Hmm. I wonder what the same poll would reveal today.

Mark,

I will grant that Biden seems old. Biden is old, and actually that meme was hilarious.

I’ve been trying to think of what to say of what I know, or what I think I know.

Suffices to say, Biden is harmless and Trump is not.

The truth is, I haven’t been paying a lot of attention to Biden. Probably no more than you do our current Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, and toward the end, I disengaged from world politics when it concerned Trump.

I’m gonna make a statement here now and I can’t back it up.

My feeling is Trump is dangerous.

What the world thinks about Biden apart from the meme you sent I have this link for you. It’s just one link. Perhaps it means nothing , on the scale of things. But I live over here. Nobody talks about Biden.

Everybody talked about Trump and not in a good way.

Trump has managed to get under the skin and involved in areas that have massive influence on the entire world. ( I won’t quantify at this time)

His influence is shocking, in my opinion, given how very right wing and isolationist he ,’appears ’ to be... ‘America first’ et cetera.

I say, ‘ appears to be’, because that man will do anything, say anything, act anyway, if it will glean him some sort of influence, power or excuse. It is appalling behaviour. I don’t think you can say that about Biden.

This morning I read’The Emperor’s New Brain’… I assume this is in reference to Biden.

I believe it could easily read as a reference about Trump. If he did not have the support that he has, he would not be in the running as the next president of the United States.

I have to disagree with Biden not being dangerous. I think incompetence is always dangerous. I am concerned that we will be perceived as asleep at the wheel and I'm waiting for someone to test our resolve.

Also, like it or not, "America First" plays well among the people who elected Trump over Hillary, and that crowd does not believe Biden gives a crap about America. Otherwise he wouldn't intervene in Texas trying to manage its border with Mexico. Frankly, his immigration policy has failed miserably, New York's mayor wants to rescind or adjust their sanctuary city status, and this was not the case under Trump. Biden is a clear disaster.

And I don't want Trump to be the nominee for the Republican party. But, if they run Biden, the democrats will lose to Trump. They need a better candidate. One that is not an unmitigated failure.
