TRUMP AND BIDEN ARE KEEPING tv stations and the networks in the black — and that has nothing to do with the so-called “Black Lives Matter” rage .
We are inundated by political commercials from city council candidates to Biden and Trump.
The First Tuesday in November cannot come soon enough.
I AM AMUSED with Biden’s campaign ads.
They appear to be rewrites of Trump’s 2016 advertisements. I would have thought Biden’s handlers could do better, be a little original.
Biden’s Build Back and Build Back Better sounds a lot like Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA).
Listen to Biden’s Made in America spiel.1
Biden: When we spend American taxpayers’ money, we should use it to buy American products.
- Trump not only promoted “Buy USA” he also forced U.S. companies, e.g., Ford, to being back plants taken across the border. Before the Chinese virus, unemployment in the US was 3.6% In 2015, when Biden was vice-president, unemployment stood at 5%. The virus-related unemployment is not “party sensitive.
- As an aside, when Biden’s former boss needed a bus or his campaign, he bought it not in the U.S. but in Canada!
Biden wants to support American workers. To that end, as a senator, he supported the Geo. W. Bush plan to build a fence along the U.S.-Mexican border2. Who else voted with Biden?
Barbara Boxer, Barbara Mckulski, Chuck Shulman, Dianne Feinstein, Hillary Clinton, Richard Durbin, among others3. In the House, Nancy Pelosi voted No.4 Unlike the Senate, the House vote was mostly by party line.
Californian Pelosi, to her credit, or discredit, consistently votes for illegal immigration.
Biden wants to “enhance national security” by reducing the nation’s dependence on China.
- Trump already is distancing the country from China; he’s raised tariffs to make American products more competitive. Trump also is closing Chinese consulates accused of spying on U.S. technology leaders and the U.S. government.
Biden wants to invest in small businesses — with whose money he prefers not to say.
- According to Business.com5, some of Trump's plans have helped small businesses.
- Tax policy reform: The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, reduced both the individual income and corporate tax rates, and doubled the standard deduction. More than 34 percent of respondents said their tax liability decreased under the law, while more than 21 percent plan on increasing capital investments as a result.
- Association Health Plans: The Trump administration moved to offer employers a choice of AHPs in June 2018. These plans essentially allow small businesses to buy into group health plans together and are intended to offer small businesses a cost-effective way to offer more competitive benefits.
- Trade policy and tariffs: The Trump administration's approach to trade policy has included the levy of have had no significant impact.
Biden wisely does not mention race or misogyny in his advertisements. In both these cases, he lives in a glass house. Trump also is known as a sexist. For the record, so was JFK and his brother Teddy. That, of course doesn’t make it “OK,” but it is interesting that when a Democrat is a cheater, the media is silent.
No good choice
Between Biden’s apparent senility and Trump’s lack of discretion, Americans are faced with a lose-lose situation in November, assuming that both “presumptive” candidates make it to Election Day.
If Trump keeps Pence as his VP, America will remain tilted to the right. Pence’s one failure since 2016 is not being able to rein in Trump’s bombasity. Trump can best be described as a person who has knee jerk reactions.
On the other hand, Biden has shown there are time when he has no reaction even when a reaction is appropriate.
If Biden is elected, based on his appearances6, 7, 8, his vice president will be acting president, if not formally but effectively. Depending on who the Democrats foist on Biden will determine how far left the country will tilt.
There does not appear to be civility nor compromise on the political horizon.
