Nov. 7, 2020

 

I put the kind of history of Biden on the blog only to say that this is the one, who, if elected (which seems to be the case) will have lots on his plate. He has lots of experience, after so many years of public service as senator for 30 years and vice president for 8 yrs. to help him which Trump never had, to his disadvantage and to our advantage.   If he wins, it is my hope that because of his years of experience in government, he will be able to connect more easily with the non-democrats and try to bring some progress through compromise. That seems to be the normal way of inching forward rather than going nowhere by sticking by whatever your view was. We have had that experience for the past 4 yrs. not only of not going forward, but of going backward in so many ways, because Trump was unfamiliar with foreign relations, that relies not just on big money deals, but more on relationships that come in handy when problems crop up that need the support or understanding of our friends and allies in other countries.

I may be naïve, but it is my hope that Biden has more skill in that department than Trump, who was more like a bull in a china shop, or the bully who, if you don’t want to play the game his way says ok I am taking my ball and going home.
