I completely share Michael’s sentiment about where it appears the upcoming presidential election is headed. Neither Donald Trump nor Joe Biden should be president — of anything, let alone of the United States of America.

Neither Democrats’ nor Republicans’ actions make sense compared with what they claim to believe, and the results could be disastrous for the country. In addition to the ongoing challenges the country faces, which are significant, it’s impossible to know what new challenges might appear between now and January 2029, when the term of whoever wins in 2024 will conclude. I don’t want Donald Trump or Joe Biden to be the one who has to face them, and most Americans agree with me.
