All she does is post ideas she’s heard so often from other places that she assumes they ‘must’ be true. But like every other person who falls into this BS, she can’t ever come up with a valid cite. ---

They’re about zillion other Americans struggling with the Biden/Trump challenge. It’s called close polling numbers and indecisiveness. I generally think Democratic is the way to go. And will vote that way. Others aren’t that clear. ---

So @griffin1977 says that Trump is senile and you talk about choosing between Trump and a senile person. It seems like a non sequitur. ---

I believe people would choose a supposedly senile person, who has done a good job so far, over trump. I would also. Why was there not a warning for griffin? ---

OMG. I just went back and reread griffin. When I saw the heading, I thought it was referring Biden instead of Trump!😳🤦‍♀️ ---

Which has little to do with my point. You can’t fault someone for questioning the choice we have in this presidential race. Half the country in wrong, another 1/4 is uncertain. This is the whole reason we’re talking about it. ---
