For example:
1. trump will run circles around Biden. I understand that those who have an almost fanatic view of Biden cannot see why republicans really want Biden to win the nomination, one has to look at their actions objectively and brush aside their act of being afraid of Biden. They are not afraid of Biden, on the contrary, Biden has so much baggage they already have a campaign ready against him, they are salivating at the prospect that Biden will be the nominee. To pretend that Hunter Biden is holy is also naive, let us not forget that he was let go of the Navy because he tested positive for drugs, he has also worked as a lobbyist which is a profession that most Democrats would like to get rid of, at least Democratic voters.
2. Biden seems to be increasing the number of gaffes on a weekly basis. It used to be he would come up with one once in a while, they are more common now, but it also may be due to being on the campaign trail and having to talk more than usual.
3. He is not a progressive, his support from the huge numbers of young people who want a progressive as POTUS and will not think twice to stay home and not vote for someone like Joe Biden will help trump.
4. To pretend that the majority of the country doesn't want "Universal Healthcare" and that most USA citizens "love their current insurance" is naive. The majority of USA citizens DO WANT "Universal Healthcare", they want "Medicare For All", and Joe Biden is offering more of the same, and enhanced Obamacare without specific details.
5. The country DOES want FREE EDUCATION, and Joe Biden is only offering two-year free community college education but it will not free up students from "Student Loans" if they want to go on to higher education. Some of his proposal are already in place, such as working for the government for years to get your loan paid for, a total of 10 years. How many jobs in government is Joe Biden going to create to accomplish that? Why not raise taxes to pay for FREE EDUCATION which is what the country needs and want.
There is more that can be taken from that article, there is some that needs to be ignored, but the question of why republicans are so eager to put on an act of fear of Joe Biden must be answered, we know republicans are fake and cunning, and they all know Joe Biden very well.
If we want our country to move forward then we must look at all the candidates objectively, which you and many may have and think Biden to be the right one, but we must continue to open our ears and our minds to listen to what other people are saying without prejudice or advanced judgement, there are many truths in that article.
I will support Biden if he becomes the nominee, but at this time I am not convinced he is the right candidate, but I won't sit at home if he wins the nomination.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
