Biden's policies make it particularly easy for anti-Trump Republicans to support him. Biden opened the southern border, bugged out in Afghanistan, inflated the economy, blew the Abraham accords, gave terror-supporting money to Iran, outrageously treated Hamas and Israel as ethical equals in search of Muslim and youth votes, and is silent in the face of campus-closing rabble-rousers, to name only a few. And if that's not bad enough, he is failing both physically and mentally, failings which could only get worse if he's elected to a term that would end with an 86 year old president. I think he's right down there with Buchanan and Andrew Johnson. Under the circumstances, it's not hard for Trump-questioning Republicans to cast their ballots for him. Jim Dueholm

For quite a while I thought that if Trump got the nomination I would hope for Biden to win (I would never vote for him) as a way of finally putting a dagger in the heart of Trumpism. That was before the last year. Biden's utter betrayal of Israel, appeasement of Iran, refusal to enforce the law and unwillingness to challenge the ever growing radical crazies in his party has led me to worry that something truly and irrevocably disastrous could happen if he (or Harris) is in office in January 25. Now I am leaning towards rooting for Trump even though in my view he fails to meet the minimum threshold of fitness for office. Problem is Biden doesn't come close to meeting it either PLUS his policies are genuinely dangerous. I wouldn't vote for either in any case. One think I know for sure. This country and the western world is in a heap of trouble.

Paul: As arrogant and egocentric as swamp scribes are (they cannot imagine anyone who sees the world differently), I think this is more about frustration than anything else. They've thrown the kitchen sink and torn up the Constitution to derail Trump - and now they want to send him to prison without protection. It's not working and they're running out of ideas and patience, so they're blaming the voters.

They've twisted the crime, labor and inflation statistics to distract people from the reality of their own housing, grocery and fuel bills; they're trying to imprison his lawyers and even supporters ("fake electors") with bogus forgery charges; they're pumping trillions of new debt into the economy to goose the stock market and government-related payrolls ... and none of it has worked.

The harder they try, the worse it gets.

How awful it must be.
