There’s only one candidate running for President who stands up for our values as a nation, and that is Joe Biden.
If you don’t believe that when I say it, maybe you’ll believe it when Cindy McCain, wife of the man who tried to keep Joe and his pal Barack out of the White House eight years ago, says it:
McCain and Biden both say McCain has endorsed him because of Trump’s insulting comments about Americans who have served in the military, like her late husband and Biden’s late son.
But McCain tells her local paper, the Arizona Republic, that endorsing Biden isn’t just about honoring the memory of soldiers like her husband and their sacrifice. She says she America needs reliable, experienced leadership, especially in our current crises:
The decision, she said, was not about honoring her husband’s legacy. This was about her.
“I’m like everybody else: I like a good leader and I feel like right now the president doesn’t have my back, he doesn’t take a stand on things that are really important and we have a time of crisis,” Cindy McCain said. “I’m worried that this could go further than it should. My point in getting on board with Joe is that he’s proven — he’s been there. I’ve known him for 40 years. I know his character and his leadership and his honor and his integrity and those things are very important to me.”
McCain said she will remain a registered Republican. She said Biden practices the kind of bipartisan politics her husband did: “Joe shares our values and our concerns and he cares about us. I’m a mother, I’m a business owner, I’m the mother of two military men and I want someone that understands me and understands what’s going on and knows what it takes to really make the tough decisions” [Yvonne Wingett Sanchez and Ronald J. Hansen, “Citing Family Friendship, Character, Cindy McCain Endorses Biden,” Arizona Republic, 2020.09.22].
Joe Biden stands up for American values. Donald Trump stands up for himself. Cindy McCain is right: we need to replace Donald Trump with Joe Biden.
OT Sinate wingnuts drop their bombshell Biden investigation results and as expected found nothing.
From WAPO….. GOP senators’ report calls Hunter Biden’s board position with Ukraine firm ‘problematic,’ but fails to show how it changed U.S. policy
drumpf is sure to spin this in his favor and a third of the populace will believe him.
Ipsos and U.Va.’s Center for Politics has an interactive map that shows political leanings based on local info.

Today in a Northfield city park I noticed an older couple wearing Biden/Harris shirts. We got into conversation. They’re both Republicans till this year, now Democrats. They’ve volunteered to be poll workers because they wanted to be sure there are enough that no polling places are closed down. They’re concerned about GOP voter suppression. They told me my county has a surfeit of poll volunteers, mostly young people with similar concerns.
P.S. I love living in Northfield.
P.S.S. I think I’m right about a Blue Tsunami.
OK, now can she convince him not to participate in the “debate” with Thump?
