My husband, Douglas Harris and I both agree. President Biden’s grasp of what it takes to be a president, in terms of domestic policies and getting things done, was on display Thursday evening despite his frail appearance and overlong pauses. But Trump was Trump, unfortunately, full of bombast, or as Shakespeare would say, “full of sound and fury and signifying nothing.”

However, former President Trump did speak truthfully and with knowledge on one occasion, and caught Biden in an outright lie. Regarding the war on Gaza, Palestine by Israel, Hamas is willing to accept the Biden peace plan if the cease-fire can be made permanent. It’s Benjamin Netanyahu who wants to continue the onslaught, despite a possible arrest warrant that might soon be issued by the International Court of Justice for war crimes and possible genocide.

Though we wish the president would impose an arms embargo on Israel as long as the war continues, we sincerely hope Biden will show stamina in the next debate. Doug and I shudder to think what might happen if Trump were to regain power.
