The Post Office

I'm thinking Donald Trump's going to lose badly on this post office thing. The U.S. Postal Service has long been America's favorite federal agency. In polls, it usually comes in around 90% positive and this is a country where I don't think anything except chocolate and puppy dogs can top 70.

Folks may curse the long lines at their local post office or the fact that some letter took way too long to reach its destination. Still, everyone is also grateful that certain pieces of mail arrive as reliably as they do…and for a tiny fraction of what they'd cost with a private, profit-oriented carrier.

All Joe Biden has to do is say, "Republicans are always attacking it, trying to sabotage it so they can justify handing it over to one of their wealthy donors to run…like the guy Trump appointed to run it into the ground." I would think Congressfolks and Senators who are on this year's ballots would have a hard time defending the ruination of an institution that the Founding Fathers enshrined in that Constitution that Trump has never read.

Give or take a point or two, it has a 90% approval rating. That means even most of the folks who'll vote for Donald Trump like it more or less as it is.
