly common. I've even drafted the formation documents for such entities before.
