4. I think that Biden, himself, will send that message to the voters.

He seems to be good at it.

People have lost any trust they might have had in Trump. He loses people every time he appears on TV or in public. He will maintain support from a minority of voters, but that minority is shrinking all the time, little by little.

His handling of the COVID-19 pandemic is a good example. His inconsistency of message and his bungling appearances at those daily press conferences are having a market effect. People see more competent people at those pressers, and then they see Trump, who has zero competence. Even Mike Pence is putting forward a stronger presence than Trump, and he's not much good at all.

Biden, on the other hand, acknowledges the threat, talks about measure to prevent it from becoming a total disaster, and offers reassurance and promises his full attention to the problem. He is looking very Presidential these days.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
