Eagle-eyed observers will have noted the absence of Kangaroo Politics from your inboxes for the last few months….I know you missed me!
The truth is that the race had gotten so boring that there was nothing interesting left to write about.
Trump became a convicted criminal unlikely to serve a day in prison - continuing the American tradition of white collar criminals avoiding punishment.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden had barely moved, either physically or in the polls, in months. He remained lackluster in all respects.
Then…. the unthinkable happened…a politician put the interests of the country ahead of their own!!
Recognizing that his position was untenable, and his legacy was being tarnished, Biden did the honorable thing and dropped out.
That shook up the race with little more than 100 days left. Rather than Sleepy Joe and the Same old Trump…It’s now Kamala v Trump…the contrast is clear.
We are facing a monumental sprint to the first Tuesday in November and Kangaroo politics can’t be left out of that!
So strap in for the rollercoaster ahead…on an irregular but consistent cadence, we will bounce into your inboxes with all the tidbits and translations from the trail.
Glad to have you along for the ride.
P.S. You will notice we have shifted to Sub-stack…easier to share with your mates, so no excuses. Tap the share button and send this along so you can all be in the know with all the happenings of American politics, translated for the expats!
