Accurate column. The next election will decide whether our tenuous connections to democracy remain. If Trump wins, that's it, we are done. I just can't get over the fact that millions of people are clearly willing to end democracy in this country.
Well Ian, me too. I think Biden will make that case well, but I also think he is holding off on that for now because Trump does a pretty good job making the case through his own words and actions. As we get closer to the election, you'll start hearing this a lot more, as happened in 2022.
Spot on Professor. First, though I have enormous respect for David Ignatius, he does not make anything close to a compelling case for Biden to step aside. Secondly, if current economic trends continue and no major international crises arise, come prime campaign season one year from now, Biden will look pretty good in comparison to a trial laden demagogue wannabe who I suspect is not capable of winning more than 40-45% of the popular vote.
Yes Andy, it is hard to understand what brought him to write such a thin, poorly thought out column. I wish I were as sanguine as you about the share of the popular vote Trump will get. We'll see.
