To the editor:
Watching the entire presidential debate was rough. I didn’t have high expectations for either candidate, but they were worse than expected.

Anyone is better than delerious joe, who was stuck at the podium after the debate for an extended period of time, until he was rescued by jill, the first lady with a doctorate degree who insists on being called doctor, like an MD ?
This whole progressive, liberal, woke, green agenda has got to go ! The democrats should all just resign and go home, they've done enough damage.
Save New Hampshire !
Save America !!
Vote Conservative Republican in November !!!
Live Free or Die !!!!
JW, what in the world are you talking about? People who have earned Doctorates are addressed as Doctor, it's not some weird thing Jill Biden does. How do you not know that?
Whose lie are you repeating about Biden at the end of the debate? His departure wasn't shown on TV and there is no credible outlet stating anything of the sort happened. Let me guess; NewsMax? Fox? InfoWars?
Please get a grip on reality, stop listening to that nonsense.
A new July 4th travel record is about to be set.
But Trump keeps declaring that "The U.S. is like a third world country."
Another lie by the wannabe King.
It's so entertaining watching Biden supporters coming to the rescue of poor 'Ole Joe. It does seem particularly interesting that at least for the first hour or so after the debate every single MSM Democrat Party watercarrier had an actual moment of clarity [or panic]. Of course, it didn't take long for them to start making excuses [he had a cold? Really?] for what the rest of the world is still aghast over.
Politically speaking, I hope 'Ole Joe stays in the race. Trump is going to clean his clock. However, our adversaries are licking their chops, planning their next moves against us and our allies while we're weak and rudderless.
Every vote for Donald Trump is a vote for treason, corruption, sexual assault, authoritarianism, fascism, and the dissolution of American democracy.
Prove it.
Trump supporters could make the exact same claim about Biden, point by point.
Biden willfully allowed his son to conduct the "family business" and collect millions of dollars from foreign adversaries. How much control did this scheme give them over our current President? Who knows? The laptop was authenticated by the media and government and emails clearly show 10% going to the Big Guy, who was Joe Biden according to Hunter's "business" associates. This is both treason and corruption and has been going on for 10 or more years.
Biden has also been accused of sexual assault. In Trump's case, the statute of limitations had run out but New York State allowed such claims to proceed.
Biden's attempt to stifle free speech and his campaign and administration from the basement reeks of authoritarianism. His reinstatement of administrative rulings has greatly harmed our economy, undoing many of Trump's regulation removals. Our economy is being moved towards a carbon-reduced one based on government whim and Biden using his election as justification. Most people did not vote to require everyone to drive an electric vehicle, cook with wood stoves, and live without air conditioning. The list of crazy rules goes on and on.
Fascism is alive and well around the world because of Biden's lack of leadership. When Trump was president, he was no fascist. In fact, we have plenty of evidence the "deep state" was working against him to give Biden the edge in 2020. Trump has joked that he'd be a dictator only for one day in order to make America energy independent again, yet Biden surrogates take this joke as proof. Besides all of Biden's governing and personal flaws, he also has no sense of humor.
American democracy is alive and well. We just have divided government and the electorate is split right down the middle. These things tend to swing back and forth as we are seeing in Europe now, and it looks like the pendulum is about to swing back to the Republicans this November. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it does.
Trump's violations have already been proven MEPD. The Jan. 6th Committee, the impeachments, the civil court conviction for sexual assault, the business and charity fraud convictions, the daily emolument clause violations that are well documented are corruption, and his attempts to coerce the DOJ, the FBI, the courts, and the press are all signs of authoritarianism, fascism, and the end of democracy. That you don't see those things as proven facts shows just how far you've got your head buried in the sand.
G Allen, you're still living in a dream world where your claims about Biden are facts. They are not. Whether it's about taking money from foreign governments or sexual assault, Biden has been found guilty of nothing, not a shred of evidence has been provided, while Trump has already been found guilty of multiple things along those lines. Your insistence that Trump is good and Biden is evil despite those facts demonstrates how bad your TDS case is. If Biden was guilty of all you say, he'd still be guilty of less (by far) than Trump has already been proven to be guilty of, so how can you say you can't support Biden because of allegations you make, but support Trump when those same things and more are already proven? It's a sickness you've got.
Right-wing movements around the world aren't picking up steam because of Biden, they're increasing because they saw Trump win an election in America despite having no qualifications except pandering to the bigotry of our citizenry. Trump said things out loud that are completely unacceptable, and it has emboldened others to do the same, both here and abroad.
It's sheet insanity to think Biden has anything to do with the rise of extreme right-wing movements abroad.
