And this administration's past performance is history. It's over. Competence is an issue - is Biden competent enough to go another 4 1/2 years. That is what many voters have on their minds. It is what it is. It would be folly for us to ignore that fact. We all share the frustration. This should be a zero contest, but it isn't. Why? Biden's perceived mental fitness to do the job, even now.

Richard: “perceived”

Biden can definitely do the job since he is a delegator. Biden has surrounded himself with highly competent men and women who are doing outstanding jobs. On the other hand, Trump will surround himself with incompetent sycophants.

Richard, I think a good portion of the electorate wants entertainment, not leadership. Otherwise, we wouldn't be where we are.

And the constant drip-drip-drip from Congressfolk saying it's time to change horses because this one is tired isn't helping. I'm not suggesting change ISN'T a good idea; we need the best possible candidate -- but this is no way to do it. Once again, Will Rogers' quote rings true: "I'm not a member of any organized political party. I'm a Democrat."

True, as was said back in Texas while I was growing up and where we used to raise our own chickens for slaughter and used an ax to do the job, chopping off their heads and throwing them to the ground, watching them run and flop and do somersaults: "running around like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off." No direction, no purpose, nothing rational. We've got a problem.

And felons. Mustn’t forget the deep pool of his “best people” who have been either charged or convicted of major crimes . . .

A Team of Felons. Perhaps this could be Doris Kearns Goodwin's next book. Un f***ing believable. How in the world did we sink to this level of misery and incompetency?
