Today, the Washington Post published an article about an undecided voter from Indiana named Mike Baker. Baker supposedly watched both conventions yet still cant make up his mind who who is the best candidate for president. My first thought on reading this is that Baker is either a closet Trumpist too ashamed to just admit it, or just simply a dumbass. In the article, Baker fretted over Trumps personality; he had fretted so much over that key feature that he even sat out the 2016 election, saying that he couldnt have Trump as a guest in his house. Okayyyyy
.
Baker went on to say that his number one concern, though, was the economy and that he liked Trumps pro business policies. It was then that I realized that Baker doesnt understand the economy, not in the slightest, since the economy is in the ditch and has been whipsawed since Trumps biggest crowd EVER inauguration day up until about 5 minutes ago. Unemployment exploded this spring to 22 million people, and still is hovering at 13 million. By all measures that affect American workers, the economy has collapsed.
Fretting about Biden, Baker said, Trump is defining Biden, but I sort of need to hear Biden define Biden, or at least the Democratic Party to define Biden. Its got to be more than [Trump] is the worst person on Earth. My answer to that is this: When you were watching the Democratic Convention, you must have had your head up your ass looking out through your navel. The convention carefully laid out Bidens and the Dems goals and policies. Oh, and theres that little detail that Joe Biden has been in the public eye for half a century. If you dont know his polices, youre not paying the slightest bit of attention.

To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.
