5. GOOD! We all need to see and hear and be reminded of what calm compassionate leadership is.

Leadership you can believe in. And COUNT ON. And TRUST.

Calm. Compassionate. Fact-driven. Quietly courageous. Truthful. Professional and courageous enough to tell us the bad news as well as the phonied-up happy talk. OOOPS! Excuse me, I meant "aspirational." I guess that's the cool new buzzword for what trump says, that lets you off the hook from being compelled to call it lying.

The only thing you need to know about the word "aspirational" when it comes to describing trump? Its first syllable. Which is pronounced "ASS."

That actually makes it an appropriate word to use regarding trump's empty and never-ending blabber-mouthing.

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