Collected and dignified

was my reaction as I watched both Booker and Harris on some of the morning shows.

And I could not help thinking that Trump was never collected nor dignified. He just said whatever came to his head and used common language. And this, sadly, is what attracted many. And this is why, back in 2015, I concluded that he was going to win. His means of communications, while often full of lies and exaggerations, appealed to the - shall I say least educated? - crowd. As I commented here before, he generated visceral reaction that cannot be defined.

We can only hope that many of his followers have since realized that there is more to governing the country than a snake oil salesman.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
