Unpopular opinion time:

If the Orangeanus can in fact be voted out of power in 10 months’ time, his successor is going to have the monumental task of rebuilding America’s diplomatic connection to the rest of the world.

I believe there will be a reservoir of good will awaiting that next president from a world grateful to be rid of this administration and eager to return to some semblance of normalcy.

But it’s still going to be a massive task, for which a deep reservoir of experience in foreign relations and diplomacy will be a massive asset.

Here’s the unpopular part, I suspect: in light of this week’s international shitshow, how do you convince me as a Democratic primary voter that anyone other than Joe Biden has the right skill set for that huge and hugely delicate task?

It sure as shit isn’t Bernie’s strong suit. I love Warren, but her forte is domestic economic policy. Does it help Buttigieg, given his military experience and language skills? Or does this reinforce the idea he’s too young and inexperienced for this huge job?

And of course the crying shame is THIS is exactly where Hillary would have been perfect.

If only.
