Better from Biden but Democrats have yet to find 'the one' - which suits Trump

It was too late to watch the second debate live last night in the UK, so I'll watch it this morning, but here's
David Smith's report on how it went in The Guardian:

our so-called "liberal" M$M will always use RW TPs to frame that person.

This is, IMO, one of the top reasons why we need a REAL fighter as our standard bearer. Based on what I've seen/heard/read so far in/about the debates and on Biden's own record in the Senate, tRump would eat him alive in the GE, using his usual vicious cocktail of lies, slurs, outright smears, name-calling, deflection and bloviation ... and the M$M would eagerly help him do just that.

IMO, we might just as well go for broke with a candidate who IS a fighter.

I am just about ready - finally - to opt for the one I prefer.

And when I do, I will strive primarily to post the strengths of MY chosen candidate. We have a plethora of good choices.
