From where I stand, neither Trump nor Biden should even be in the same neighborhood as the White House. That being said, I’d rather deal with the arrogant narcissist who bluntly tells you how he feels than the career politician who pees on your head and tells you it’s raining.
The problem with your logic is that you left something out.

He doesn’t just tell you how he feels. He tells you how you need to feel about him.

Biden doesn’t do that nor does he color his decisions based on what will make him the most money. Biden will make better decisions in the best interests of the USA.

That and after working as a substitute teacher in an urban school district and saw that tax cuts and the hands off governmental approach espoused by so many Republicans while sounding good on paper, was not helping the neediest people in our society. Now I realize that both sides, Left and Right, have their issues and we are seriously in need of a third middle ground voice. But no, I will not vote back in our current president because he reminds me too much of the worst egotistical bosses I had, the type that pretends to know everything all the time but never listens to anyone but him/herself and only knows how to take credit and dish out blame. I wish someone more moderate and less ideological like Mitt Romney was running right now so that our nation can heal but I guess I will either vote for Biden or write in a name and consider my vote going nowhere this election.
I don't agree in a protest vote since whoever is the next president still has consequences. Unless I have plans to move from the US, I still care what happens to this country. That being said, I would also vote for Mitt Romney and honestly would vote for him over some Democrats. But of course Trump supporters now consider Romney a RINO.

Remember: "If you're not a Liberal by age 25, you have no heart. If you're not a Conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain."

You think Biden will be making decisions? You are completely overlooking his obvious loss of cognitive ability. I don’t say this to be mean or rude. I have seen family members suffer the mental effects of aging, and I have no doubt that assuming I live another thirtyish years I will as well. The simple fact of the matter is that Biden, while he was an extremely talented politician in his earlier career, is not nearly as mentally competent as he used to be. It shows every time he is front and center.

With coronavirus, the democratic led states have refused to loosen their control despite the overwhelming evidence that the virus is not at all the threat predicted when the shutdown started and they've used the economic carnage to justify MASSIVE redistribution of funds, to groups that they want funds directed at.

With the recent protests, I'm flat out disgusted how the left has responded, justifying the anarchy and wreckage and completely ignoring any injustices aside from their soapbox of black oppression. Growing up in a pretty well diversified group of friends and acquaintances, their laundry list of "prejudice" just does not match my experience in life. Before I may have been sympathetic to a historical plight of injustice. Now, I realize articles like this are just tools to divide people, keep them in this pigeonhole mentality of being "the victim" or "the oppressor" and using minorities as pawns to accomplish their own agenda. The inclusiveness of the left is hypocrisy, they are more hostile towards anyone not like them or who does not think like them than the good ole boys of the GOP ever were.

I still think republicans are dumb and Trump is an idiot, but I'm absolutely terrified of what the "progressive" lefts agenda is. As of now, I'm planning to vote R on my ballot.
welcome to my world. pull up a chair. here is some ice tea.

Biden doesn't remember how he felt yesterday and his wife will tell him how to feel tomorrow.

You had your chance to vote for Romney in 2012 and I'll bet any amount of money you didn't, and voted for Obama. I'd like to thank you because Obama's re-election gave us President Trump. That's right, you elected Trump.

I'm not looking over anything if you look at my posting history.

He remains more qualified than the current con man.

The Democrats can still orchestrate an internal coup and consider Biden unfit for office at which point they'll turn the presidency over to his VP. Or maybe Biden knows his cognitive memory is running out and will voluntarily step aside for his VP soon after getting reelected.
