The case against Trump. The case against Biden

The case against Trump is made by Kevin Williamson, a conservative “never Trumper”. 

The case against Biden is made by Ben Shapiro, though one has to put up with his rapid-fire speech.

 And discussion between two Trump haters, Andrew Sullivan and Sam Harris

ADDED: Re the Harris Andrew Sullivan podcast. These are two super smart men violently agreeing with each other about how horrid Trump is. They raise the issue of Trump’s achievements before decreeing there are none. Do they truly think this? Are they that much in their vortex that they don’t find a single one? I’m no Trump fan bit can think of several off the top of my head: smashing ISIS (this was such a big deal at the time even the New York Times front-paged it), The First Steps Act providing a pathway for released prisoners, disproportionately affecting African Americans, cutting regulations spurred economic growth, cutting taxes put more money in poor and middle class hands, the first major increase in real wages in decades, Middle East peace deal — the likes of which would have had the ,Edina drooling had they been by Obama. Now, there’s a lot in the other side of the ledger, his boorishness, cupidity, incompetence even. Bit these are substantial achievements far outweighing the whole of Biden’s record. And these two gents couldn’t even recall one?

ADDED: Harris agrees with the censorship by Twitter of the story about Joe and Hunter Bidens corruption because the voters are so childish they may be fooled into voting for Trump again. That’s how ethical he is. (Sullivan disagrees with Harris, to his credit).
