6. What is your reaction to each of the following points made by the NY Post Editorial Board in their endorsement of Donald Trump? (Do you agree or disagree with each assertion? Explain your answers.)
- Today, Trump exhibits the same strength and vigor as he did in 2016, despite the unprecedented and disgraceful weaponization of the justice system against him, two assassination attempts and the all-too-familiar constant barrage of hysterical media attacks on him.
- Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has rightly been criticized as an under-qualified political lightweight because she refuses to answer almost any question about the last four years or reveal any detailed future policy plans.
- What may also be just as true is that [Harris] doesn’t want the American people to know the full scale of her radical plans, because it would scare them off. Indeed, any close study of her record shows it to be that of a San Francisco progressive.
- If she wins, Harris will not only co-opt Bidenism but accelerate the progressive hurricane ripping through the fabric of American society.
- Voters this fall will decide if the future of our country bends toward prosperity, security, freedom, opportunity and innovation [with Trump].
- Or sticks with ruinous big government largesse, deliberately divisive policies, appeasement and stagnation [with Kamala Harris].
