I’m voting for Trump because I don’t want Kamala Harris to be president
"We are avoiding the elephant in the room in my opinion — the probability that if Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is elected, vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris will be our president during Biden’s term"
That is always a possibility, but how probable is it?
Joe Biden is a healthy man, and only 3 years older than Donald Trump. If you believe Donald Trump isn't stopped by his age, there is no reason for you to believe Joe Biden is. Old guys can do a lot of things.
If you watched the acceptance speech, you'd know that the hierarchy is obvious. Kamala Harris acknowledges Joe Biden's leadership and Presidency, and isn't showing any indication of even wanting to challenge that. Joe Biden has taken on the leadership and Presidency even though it will be 2 months more before he actually will be the President. After all, the President present isn't doing his job. He's just whining because he lost. Pitiful.
There are no reasons to assume Kamala Harris would be "the éminence grise", power behind the power.
So, there's no reason to even imagine Kamala Harris "negotiating deals with world leaders", "being the commander-in-chief of the greatest military in the world", "leading us out of a pandemic", "negotiating a peace treaty in the Middle East", or "bringing back our economy"
On the other hand, we have plenty of examples of how Donald Trump failed in all of those tasks.
He has been scrapping deals with world leaders left and right, fraternizing with enemies and insulting allies. He has better relationship with dictators than democratically elected leaders. His idea of negotiations is "you do as I say or else!", and the world leaders just give him "the look", and ignore his empty threats.

Trump’s Foreign Policy Moments
Trump as the commander-in-chief of the greatest military in the world hasn't been hiding his disdain to POWs, veterans, those who died, and those who currently serve. The military dislikes him. He doesn't listen to the experts, but believes to know everything better, he doesn't know the situation, he doesn't know how the military has evolved since he was in the military school - 50 years ago - , he is unreliable, orders this today, and something else tomorrow, is uffing and puffing and throwing threats and boast around, doesn't back his allies or military... in the latest election he told not to count the military votes. When 6 US soldiers were killed in an accident, he didn't even mention it, because he was too busy lying about election fraud.
Is this REALLY preferable to you? I myself can't imagine ANYONE doing a WORSE job.
What Top Military Officers Think About Trump
When it comes to "leading us out of a pandemic", Trump doesn't even believe there is a pandemic. He believes it's a hoax, that it would go away if people just stopped talking about it.
Biden has already done more to lead USA out of pandemic than Trump ever.
Also, Trump administration had Obama administration's play book and experience with dealing with a pandemic to help them. They chose not to use it.
When it comes to peace in the Middle East... Yes, he was there when Israel, UAE, and Bahrain signed a treaty, but Israel, UAE, and Bahrain never had any conflict to begin with. Moving the embassy to Jerusalem didn't do anything to calm the situation down, on the contrary. That's equivalent of Ariel Sharon taking a walk on Temple Mount just to piss off people. Totally unnecessary, and caused a lot of deaths and misery.
Also, UAE is one of the biggest human rights violations in the Middle East, bullying Yemen and Qatar, with USA's aid.
And how he sold the Kurds out... oh my.
Sure he has some "friends" in the Middle East. But he only sides with those who are stronger, totally ignoring what is right.
"Bringing back our economy"...
When Trump took Presidency, the unemployment rate was 4.7 and declining.
So... Obama stopped the development and got the rate down, Trump didn't change anything. Except when Covid came. De facto unemployment rate is HIGHER when Biden takes the Presidency than when Trump took the Presidency.
Want to KNOW something else interesting? When Bush jr. took Presidency, the unemployment rate was 4.2.
So - a Democrat President leaves with 4.2 unemployment rate.
A Republican leaves with 7.8 - 3.6 point higher.
A Democrat leaves with 4.7 unemployment rate. 3.1 point lower.
A Republican has now 6.9 unemployment rate. 2.2 higher than what he began with.
And you are saying Republican presidents are good for employment.
The facts don't support that claim.
Also, how is it the Democrats' fault that the Republican President, and Republican Senate can't deal with Covid? The job losses in 2020 ARE Trump's fault. Yet you would rather vote for him than Obama's vice President?
See that crash during Bush's Presidency? See the crashes during recession? See how Bush lost jobs and lost jobs and kept losing jobs, and how Obama managed to stop the downward curve and turn it upward, and how it has been climbing higher and higher SINCE 2010, and no noticeable change in the curve between 2010 and 2020 until 2020 and the spike down?
So, yes, Obama inherited a mess, Trump didn't, and Trump is swiping progress from Obama.
I could post a lot more of these charts, but you can go and see for yourself.

Frankly, not even Bush managed to mess up the economy as badly as Trump.
Seriously, when the economy was "formerly wonderful" during Clinton's Presidency, and it was spoiled during Bush's Presidency, why would anyone think another Republican President could return it to it's former glory?
And we have had four years of proof that he can't. Obama did better.
EVERY AVAILABLE FACT PROVES THAT.
BTW, I am aware of that a lot of my sources and links are to left leaning sources, but if you wish to contest the verity of the information, prove it's false. And link to right leaning sources is not proof.
I am willing to provide the original, neutral sources to any information you question, and do the verification for you, if you don't know how to do that, and I have no problems in admitting I'm wrong, if I am, and retract the false information and publish the correct one.
I also don't expect you to do the same. I have absolutely no what so ever expectations of any decency and fairness from your side.
