Have a little faith, baby

Kurt Schlichter says things are looking up.
There’s an enthusiasm gap that’s even wider than the yawning chasm between Bill Kristol’s self-image and the cheesy reality. Trump voters are willing to crawl over broken glass to vote for The Donald; savvy Dems are looking for broken glass to slash their wrists because they know their addled nominee is a senile old weirdo on an express train to McGovernville. Who, exactly, are the people saying, “I’m really excited by the dynamic possibilities of a Joe Biden presidency!” except the marketing guys at Ensure and Depends?

People look at it on a map and imagine some sort of earthly paradise, but every place has its plusses and minuses.

PS, so now we know, Jill Biden has done all this so that Kamala Harris can become President. Oh wait, maybe they haven't thought this through. Anyway hopefully Trump will be returned and we won't have to see a catfight for power in the White House.

Most natural paradises turn out not to be because of those pesky little things called humans.

I think Harris is a weak choice, but Biden pretty much painted himself into a corner, so it was probably going to have to be either her or Susan Rice. It'll be fun watching Harris (1) explain why she didn't really mean it when she said all those spiteful things about Biden in the primaries, and (2) try to defend against the devastating criticisms made by Tulsi Gabbard in the debates about her policies as California AG.

Willie Brown told her not to accept, that it was a trap. We'll see if he was right.

He also said that she would "work her behind off" for Biden - and if anybody's an expert on the working of her behind, it's probably Willie.
