I read this

Imho it's fairly simple to make an educated guess: Biden is an uninspiring and rapidly declining opponent, so that offsets Trump's own weaknesses, in particular his failure on the coronavirus reaction. The tiebreaker and deciding factor for November is the question of how hard the economy and job market get ravaged by the coronavirus. If the economy is still in meltdown by November, or the country is still in some sort of lockdown, then Trump is toast. If the economy is on a noticeable upward trajectory, then Trump imho is the clear favorite.

I dont think that this has anything to do with inexperience or outsiders making worse politicians. The administrative failures in the coronavirus response are entirely to be blamed on Trump's very own personality and weaknesses. An outsider who's more serious and less self-absorbed could have handled this with ease. Say a Bloomberg or Ross Perot type.

Yeah, it comes down to temperament. Trump does not have the temperament to be an effective president in times of crisis.

Also the time for petty partisan shit has gone. His Twitter is still full of partisan bullshit.

During times like these the president needs to be the president of all Americans. Not just Republicans.

Clear difference between "a conspiracy with Russia wasn't found" and "nothing was found".

Also not sure why you're conflating the Ukraine issue with this. Trump was impeached over Ukraine, not Russiagate.

They found that the Trump administration was receptive to working with Russia, but failed on several accounts due to incompetence, and may not have been able to be charged due to simply not knowing that their conduct was unlawful.

They also found that Trump ordered subordinates to attempt to obstruct the investigation, but they just refused to do so. McGahn resigned in response to Trump's order to get rid of Mueller. There's the infamous line "If we were confident the president did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state", which is powerful considering Mueller spelled out his framework to only include "did not" and "defer to congress".

Mueller didn't find a smoking gun that Trump colluded with Russia, but he did not find that Trump was innocent on pretty much anything, and "innocent" was explicitly within his framework.
