Madrusky I agree that are country, in this convoluted world, is pretty great. BUT bad news captures the headlines sand listener/watcher interest.
A headline 954 PLANES FLEW SAFELY ACROSS THE ATLANTIC YESTERDAY would be a yawner. My basic complaint is bias in ‘reporting.’ President Biden got pummeled with the ‘age factor,’ while Trump, a few years younger and clearly without all his marbles, tended to be overlooked. Now with a younger Democratic team, Trump is more of a daily target because of what’s he says.
To be completely fair here, no one ever questioned Biden on his "facts". What was questioned is his ability to speak understandably. Trump has always been completely understandable, even when what he says is nonsensical. There is a big difference between understandability and speaking nonsense. The concern with Biden was his ability to speak in a way that let you know he was able to communicate what he was thinking to us clearly. Trump has always been able to do that, but of course sadly what he communicates is nonsensical. And the journalistic media has ALWAYS been critical of that (I can point to dozens of articles all across the media where Trump is fact checked and called repeatedly a liar). But having Biden unable to communicate clearly at all was a much more serious issue, especially as it was clearly sinking the Democratic party (and thus the country). Frankly, I think it took bravery for journalists to FOCUS on that and not worry about Trump for a short time, until the rest of the country took notice and started to demand that he step aside.
Should we want the same for Trump? In my opinion, ABSOLUTELY NOT! Trump is the BEST person Harris can be running against because the contrasts are clear and easy to see. If Trump WAS to step aside, and be replaced by, who, Vance? Haley? Whoever, it would make Harris' job that much harder and frankly, my personal view is I want Harris to WIN. Only after that happens will I call for Trump to walk away.

Absolutely Jon. We need to keep him in place. We need to send that whole crew down the tubes.
