The main, significant difference between Biden and Trump, in terms of competence, is that you can rely on Biden to restore the various branches of government, and choose a better cabinet. That alone is enough.

Besides, Biden's not an obvious asshole like Trump is.

I can't imagine a time when a VP pick was more important, given the chances Biden wouldn't last his full term, not to mention the division within the Democratic party.

“We're ... in the middle of a pandemic that has cost us more than 85,000 jobs as of today. Lives of millions of people. Millions of people. Millions of jobs. You know, and we're in a position where, you know we just got new unemployment insurance, this morning, uh, numbers — 36.5 million claims since this crisis began."

Man. I think we’re stuck with choosing between a psychopath and, I don’t even know what to call Biden’s mental state right now. This is not good. All I can say is Biden better avoid a live debate with Trump.

If you guys haven't followed Cuomo's press briefings, you missed this. This was the one time Cuomo ripped into Trump at length. Not reading from a script. His approval rating is at an all time high. He's had national exposure over the past 2 months. He's been showing the nation who he is and what he has the capacity to do every single day all this time. People all over the country and the world have followed him throughout the pandemic and lauded his leadership. He's not without controversy but I think this guy would take down Trump in a New York minute and his party needs to draft him.

Trump says Cuomo should spend less time "complaining." Cuomo responds.

Actually. Now that I think about it. A debate between Trump and Biden would be akin to watching a Seinfeld skit that was written by Larry David on Klonopin. So. You know what? damned go for it, gentlemen.

Here's Trump raging against dishwashers and lightbulbs at a rally:

Good times, good times.

Evidence against Trump's indiscretions is far more substantial than the weak sauce leveled at Biden. This is no contest.
The difference is that Republicans admire sexual predator traits in Trump and Democrats do not like even a hint of that in Biden. Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar are still in the Democratic wings.

I had my usual breakfast meeting with the Queen today, and after watching this video we agreed to authorise a snatch operation to acquire Mr Cuomo, transport him to London, and conscript him as Prime Minister. So if you notice that he isn't on your TV any more, that will be what happened.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but things are getting serious, don'tcha'know.

Wow! You regularly breakfast with the Queen? :wink: Lucky lady! How I envy her! She must be a very good judge of character! It's too bad, though, that she is powerless to remove Boris from office. I don't have a much better impression of him than I do of Trump. He does seem to have somewhat less trouble coherently expressing himself than Trump, though.
