Customer Reviews
What if not Trump but Biden wins and dies
Interesting discussion about what if Trump wins. But it seems to me that you missed the really big one. What if Biden wins. What if Biden wins and dies on January 1 and his vice president, Kamala Harris? Is now president.
Is the American populace really comfortable with Harris, as president? It seems to me that this point has been totally ignored by both the conservative and liberal Press.
Does Harris have any meaningful experience to be president? Does Harris have the intellectual capacity to be president? would Harris, usher in Woke 2.0?
