In an effort of full disclosure, during the 2016 presidential primary season I supported of Ted Cruz while the wife was a very enthusiastic supporter of then candidate Donald Trump. Don’t get me wrong, I liked most all of what Trump was saying but, in the beginning, I saw him as someone who had very little chance of actually winning. But, as the campaign progressed, candidates started dropping out while Trump remained. By the end it came down to Cruz, my guy, and Trump, my wife’s guy until Cruz finally threw in the towel. And so, since there was no way in Hell that I was going to vote for Hitlery, I voted for Trump. The one vote in my life that I have never regretted casting.
And I voted for President Trump again in 2020 and am
also one of the millions of Americans who feel that that election was clearly
stolen from him. And also, I am one his still millions of supports who fully
intend on voting for him in 2024 because I genuinely believe that he his only
candidate running, or even rumored to be about to run, that has any chance of
repairing the damage done over the course of the last 30 months and saving this
country from its Democrat inspired early demise. It has absolutely nothing to
do with Making America Great Again, it has everything to do with keeping
America from dying, which seems to be the clear intent of Democrats!
And apparently, I am far from being alone in my
opinion, because it’s according to a recent poll that a majority of Republicans
also appear to believe that President Trump has a better chance to win the 2024
general election than does my current governor Ron DeSantis. The survey asked
respondents, “Which of these two Republicans do you think has the best chance
of winning the 2024 general election for president,” giving them the option of
Trump or DeSantis. Fifty nine percent of Republicans who said that President Trump
has the best chance of winning the presidential election, while 27 percent
believe DeSantis has the best chance and 13 percent who remain unsure.
And a plurality of independents, 34 percent, also
believe President Trump has the best chance, while 23 percent said DeSantis. A plurality
of independents, 43 percent, remain unsure. But I gotta be honest, I still
cannot figure out how any reasonably intelligent individual, after watching all
that has been made to transpire over the course of the last 30 months can still
be so unsure about who is needed to fix it, be it President Trump or someone
else. It’s absolutely ridiculous! Notably, it was 35 precent of Democrats who believe
DeSantis has a better chance than Trump, compared to 27 percent who believe
Trump has the better chance. And 38 percent remain unsure.
President Trump had many accomplished despite having
to work with a very hostile Congress even when his own party was in charge.
Under President Trump America gained 7 million new jobs – more than three times
government experts’ projections. Middle-Class family income increased nearly
$6,000 – more than five times the gains during the entire previous
administration. The unemployment rate reached 3.5 percent, the lowest in a
half-century. The number of people claiming unemployment insurance as a share
of the population hit its lowest on record. Incomes rose in every single metro
area in the United States for the first time in nearly 3 decades.
Much has been talked about Gov. DeSantis’s many
accomplishments here in Florida, but DeSantis has had the luxury of working
with a legislative body in which his party has a super majority in both houses.
I simply do not believe that he would be able to accomplish much or even make
much progress on what he claims to want to do when faced with having to work in
what would clearly be a very adversarial environment. Donald Trump has already
won the presidency twice. Joey is illegally squatting in the White House due to
massive voter fraud. This has been shown to be true over and over again and yet
he has been allowed to wreak all manner of havoc on this country.
This country is now in need
of some major reconstruction. This requires some demolition, and the right tool
for that demolition is President Trump. Don’t get me wrong, DeSantis has done
many great things here in Florida, and I voted for him twice. Personally, my
dream ticket is a Trump/DeSantis ticket, but I’m afraid DeSantis now has an ego
that would never allow him to play second fiddle. Which is something I find
both rather sad, and rather frustrating. Because if he really loved this
country as much as he claims to, he would set the ego aside and join forces
with President Trump and position himself to take the baton in 2028. But the
ego is simply too big.
