Incredibly, the NYT's article thought it would be wise to advise the public to compare Harris and Trump directly in order to prove which is the 'Only Patriotic Choice'. I did as they asked.</p>
<p>
In case anyone else wants to share the table with their own responses typed in, I'll put the HTML code in post #1. Just search and replace my text answers shown in bold font in post #1 with your own.</p>
