But it is soon to be closed I think, no?

I hear Obama is working on it. He promised he would close it. I hear he even signed an executive order. But if he can't do it, I'm sure Biden can. One of the Democrat presidents since Bush opened it 25 years ago ought to be able to do it, for sure. Like what are the odds that in 25 years no president who said they would close Guantanamo bay would be able to do it ?

I know the democratic party has shown a huge amount of incompetence by losing to Trump. Twice. But no way they would let that slide for 25 years, right?

You need to elect 20 years straight of Democrat before they can do it. By not electing Hillary in 2016 the counter has been reset and it is all the voters fault.
