I'll be straight up - I don't think there's any way a Biden administration is going to be good for all Americans. I think the very best he can achieve is mediocrity and his first planned steps in 2021 already are spelling disaster for me personally. For example, if he insists on pursuing a 15 dollar an hour minimum wage, many of my friends who either work for small businesses or my sister - who lives alone, works online and depends on her job for the benefits even though she doesn't get paid well - will lose their jobs in a cold second. At 58 she won't get another one as she can't drive and depends on online work. My son who is severely learning impaired won't be seeing any more work for a while. (Unless the Biden administration decides to COMPEL people to hire him).
That was an EXAMPLE - there are others.
I think many on the left will simply be satisfied with the fact that Trump is gone - but may have misgivings about the way the Biden administration will try to steer this country. I don't think, with the animosity the entire left has thrown at half the country, a man and his running mate won't have an extremely difficult row to hoe if they think they're going to unite people. Right out of the gate he doesn't get my trust just by being President; he will have to earn it first.
ASIDE from the fact that Biden will be 82 if he runs again - and his current state of health and MIND don't portend well - I don't think we will see Joe in 2024 and it may well be over for him before that.
Trump will be Biden's age NOW.
It's happened before - a previously defeated candidate comes back and in the case of Cleveland - won. Harrison became increasingly unpopular during his term, and even within his own party. Biden himself is a person who has run before, but failed.
But as much as Trump was, in my perspective, transformative and bold - he was also polarizing. There's no question in my mind that many people might have voted for him had he not been so brash in his exaggerations and tweets. I never had a problem with it (my wife - who voted for Trump - absolutely DID) - for once someone in the White House was talking to me the way people I know talk, and not in some flowery diplomatic style where caution is built into saying anything controversial. You know what I MEAN - you've seen politicians carefully and artfully answer questions so as not to say anything they'll be strung up for. What I liked about Trump is he didn't care, because his continued livelihood never depended on pleasing the press.
So - does he run again?
that stupid crap-eating grin off her face.
