Politics are wearing me out. Everyone wants to say the issues are all black&white with no nuances. Everything is more complicated than THAT! Any issue has a dozen sides, not just two... I watch a lot of political discussion on TV. Politicians won't even answer a "yes or no" question, just repeat some answer they have memorized that doesn't pin them down to anything.
It's like...
Moderator: What is your favorite color, Senator?
Senator: Plaid.
M: What is your favorite ice cream?
S: Chocolate/Strawberry/Vanilla.
M: Is there "climate change"?
S: It was cold this Winter.
M: What do you think about minorities?
S: Everyone is a minority somewhere.
You get the point. Getting an actual answer on anything is like pounding your head on a rock. So I understand why more and more voters are drawn to politicians who DO say definite things even when those things they say are stupid. And that goes on both sides.
But Trump has developed that to the maximum. On that basis alone, he should be removed from office. I mean, We The People don't deserve to have the ultimate in deception and ludicrousness inflicted upon us. Let's just say we BLEW the 2016 Presidential Election and do what is lawful to replace him with anyone at least competent as a President. And forget he ever happened. OK?
How bad is he? Vice President Mike Pence brought greetings to our European Allies, and the silence was deafening. Not a single representative from Europe even applauded politely. Pence tried a second time to get some applause in his mention of Trump. The results? Crickets...
Biden spoke and got applause...
OK, that's enough...

He is a bit of a worry, isn't he? I saw a snippet from a video made during a public meeting of some kind down south when he was announcing funding for The Wall. The atmosphere inside the venue was sensational - rock music, cheering, adulation. To see that was very disturbing.
Less than two years Mark; less than two years.
Interesting to see the people who are lining up to campaign for the Democrats nomination.
