The first overturned dozens of Biden decrees, including the “Advancing Racial Equity” executive order signed in the first hours of his presidency in 2021. The second ended all initiatives, offices, contracts, and employees connected to DEI, which Trump referred to as “illegal and immoral discrimination programs.”

Ford, and his pardon of his predecessor, Richard Nixon, who resigned in disgrace and under threat of impeachment for the Watergate scandal - a move that almost certainly led to Ford's defeat in the 1976 election against Jimmy Carter.

Bush’s malaprops, John Kerry’s hedges, Joe Biden’s gaffes, and Donald Trump’s ramblings, but we have never yet seen a national candidate so vacuous and incapable of basic communication as Harris. (As bad as Biden is now, at least we can all remember when he was capable of that.)
