Finally

 

And so the Dems concluded their convention with their nomination of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, as their President and Vice President hopefuls. There wasn’t much of a competition, since Biden basically nominated her when he stepped aside.  And she is the sitting VP, so her nomination makes eminent good sense.  Kamala has adequate experience, with her four years as VP, plus her other government experience:

·         Vice President for 3+ years

·         US Senator from California

·         California Attorney General

·         District Attorney

So, with that experience base, what will be her competition?

Donald Trump:

·         President of the United States

·         TV Actor

·         Unsuccessful Businessman

·         Unsuccessful Marital Partner

·         Demented Public Speaker

So, one assumes there will be an election leading to a solid supermajority of voting Americans who wish to elect Mrs. Harris. I mean, all one needs to do is listen once to a Trump public appearance, hear him ramble incoherently, and lie incessantly, before concluding that he is obviously unfit to hold any public office, no less the US Presidency.

And yet, and yet . . .

I have been aware of American presidents since FDR. I still remember listening to FDR on the radio during WW II.  And I have participated, VOTED, in every election since 1952.  I voted for Eisenhower over the intellectual, Adlai Stevenson.  Because, how could you not vote for the WW II Hero, Ike?

And we have had our share of losers as President.  I mean, Shrub??? Nixon, Reagan   . . . god think of that, we actually elected Ronald Reagan, a failed movie star to be President. But we have some good ones too—Harry Truman, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama . . . and now Joe Biden. Joe is showing some signs of aging, so it is perhaps the right thing for him to step aside, but he still joins the ranks of our Good Presidents.

So, now, perhaps, it is our opportunity to see what a bright, ethical woman can do. I assume Kamala will win, because . . . how can she not? I mean. She is running against the very worst presidential candidate our Nation has ever seen.  I mean . . . Donald Trump??? Not a serious candidate.  And Yet . . . And Yet . . .

Kamala should be leading by 70% to 30%. But is she? Nope.

So, that fact alone tells you more than you ever wanted to know about America. 

I can only hope the polls are wrong and that the American people will come to their senses and reject this amazingly inadequate pseudohuman being, Donald Trump. He has failed at virtually everything in which he has participated.   He keeps trying, I guess because his ego won’t let him bow out.

This will be an interesting, perhaps even terrifying several months facing us.  My last best hope is that Americans will get out and vote as they have never done in our past.  People who sigh and shrug and walk away, will now perhaps look at the future and say, I cannot allow that creature to succeed. He must fail; at this, as he fails at everything else. Send him back to his BFFs in Russia. Perhaps Vlad the Impaler will allow him to live out his fading days in Moscow.

So, Americans . . . PLEASE VOTE!

AND VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS AND TIM WALZ.

PLEASE!
