This is a letter from Scotland - so why am I writing about US politics, you may ask. It matters to us all who is the next President of the USA. As my colleague Joyce McMillan put it recently, America may make its bed, but we will all have to lie on it. This week the threat of a second Trump term looms ever closer.
With respect, I don't agree that Kamala has made only minor slips comparable to those of Biden or Trump. She seemed fine during the primaries four years ago, but since then she's had some truly awful painful moments in front of a microphone. So bad they're funny. Must be nerves.
The Democrats seriously miscalculated when they went with Hilary Clinton given that there was already such a solid automatic anti-Clinton block in existence. I don't see an alternative to Biden given the power of incumbency versus the major catastrophe that would be another Trump Presidency.
