Harris v. Trump: It all comes down to this

For almost every job, there is a minimal threshold you have to cross, a bar you have to rise above to even be considered for the position. Depending on the job, it might be a college degree or 3 years of experience. But it’s something.

For the job of POTUS, however one decides the minimal criteria, Kamala Harris has soared above that bar — and continues every day show why she is more than qualified to be President.

Meanwhile, Trump clearly sank below that bar on January 6th 2021 and — with his current bizarre behavior — drops lower and lower with each passing hour. In the last weeks, his public appearances have become so off-the-rails — that any one of them would have ended the candidacy of anyone but Trump. Take a look at his Univision town hall for one stark example. Or consider his 40 minute dancing interlude. Or listen to just about any of his recent speeches, which the New York Times describes as “Increasingly Angry and Rambling.” Most troubling is his more and more explicit and fascistic “enemy within” rhetoric.

To put it bluntly, Trump has basically lost his mind. And Trump’s campaign staff knows it. That’s why they keep cancelling interviews that he had previously agreed to do — a “Sign of How Bad He’s Doing.”

This is all anyone needs to know to decide their vote in this election. One candidate easily exceeds the bar. The other sinks below it. This race should not even be close. Although polls currently rate the race as a “toss-up,” I predict sanity will prevail — and Harris will be the one to declare victory in the end.
