Gadol, I partly agree with Barr –
Trump was and probably is more electable than many other R-s who do not fight back after being attacked with dirty tricks. Somehow we all are more outraged by Trump’s antics than by how he was attacked. I guess “man bite dog” …
But I also think that his policies are better of many of R-s who might talk well but lack skills. I am afraid the new R- fashion is exactly to talk like Trump, but not to perform like him.
Frankly, given that Biden is still somewhat sane, he should do the right thing and hire Trump as chief of staff and let him deal with Ptutin. Also, Germans should hire Merkel back (reportedly she was the last politician Putin respected).
