Dear Joe,
I mentioned Mike Pence as a Republican replacement instead of Trump, but of course that's not going to happen. I opted for Pence simply because of his opting for low key public appearances - and the limitation of his remarks to closely choreographed statements as opposed to the bombastic style of the commander-in-chief. I know Pence is a Christian conservative who opposes gay marriage, abortion, is pro the tobacco industry, and the list goes on. But I thought that he'd still do less harm than Trump. Joe Biden on the other hand may well be the oldest candidate for the job - but he's experienced and I admire his stand on issues like affordable health care - and that America's role as leader on the global stage. I think the country would be in safer hands under him. His interest in affordable health care is personal. He lost his first wife and infant daughter in a car accident in 1972 and in 2015 his son Beau died of brain cancer. Biden also has been endorsed by Barack Obama - and for me speaks volumes.

Going by the posts on page 1 this is looking like the Foxy & LOUDmouth Hour.
I don't know whether to comment or just watch. Posted by Mr Opinion, Sunday, 9 August 2020 1:59:48 PM

Individual,
Trump did not inherit a "dog's breakfast" from Obama - as you claim. That is absolutely wrong! You should not believe what the guy tweets or says. He's a perpetual liar - and can't be trusted. He has tweeted and stated multiple times that he inherited a mess from Obama. Many people don't seem to realize that Trump's rhetoric does not match reality. When you look up the data and facts, when you look at the employment numbers, unemployment rate, GDP growth, the federal deficit, the stock market and trade, it's obvious that Trump did NOT inherit a mess from Obama. It took a couple of years after Obama took office for job growth to get back on track after the Great Recession. Starting in 2011 and through 2016 there were over 2 million jobs created per year with over 3 million in 2014. Including January 2017 when Trump was inaugurated there had been 76 months (6 years and 4 months) of positive employment growth.

Trump did not inherit a "dog's breakfast"
Foxy, It doesn't really matter what you say. No matter how you want to twist things, a dog's breakfast will alway be a dog's breakfast ! Look at the mess the Goaf created here, we're still adversely affected by some of it ! And, I'm talking about 50 years on, not three or four ! Posted by individual, Sunday, 9 August 2020 2:23:39 PM

Foxy,
Evidence says no ! One more term of Trump would give the Democrats a better kick-off but not now !
Biden is too old now to learn new tricks. Trump's way ahead of him in managing that Dogs breakfast that is the US Trump inherited !
