10. I've been steering away from the tv news channels

I needed a break after the Mueller report and subsequent spinning from the WH. The only thing that engages me at this point are our candidates for 2020. Because it appears Trump and Trumpism will require a repudiation at the ballot box to end the debacle.

As for Joe Biden? He's doing very well in the polls. Even before he starts. From the little I've heard, his numbers have been dismissed as 'name recognition' by a number of pundits. Democrats cannot rely on the cable people for much else than criticism and Biden will be no exception. I'm eager to see Joe jump in and change the conversation.

But right now? Things are looking pretty good for Biden. He's well-liked and respected. For voters who want a clear return to normalcy with a seasoned hand on the rudder, Joe is the go-to candidate. He also has working-class creds and is a definite threat to Trump and his ugly Administration.

We shall see. However, the water is going to be very rough for all these candidates.
