Conservative New Hampshire paper backs Biden -- its first Democratic endorsement in 100 years

[frazzled]

17. Correct

COVID has been a useful metonymic reference for the real issue that is driving this election: character. It’s about a hateful, untruthful, vulgar, and ignorant character vs. a caring, honest, and competent one.

Trump’s failure of character is starkly evident in his approach to COVID, but it started much earlier with the Muslim ban, the children in cages, the equivalency of peaceful protesters and neo-Nazis, the attacks on the press, the belittling of women, and the never ending stream of patent lies. This was all apparent from Day 1, and reflected in his approval numbers. There was never a honeymoon.

I’ve never seen an election where the main, underlying issue is character, but here we are. It really is down to Obnoxious Crazy Uncle vs. Mr. Rogers.
