A Harris presidency

I believe that historians will look at 2020 as a turning point in this country.

While the impeachment marathon was coming to a close, here comes the virus from China, taking down the economy and the health and employment of so many. The senseless killing of George Floyd and all that followed added to the concern of the public. With our “leaders” playing the blame game on a daily, sickening basis.

Throw in the media and print’s unrelenting hatred of this president. I believe that the voters will select a figurehead in Biden, where we know Harris, A.O.C. and her socialist buddies will take the reins.

When this happens, the economy won’t be able to keep up with the spending their vast programs call for. Their list is long and not sustainable. Inflation and unemployment will continue to rise. They won’t be able to spend their way out of it. As businesses close and factories relocate. Many of us can’t stand Trump’s daily narcissistic rants any more than the other side can. But I can put up with it for another term as compared to the disaster Harris will bring.

Talk about backing into the White House! She was one of the first to drop out. Even Inslee lasted longer. So, vote for good old Joe, and see how that works out down the road. China, Russia and ISIS can’t wait.
