Robert Hudson, I wasn’t sure if Biden would last in the democratic debates;however, he was always in my lineup. Aside from the far-left candidates, many candidates pushed Biden for the nominee. I’m sure you well aware of how this country is severely divided. Biden and his team did very well by strategically visiting targeted areas, and it worked! I agree, Pete is well on his way to the top. I think he should get a cabinet position in Biden Administration.

Going into the service back in the 60s didn’t necessarily mean going to Vietnam. I enlisted in the Marines for a four year hitch, andbecame a journalist. I served at Cherry Point MCAS, Camp Pendleton, Camp Courtney in Okinawa and MCAS Iwakuni in Japan before I was mustered out honorably and went back to college. Many draftees were not sent to Vietnam at that time as well. Trump’s avoidance was deplorable and I don’t think he should have been allowed to run for the office to begin with.

I was a life-long Republican, and Trump and his cronies, his lackeys, and his supporters do not represent the integrity, ideals and values of The Party that I supported for most of my adult life. John McCain was the last great Republican, and we may have to wait a generation or more for another one. We have a party leadership that has abandoned financial responsibility, individual freedom, and respect for legal principles, an inclusive party with a wide base of support from liberal to conservative, dedicated to equal rights for all, and before you start trolling that assertion, I'll ask you: which party abolished slavery? Now the GOP leadership is devoted to the dementia of the day and making the rich richer, removing any safety nets that existed for the less affluent, and systematically stripping the freedoms that have been affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States over the past hundred and fifty-plus years.
