    Can't they manage it like they did with Reagan?

I will say Reagan may have had some of the early stages at the very end of his 8 years. Biden is fried going in.

  Reagan's son wrote in his book that they saw signs of dementia before the end of his first term.

To the OP:  If you heard ANY speaker on this first night of the Republican Nat'l. Convention, you'd know whom to vote for.

You live in Washington state, correct?  You might as well stay at home.  You already know which way your state is going.

 

If you do vote, vote for Joe.

He has promised to raise your taxes.

He has promised to give free healthcare to illegals.

He has promised reparations for blacks because of slavery.

You do know that we vote for more than President and VP in Washington? I am not sure how it works in your neck of the woods. AND we get the our ballots delivered to our mailbox (even for school levies). All in all we are civilization, not like Florida, but we don't have hanging Chads.

This is not a thread for attacks on these men. 

 

 

What I want to know, how will it help me to choose one or the other? Where should my vote go to help me, my family, community and nation?

 

What are the Pros of electing Donald Trump?

What are the Pros of electing Joe Biden?

If you are none of the above, how should I spend my vote? Or stay at home?

Really didn't think you deserved a response with your attitude, BUT YOU were the one that suggested staying at home...

What I asked for is a Pro statement for each candidate in the perspective of this forum. What I got is

 

Reasons to vote for Biden 0

Reasons to vote for Trump 0

 

 

So loving the country is not a pro?  I guess views differ which is one of the reasons I tend to vote GOP.  Even though the media would want you to think otherwise, the GOP is much more inclusive than the party of identity politics.  Whatever, enjoy your governor, and if you live in Seattle, the City Council.

I hear pundits and politicos advertise all the time how they or their camp loves their country and the other side is; Marxist/Fascist/Racist/fillintheblank*ist, and they alone hold the true path. So someone saying the other side is evil is a perfect reason to discount what they have to say. 

 

I am not interested in the Democratic or Republican brand, Just what the Presidential candidates plan to do, and the case for how they will do it. 

 

I have not heard an apologist for either side make that case.

Honestly, I look at this more holistically rather than just the office.  It is very clear that the Democrat Party has shifted toward the far Left which is interesting when you look at some of their past strategies.  Usually we see that Party try to position themselves toward the center of the political spectrum, but that is not happening here.  This added to the fact that they are enabling the riots that are occurring particularly in the NW which I assume you are familiar with, and the fact that they are advocating the tearing down of  institutions that the majority of times are there for the protection of the people drives me further from them.  Sure every person is different, but in this environment of Party First, I cannot just look at the differences between two people.
