[Labour Party leader Keir Starmer is the UK’s new prime minister.]
We have been holding a little conversation – let’s call it a debate – this week about last week’s debate between Donald J. Trump and Joe Biden.
Is Biden tempting fate by handing an easy victory to a decidedly more authoritarian Trump in refusing to drop out of the presidential race ahead of the Democratic Party’s national convention in August? Will the DNC’s convention in Chicago be a repeat of its disastrous 1968 convention there?
Scroll down with the scrollbar on the right-edge of this page to read Pundit-at-Large Stephen Macaulay’s “From Behind to Way Behind” plus a rundown of all 45 US presidents’ ages at retirement the author provided for Independence Day.
In the left column of that page, you’ll see readers’ responses to Biden’s poor debate performance.
Scroll down further to read analysis of the June 27th debate, with contributing pundit Ken Zino’s commentary, “Substance Abuse – Two Unliked Candidates Confirm Our Problem” in the left column and Macaulay’s commentary, “Take Away the Keys” in the right column.
