Several folks have written to suggest I repost at least one of the times on this blog when I said what I said in this post…
I will repeat my frequent advice to friends, which is to remember how long it'll be until we vote and to remember how volatile everything is about our current political scene. Everything can change tomorrow. Everything will change within the month, let alone the 321 days until we go to the polls and vote for whoever's names are on the ballots. The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised to find no mention on them of either Trump's or Biden's.
That was said here on December 17, 2019 and it was about the previous Presidential Election but I also said it about this one such as in this post on February 13 of this year…
…I just think Biden would be a too-old president doing his best for America whereas Donald Trump would be a too-old, too-psychotic president doing his best for Donald Trump and no one else. Between the two men, it's an easy choice but wouldn't almost all of us rather have two other real options?
It's not impossible, I tell myself, that one or both of those men won't be on our November ballots…but don't ask me who'd tag in for either or how the substitution(s) could come about.
Well, now we're finding out and it really is a new election. The one that ended yesterday was manipulated, especially the last few months, to be all about if Joe Biden is too old and not up to the mental part of the job. And now the election's going to be about if Donald Trump is too old and not up to the mental part of the job. There could be one or more new elections before November 5.
