8. We barely beat the POS while Covid was still going on. Now, economy and war are issues.

I think Biden is handling both very well. But I can see how some might think the economy sucks and we are mired in two wars, with China a growing concern.

People really do have a short memory. The fact he has more than 10% support is appalling.

What’s worse is that there’s a chance trump might not be the GOPer nominee. A new comer, won’t have that trump baggage.

Still think Biden will prevail, but I’m getting my Xanax refilled.
