All of this unpleasantness could have been dealt with. Joe Biden could be leading the country,

0:07.3

uniting the country, as a one-term president. He would have been beloved. He could have ushered in

0:12.7

generational change, but no, he made a different choice. If Donald Trump becomes the president

0:18.4

1:31.1

The legacy is singular.

1:33.2

Trump is the man who desecrated his oath, who attacked the country, and Joe Biden will

1:38.8

be remembered as the man who let him do it.

1:41.8

The man who could not make an argument about American democracy on the

1:47.9

edge of the country celebration of the 250th year of its independence. Let's understand
