Dismissing experts in the field of disease and science so he can make a gut call.... Are you truly ready to hang your hat on this current administration? My eye is on the prize. I am going to vote against what the current administration has presented, which more closely resembles a nationalist dictatorship.

"More closely resembles a nationalist dictatorship" and "in no way represents anything resembling the constitutional form intended by the founders."????
The Founders were very nationalistic. They were very America First. They were very for immigration based on our economic, cultural, and technological need, not on open borders.
Trump has removed scads of regulations written by federal agencies (which had no constitutional grounds to exist in the first place), that were hampering our economic growth. The Founders were very against federal regulatory power outside of constitutional limitations and very much for the freedom of Americans to do business without the central government regulating its every move.
The Founders were very much for tariffs against foreign businesses that threatened the survival of American business.
Trump has nominated judges who are far more constitutionally oriented than those any Progressive would choose.
Would a Biden administration, or any Progressive administration for that matter, "more closely resemble" the Founders constitutional form of government than the Trump administration?
I get it that Trump, as a person, at least as he is portrayed and which many of his statements can be twisted to bolster that portrayal, is unacceptable to you. But being acceptable as a person, is not the same as being acceptable as a President who "more closely" will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.
I don't know on what grounds you think he less resembles a protector of the Constitution than Clinton, Obama, or Biden did or would.
Just the choice of Judges alone would be enough to make him more closely resemble a protector of the Constitution than any Progressive would be. If you do a thorough study of American Progressive political ideology, you will find that the Progressive premise of good government is that it not be hampered by silly things such as separation of powers. That, in order to efficiently mandate what is good, it must be centralized in one supreme authority of experts. Constitution be damned. Progressives invented the notion of a living constitution that changes, not by amendment, but merely when the ruling elite decides it has become outmoded. Progressives have, as one of FDR's "braintrust" advisors admitted, tortured and twisted the Constitution out of any original meaning in order to pass legislation needed to advance their centralizing form of unhampered government which very importantly included the creation of various regulatory agencies which the Constitution did not actually give them the power to do.
So, through Progressive disregard of constitutional limitations, we have arrived incrementally at a point where one election can enable Progressives to remove their mask and just openly begin to fill their wish list, as well as continue to create new wishes. One election can turn the court into the Progressive yes man against any challenges to what a Progressive administration desires.
You didn't answer when I asked you what does your conscience tell you about which party will protect your signature quote “Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them with arms.” – James Madison.
All it takes is a majority of Progressive Judges in SCOTUS to abolish the Second Amendment. Or any other Amendment or "unalienable right." Progressives don't believe there are such things as unalienable rights. They believe all rights are created by government and can be taken away or restricted by government.
The election is not about the person Trump. Voting for Biden because he, in your opinion, is a better person, can very well be voting against what you prize most in your form of government.
