Eugene Robinson: If Trump Is Allowed to Stay in Office for 4 More Years, Things Will Get Much Worse

EXCERPT:

ROBINSON: "If you were in court, a defense attorney or whatever, you’d say, 'Your honor, I rest my case after those statement.' But, of course, Joe Biden can’t rest his case. I really liked the announcement video. I thought putting the crisis at center stage, we must get rid of Donald Trump, he is doing tremendous damage to the country, potentially lasting damage to the country. If he’s allowed to stay in office an additional four years, it will be much, much worse. And to paint himself as a guy who can stop the madness, who can end this and get it back on a course where we can have intelligent debate about healthcare policy and about foreign policy and defense spending and all the things that we should argue about rather than dealing with this lunatic in the White House, this family grifters that have attached themselves like leaches to the White House. It’s incredible. So I thought that was good, and I agree with something that Donnie said. You can picture Joe Biden up on the debate stage next to Donald Trump, giving better than he gets, right? He’s not going to shrink from Trump. He’s not going to look small. He’s not going to look insubstantial in the least and he’s not going to look intimidated. You know, that’s important. I think those sort of nonverbal cues are important."
