Say what you want about President Biden. But I get really aggravated with critics who say he can't defeat Trump. Hello! He is the only person on the planet who has defeated this horrible human being. Joe Biden led this country trhough a generational pandemic and helped heal our nation after four years of Trump. His presidency is one of three transformative administrations in my 80 years, the others being FDR and LBJ.
Yet many people are throwing him under the bus.
I know how it is to be in one's 80s. Each of us who made it this far is different. Yes, pride and ego get involved in whether to step away from responsibilities. But on the other side of the ledger is the fact that our country long has had a fixation with "youth." There is something to be said for experience, and no public fiigure has the experience that Joe Biden does.
Beyond all of this, he arguably has the highest character of any national public figure, and character, especially in wake of the disastrous Supreme Court ruling on immunity, clearly is the main requiirement for the presidency.
I hope President Biden manages to survive the lynch mob forming to force him out. I also hope he is perceptive enough to step aside if he coess to the realization he can no longer do the job as presdient.
Whether he survives as the Democratic nominee or not, Americans of our generation will do unredeemable harm by returning Trump to the White House. How anyone could vote for him is beyond rationaity and decency. This election is about character and democracy. Trump brings neither to the race. Joe Biden brings both.
