No. If he had syphillis, he would have been treated for it. Syphillis is a treatable disease, and it doesn’t look like this. Old people can start bruising easily for many reasons, one of which is taking blood thinners.

That’s not at all what shingles looks like. Usually this type of bruising happens when people are taking blood thinners.

Roll your eyes all you like, but those are two states that have proven difficult for Democratic Senate candidates, and having Democratic candidates with name recognition and high approval ratings may be the only way to unseat the Republican incumbents.
