The Democrats have tried too hard to convince the electorate that Biden is the only plausible candidate to defeat Trump, yet exposing Trump's evident deficiencies is insufficient; I agree, a voter needs to be inspired to vote for something not simply against something. Any compos mentis opponent would have destroyed Trump, but yesterday's sabre rattling to the faithful and party endorsements suggests nothing has been learned. Presidential hubris is not new, of course, but this is the first time I can think of where both parties almost feel as if they are secondary concerns. Unless things change by and in Chicago, September 10th could be just as painful to watch.
