My take on the Democrat Convention

I watched most of the convention and the excellent speeches by the Obamas and Oprah Winfrey, including of course, Kamala Harris’ closing address. I liked the whole four-night program and believe that Harris is well on her way to beat Trump. 

Why? Because the regain of enthusiasm for her can be directly traced to her younger age and the energy and enthusiasm that come with it. Biden and Trump are old, defensive, grumpy and negative. They cannot longer lead, they’re on the road to extinction. 

I know what I’m talking about, I’m 76. Be just caretakers? Perhaps, but they won’t be able to respond well to crises or unforeseen events. At their age, they were as flexible as a glass plate and can no longer adapt to a changing world. 

With Biden gone, Trump is the “almost 80 guy” and is stuck in place unable to change his tune. Same thing with Kennedy 70, who is shutting down is campaign and was made totally obsolete by Kamala. 

He only made sense when he still was the only younger alternative facing Biden and Trump and could be seen by some as a slightly better alternative to them, now, that he has become “canceled” by Harris, his voters will turn to her, certainly not go to Mr. Negative, aka Donald Trump.
