For John, BLUF: While I think the lawyers for President Trumpk still have a shot, it is OK to hold two views in one's mind, one being a Biden win. Preparing for the worst. Nothing to see here; just move along.
From The New York Post, by The Post Editorial Board, 14 November 2020.
Here is the lede plus two:
Will Joe Biden throw President Trump’s Middle East achievements in the dirt, betraying a host of US allies to fecklessly chase after the goodwill of the Iranian regime? If not, he needs to choose carefully as he names his Cabinet and White House staff.A shift to a new line on Middle East peace by a new Biden Administration would be a major peace setback. It would be worse if a new Biden Administration shifted back to a futile attempt to placate the Ayatollahs in Iran.For starters, many retreads from Team Obama will want to bribe Tehran back into that dangerous nuclear deal — a slap in the face to Israel and most Arab states.
They’ll also push for a return to anti-Israel policies such as funding the Palestinian Authority even as it pays off terrorists and their families, and to allowing anti-Israel UN resolutions to pass.
One can hope that Candidate Joe Biden's previous clse relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Bibbi Netanyahu will be the cement that holds together the Abraham Accords.
Good luck to us.
