RealClearPolitics links to a column at Medium by a John Ellis where he takes up four illusions many hold about today's U.S. politics. He sets out to demolish each of the four and does a reasonable job.
What are the four political views Ellis believes are illusions?
- Biden is not too old.
- Harris "has what it takes."
- Trump is done.
- Trump can't win.
He adds that beyond Biden and Harris, the Democrats have no "bench," no obvious candidate. I find myself largely in agreement with his negative characterizations. Ellis is a former columnist for the Boston Globe and a long-time political analyst.
