OPINION:
Given a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll showing former President Donald Trump with a commanding lead of nearly 10 points over President Biden, I’m beginning to think there’s hope for America after all.
Mr. Trump has shrewdly countered Mr. Biden’s inflation and open borders by campaigning on a platform of instant economic relief. How? He’ll reopen America’s energy industry and enact the “greatest deportation policy in human history.” And it appears this “Survive ’til ’25” theme is graining traction with the American public.
Though I strongly suspect that the ancient Mr. Biden will be replaced long before Election Day more than a year from now, he is the worst president in history and deserves to be the face of this forthcoming, humiliating electoral defeat. Americans like me are sick of this corrupt liar and con man, his administration and above all, his country-destroying policies.
However, Mr. Trump can’t afford to take his foot off the gas. In fact, he would be smart to run this race as if he were 10 points behind. That way, he can ensure such a resounding electoral victory that no one will question it.
