Mary Trump: Why I'm still with President Biden

It would be absurd to pretend that President Joe Biden had a good debate last night. I was there — he did not.

But let’s be honest about the performance of the other person on the stage who, if the metrics by which we’re measuring success are honesty, policy, a vision for America, and the defense of democracy, had a debate so apocalyptically disastrous that I can’t believe that not one pundit, not one Republican official (at least none I’m aware of) has called on Donald Trump to drop out of the race.

But if we’re only going to count style over substance, I’ll take hoarse and halting over hate-filled and unhinged every day of the week.

-snip-

Are we going to choose to be a country that rewards cruelty, incompetence, and mendacity while punishing empathy, accomplishment, and experience?

we get our base motivated to turn out in crucial battleground states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and, to an important but lesser extent, in Nevada, Arizona, GA, and NC.
