ONE MAN'S OPINION

COLLINS: The U.S. Is facing what might be its biggest challenge ever.

Jun 30, 2024 | 7:14 AM

WHAT DO YOU DO DO in the world’s most powerful country when you haven’t much faith in either of the candidates running? That’s the huge challenge the United States is facing. And it certainly was evidenced in Thursday’s Presidential debate.

On the one hand you have the Incumbent, Joe Biden. Considered a good man, caring about his country and who has the country slowly getting back on track. But at the same time showing signs of being in his 80s. He is not a great public speaker, stumbles at times when he talks, and on occasion looks like a doddering old man.

And then we have Donald Trump, convicted felon, twice impeached, a proven liar, surrounded by a team that also faces a litany of charges for actions undertaken during their time of service to Trump.

It still makes me wonder about the mentality of people who would vote for Donald Trump over Joe Biden. When a man talks for half an hour or longer and says absolutely nothing that makes sense, and you still want to vote for the man, I would have you question your own ability to make rational decisions. In Thursday’s debate Trump either told an outright lie, or deflected the question every time he opened his mouth. He is already telling us how he will decimate democracy if he gets back into the White House. That’s tantamount to a dictatorship in my opinion. Yet despite all this, he has the support of half of those eligible to vote in November.

The choice is clear to me. I would rather have the honest man who stumbles but is working towards preserving democracy over a convicted felon, bent on preserving himself rather than the country. Who is willing to lie at every opportunity for political gain and taking every opportunity to verbally try to assassinate anyone standing in his way. If that’s your guy, good luck.

COLLINS: Police need to look at changing tactics

I’ll give my thanks every day that I live in a country like Canada, despite the flaws in our political leaders, instead of a country like the United States, which is certainly not the land of the free and the home of the brave. Not anymore.

I’m Doug Collins and that’s One Man’s Opinion.
