It isn't "pride." Biden is just as concerned as you are about Trump. Biden has spent his whole political career making America the envy of the world. Now he's confronted with this diabolical scheme to throw it all down the drain. I'm sure he wishes he was younger, too.

Truth is, we don't have any other choice. At least noone with the name recognition and list of accomplishments that Democrats brings to the table. It's too late for somebody to jump into the race and expect to survive Trump's onslaught. It's too late for somebody to generate the vast amount of money to run a campaign. It's too late for somebody to nail down the electors in swing states; too late to expect that a relative unknown can earn the bloc votes of blacks, women, students, Hispanics and Independents needed to win an election. And it's too late to expect another candidate to have Biden foreign policy chops with other world leaders.

So I look at it this way. Yes, I know that Joe Biden might not be able to finish out his term. It would be naive to think otherwise. But the worst thing that could happen is that Vice President Kamelia Harris steps into his shoes and brings all of Biden's gravatas with her.

The bottom line is: The Trump alternative is unthinkable.

Another thing to consider is that a Trump administration would abandon NATO allies and force the United States to become allied with Russia, North Korea, Hungry and China.

I'm less concerned about Biden's age than I am about the waning support, in spite of his strong comeback from that one-off debate. The worst than can happen is that Kamelia Harris steps in with the same domestic and foreign policy initiatives.

If such is the case, and knowing how America shuns a woman President, then I hope Kamilia Harris has the moxy to pick a strong Vice President to carry the ball in 2028, because I don't think she can win an election on her own.

I think we can rest assured that if Trump loses this election, the GOP and the Heritage Foundation will be back on the attack in 2028. I think they're in it for the long haul ~ waiting to pounce, harder and more surgical than ever before ~ even without Donald Trump who will be, by that time, strapped in a chair and drooling pablum down his chin.

"If ------- loses we can expect another insurrection"

We can expect something, that's a given. But probably not like last time. President Biden will have the National Guard armored up and sitting at the ready.

But then, there's no cure for stupid insurrectionists so you could be right.

"Long haul? They're on a mission. From Gawd."

That what they call it to get the evangelical vote.

But they're really on a mission for Russia to invade and conquer Eastern Europe which they can't do without Dictator Trump and the U.S. military.

And yet, support for the only person who can prevent America from abandoning its NATO allies and thus get dragged into WWIII is waning.

Trump's plan seems to be working perfectly.
