    Time? What time do you think we have? The hour is later than you think. Trump’s forces are already moving. The Nine have left Mar-a-Lago. They crossed the River Delaware on Midsummer’s Eve, disguised as lobbyists in black.

      Primary ain’t over, we haven’t even met Tom Bombadil yet…

      Gandalf didn’t grab the first person under 5foot he saw, he picked a young fool of a Took who had the heart, courage, and willingness to keep marching against impossible odds.

      Even he recognized Bilbo was too old and corrupted by power to make the journey.

        Frodo and Sam made it to Mount Doom because they moved in secret and carried the one thing that could kill Trump, I mean Sauron, without direct confrontation. Like it or not, in this analogy, Biden is our Aragorn. Come to think of it, they are about the same age! If there is a Frodo secretly making his way to Mount Doom with Putin’s kompromat, I mean the One Ring, we don’t know about it yet.

          If Biden is anyone, he’s Bilbo.

          The difference is we didn’t have a Gandalf to wrest the ring away. So Bilbo keeps putting off the journey and spends all his time telling people no one else can carry the burden and about all his past adventures.

          Dude’s never left the Prancing Pony

          I get it man, you didn’t expect the analogy to fit so well, but it does.

            You’re only comparing Biden to Bilbo because they both look old. That’s shallow. If Trump is Sauron in the analogy, which is how I set it up, then Biden is at least as strong and important as Aragorn. More so, really.
