Thanks BJ. Pretty good summary of things. But, I think you missed the most obvious reason people wouldn't vote for Joe Biden. It wasn't that Hunter Biden got a pass and would have been prosecuted if he had a different last name. It's that no one (in the red tribe) believed Hunter was acting on his own recognizance. In other words, Joe Biden is a crook who was abusing his public office and taxpayer funds (e.g., billions in loan guarantees for Ukraine) to feather his own nest, using his son to cover his tracks.

This may have been what you were obliquely alluding to when referencing Hunter Biden. But, I doubt most in the red tribe care that a politician's crack addicted son might have been engaging in misbehavior yet still got a pass. It's the obvious connection of these shakedowns to his father -- and the fact that we usually see only 10% of the iceberg, so there's likely a lot more out there.

Regardless, a pretty accurate summary nonetheless. Thanks for your writings. I enjoy them even when you tell me not to read them!
