We realized some “guardrails” were simply conventions during Trump’s first term.

Fixed that for you.

The final nail in the coffin shocker for me was that Trump could easily churn through people by firings until he found a complete lackey or appoint one.

I don’t blame the voters.

I do. They lost sight of what was valuable and fell for promises from a huckster who showed in his first term that he could not deliver. Just what did they vote on? Inflation and immigration? We didn't lose by that much so that means the wishy-washy voters that like to call themselves independent went with Trump.

But it was apparent going into the stretch that Biden wasn't going to win. I found myself questioning my contribution strategy - it's hard to send in money when you see you're losing.

Did the Democrats do a poor job? Yes. But something happened to Biden in that six to eight months before the debate.
