There Is No Alternative

For a long time, I have been writing about Old Joe Biden and about how he is incapable of being president.  Some people don't seem to care about Biden's capabilities; they're fine with Old Joe in the White House just so long as President Trump isn't there any more.  That, however, is both a short sighted and scary view.

Think about it.  In the last month, the USA has ramped up production of masks, ventilators, tests and a whole host of items needed to fight the corona virus.  Trump got that done through private-public partnerships, pressure on companies, organizational efforts, refusal to let delays take hold, and the like.  Trump has also kept the people informed as to what is happening.  The anti-Trump media doesn't like Trump's style, but it's hard to take issue with the truth that Trump is accomplishing things that are critical parts of this fight against the virus.

Now consider what a president Joe Biden would have done.  It's hard to imagine that he would have the energy to devote himself for more than an hour or two a day to dealing with this crisis.  He is also stuck in an ideological hole in which only government action would be considered.  All these private companies would not be using their own genius to bring up production; Washington bureaucrats who know nothing would be issuing orders that would result in slow and inefficient attempts to do what Trump got done quickly.  More important, there is a serious question whether or not Joe Biden could even think his way through this mess.

America cannot have a president who would be incapable of dealing with our present problems.  The Dems have to find a way to dump Biden.  I support Trump, but for the sake of the country, the Dems have to nominate someone who could at least be able to handle this crisis.
