Well, it looks like it will be Trump v Biden in November.
Both of these men have their limits...
Trump's are obvious...relentless liar, favouring the Big Lie over the Unvarnished Truth every time he has had a chance to decide between the two of them; difficulty with objective reality that he doesn't like; preference for dividing his country as opposed to uniting it as a path to success; massive conflicts of interest, and likely criminal behaviour in office; inability to take professional advice; the fact that he is Putin's bitch.
Biden has some serious limits as well...very questionable dealings by his son in Ukraine while Biden was VP; ownership of much of Obama's legacy, which is mixed at best; and Biden's tendency to come across like he has Alzheimer's disease from time to time.
I think Pence will be dumped by Trump soon. Pence's slavish, 100% devotion to Trump will not be seen as good enough by a man who demands 125%!
And, crucially, both Trump and Biden are OLD! There is a very real chance neither of these men will finish their time in office if they win.
Their respective advanced ages will be a primary consideration by voters in November, so the presidential election may come down to who they choose as running mates.
Trump will likely choose a right-wing lunatic to replace Pence; basically, a mirror image of Trump...Giuliani, or maybe Trump's daughter?
In contrast, Biden has undertaken to choose a female running mate (...no, it will not be Trump's daughter.) I think that if Biden chooses Kamala Harris, who is very effective and articulate - as a former prosecutor, she is the perfect attack dog against Trump - he will win this in a landslide.
Think about a subdued repeat of Obama-mania.
MANA! MANA!*
