Editor,
The presidential mouth continues to be the best marketing tool for the Democrats. He has been handed two defining events on a silver platter that any astute politician could have rode to a victory in their next election.

I can't speak for the Democrats but the Republicans have the defending champion in office right now. I will let the Democrats speak for themselves, but as 90% of Republicans support president Trump, we will pick our own candidate Mr. Howard. Trump is our A game and we love him for all the abuse he is taking and he keeps on fighting. Trump 2020, let's shock the world for a 2nd time.
Yes, Chris, -MAGA: Make America Grope Again!
Jorg, I don't think Trumpers know that maga means easily fool idiot when translated in Nigerian.
take you awhile to think that one up Jorg? I see you are showing off your world class education again.
Far from it, Chris! Although what you refer to as my “world class education” is something you couldn’t even dream about, - that’s far from necessary to find Trump’s groping of women (MAGA = Make America Grope Again) so disgusting I have to wonder about the morality of someone voting for such a sleazy character, - who even publicly brags about his unmanly behavior. Real men don’t do that, nor do men with a fiber of moral conscience pay someone to take their SAT in order to sneak into a college they are not intellectually fit for.
Please.......
What are those " two defining events?"
Who are these "best people, etc.."..... " We deserve each party’s best people, best minds and best ideas "
Describe this "A" game....... "We deserve each party’s A game"
One obvious defining moment is Trump's totally botched job of dealing with the Covid-19 virus. As for the best people, Trump said he would find the smartest , most qualified minds to head the departments and more than half have quit because they tried to do a good job and weren't allowed to or were fired because they wouldn't lie for Trump. The simple explanation for the A game is America first, not russiA first like it is with comrade Donald.
