Many of the fervent Trump supporters act as if this court thing will evaporate in time for elections (only from reading comments and some private discussion I have had). I am certain for the primary the oppression against Trump will help solidify his position as the candidate. My assertion is that I don’t see anyone considering if he is in prison how that impacts the electorate in a general election. That doesn’t touch election fraud.
My thoughts on the candidates; DeSantis is the only one I think can perform at a level Trump demonstrated his first two years in office. The others I don’t trust at all.
I believe Trump knew where to push on the corruption and when he started to the machine rolled over him. The Art of the Deal will not get him through that machine - he knew how to leverage American economic power and military power in the proper places and times. The fight at home was more intense than he expected and he hired poorly - even the replacements he hired were done poorly. The results speak for themselves. I do count DeSantis as one to reform the administrative state - to say he doesn’t count as governor is not a disqualifying status. DeSantis is one of the founding members of the Freedom Caucus. I think Josh Hawley, Chip Roy, and Rand Paul in that same vein. There is this also; April 2018, Trump described three caucus members – Meadows, Jim Jordan, and Ron DeSantis – as “absolute warriors” for their defense of him during the course of the Special Counsel investigation (Politico 5/23/2018)
His handling of COVID was an example of his unwillingness to stand against conventional wisdom or ultimate corruption of Big Pharma. He gave a medal to Fauci on his last day in office. Within one week of 1/06/21 there were over 1,000 arrest warrants that were made public. Either he was slow to recognize what was happening or he continues to trust the wrong people. There are a lot of questions to address about COVID - what would he do different? From interviews it sounds like nothing - strange for a germophobe. There are also the people he placed around him - that is where I found Kash Patel’s comments enlightening. Trump got used and abused by the professional political and administrative generation - would he have someone or someones to help him with that fight?
I am not offended by Trump’s behavior; my brother runs a construction company and he put it best - he talks like a construction worker from New York. I have no problem with that. It is the vehemently applied vitriol against people that determine someone else may be a better option - just play the name game on them and you win! Trump’s behavior toward people when he perceives he is being slighted I take as immature - he won’t address the differences. Fine, that is why we are now online trying to get the space to spell out the differences.
Finally, along the lines of Trump decision-making, unless it is a big thing or simple to define that action he won’t participate. Picking a running mate - today I hear they are considering Nikki Haley. How does that fit? I guess it won’t count since she is the vice-president - I think Mike Pence could have something to say about that.
Appreciate your response and sorry this is so long.
It won’t be Nikki Haley. As for your assessment of him you sell him too short. Sorry he’s not perfect but nobody is. Watch his town hall from last night on Fox News from Iowa. When compared with other options I will take him any day of the week and twice on Sundays...
