Editor,

On Sunday, July 21, our classy 81-year-old president gave up his bid to maintain his position as the most important leader of the free world. When he did so, he chose his country and democracy over his own ego.

Good morning, Lucy

Thanks for turning down the temperature. I'm not so sure Joe made a decision to put the country first... he may not have made any decision... withdrawing from the 2024 race was a decision made by his party.

However, 14 million Democrats did make a decision. They decided to vote for Joe... and no one else... as the person they decided their party should name as its nominee. Delegates were entrusted with the responsibility to attend the DNC's convention and formally declare the results of those decisions made by 14 million voters. What's happening instead is the party will decide who will be named the nominee. That doesn't seem very democratic for a party that has the word "Democratic" in its name. Curiously, President Obama doesn't seem to be endorsing the party's decision.

Knowing how totally wrong Trump always is when he, in his own childish manner, tries to characterize his opponents, it was reassuring to hear him say that Kamala Harris is both «vicious and dumb». Yeah, right on, convicted criminal Trump! You have characterized yourself, and you have every reason to be scared: Former prosecutor President Harris will wipe the basement floor with you! Well deserved, you have earned it!

Ms. Murray, Joe Biden isn’t as close to “classy” as he is to “gassy.” If you’re happy with America Last policies, stick with Dems. But if you want to make history and Make America Great Once Again, you’ll do the right thing and place a vote for our great President Trump – likely the greatest President in your lifetime.
