Presidential Contest

We could have had this guy instead of the impotent, useless Obama:

We’d be living in a different world now. What a massive mistake. We let ourselves be duped by a speechifying fraud, and now look what happened.

People keep complaining about Trump but he created no disasters compared to Clinton, Bush II and Obama. He didn’t deliver on his promises but he didn’t ship our manufacturing overseas, turn China into a problem, start any wars, invade any countries, or let Russia start a war in Europe. Trump did nothing but tweet. Which isn’t optimal but a massive improvement on the preceding 3 fellas.

Biden is also very reactive but he’s controlling the nutso wing of his party a lot more effectively than Trump controls his. Last summer, the AOC faction wrote a petition to withdraw aid from Ukraine. Biden had them take it back within days, and they stayed on point since then. No riots, no public lunacy. Trump, on the other hand, has zero control over his loons.

I’m not partisan, folks. Political partisanship is a sign of an inferior intellect.

To resume: we’ve had a large improvement in the quality of our leadership since 2016. Both Trump and Biden turned out a lot better than anybody could have expected. Neither did much, but they didn’t spoil anything that wasn’t already broken. Biden now has a slight advantage because of the effectiveness of his control over the mentally unwell fringe of his party.
