A BIT OF SATIRE FOR A SATURDAY MORNING:
Should Joe Biden suspend his campaign since the president has coronavirus?
Yes, he should!
It’s only fair that there be a level playing field in the election.
Trump and his fellow Republicans have only shown good sportsmanship so far, and Biden should do the same.
Remember how Republicans honoured Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish to only appoint her successor after the winner of the election is inaugurated?
Or their efforts to ensure all citizens can safely and easily vote, no matter what skin colour or political alignment?
Who can forget how through bi-partisan work with congressional Democrats, they ensured all congressional districts were apportioned fairly and equally.
And how they campaigned to admit Puerto Rico and the Mariana Islands as States, so that all Americans could be represented in the Senate and the House.
They might not always see eye-to-eye with their Democrat colleagues when it comes to policy, but the Republicans’ highest commitment has always been to the American Constitution and the ideals of a fair and equitable government by and for the people.
Given Trump’s selfless and tireless service to his country, and his quick-thinking interventions that prevented the Covid-19 crisis from being worse than it needed to be, I believe Biden should at least do him the honour of not campaigning against him while he recovers.
I have no doubt in my mind that Trump would do the same for him.
