I heard it posited yesterday, on Fox News, that if the upcoming presidential election is a made to be about personality, Donald Trump will lose.
But if it is made to be about policies, Donald Trump will win.
I think that pretty well sizes up my own thoughts.
Comments?
Policies?
If you mean undermining if not destroying our alliances with Europe, Canada, Australia, and other former allies while cozying up to Putins, Soudis and Turks, then sure.
If you mean policies that add to national debt when economy continued to do well, in order to put most money in Trump's and his donors pockets instead of paying down our debt, then sure.
If you mean policies that undermine our system of government itself and our democracy, then sure.
If you mean the policy of undermining experts to respond to the pandemic effectively and spreading misinformation thus resulting in one of the worst pandemic response on the planet, then sure.
If you mean fake outrage over caravans of rapists and murders from Mexico bringing in coronavirus and thus protecting us with a concrete wall err... a wall... err... a fence... err... fence in few areas that Mexicans will pay for... err... we will pay for, then sure.
If you mean tear-gassing protests in order to post with upside-down bible for a photo-op, then sure.
If you mean Trump attempts to invade other countries that top military officials had to jump into and intervene with and hide his options from him in order to avoid those stupid wars, then sure.
But ...
If you mean policies that put environment and consumers over corporations, then no.
If you mean policies that improve our healthcare system, then no.
If you mean policies that make education better, then no.
