I am old enough I have solid
memories of the JFK-Richard Nixon contest in 1960. I remember it was,
IMHO, decided by a relative triviality. JFK looked good in a blue suit
and had professional makeup. Richard Nixon needed a shave, looked like
shit in a brown suit and had the general appearance of a second-rate
used car salesman. People who listened to the debate on the radio
thought Nixon won. People who saw the debate on the TV thought JFK
won. Presentation matters to voters.
It
seems that every second or third presidential election is billed as
monumental with an outcome that will define the country for the next
decade.
This one almost certainly WILL actually be one such election.
This one almost certainly WILL actually be one such election.
Donald
Trump has been President once already. He did NOT try to put Black
people back into slavery. He did NOT set up concentration camps. He
did NOT attempt to imprison his political opponents (and a real careful
IRS investigation of the Clinton Foundation might have done just that).
He sent mean tweets. He also appointed some very solid strict
constructionists justices to the Supreme Court and backed his nominees
when things got fractious. He might not be a good man, but he was at
least a good and maybe a very good President.
Kamala
Harris is a hard-core liberal. She backed defunding the police. She
PERSONALLY raised money to get arsonists out of jail. She is at a
minimum a useful idiot for Iran and Hamas and is very likely a serious
anti-Semite. She has been a huge proponent for CA. Proposition 47,
which essentially legalized theft in CA. She has no problem with this
country being overrun by illegal aliens and seems more interested in
giving them government sponsored programs, such as taxpayer funded
health care, and in getting them legalized so they can vote than in
defending our borders and enforcing our laws.
There was no way in hell that Joe Biden was going to beat Donald Trump.
I
am not sure Kamala can win, but Trump could still lose. I hope he can
manage to tamp down his natural combativeness and fight SMART rather
than reactive. Kamala does have a record even though the mainstream
media is trying hard to ignore and bury it. It is out there. Attack
her record. Everybody knows she is a DEI hire. No need to hammer it
into the ground. Joe Biden said up front that he was going to put a
"woman of color" on the ticket. That was his FIRST minimum
qualification for the job. Competence had nothing to do with it. Skin
color and anatomy had everything to do with it.
This
election, like virtually every other, will be fought in the middle.
There is roughly 10-12% of the voters (some of who are actual live
citizens) out there that are genuinely persuadable. You need to get out
your base (which the Democrat-Socialists are very good at) and try to
bring those people in the middle along with you.
Kamala has 100 days to show how much of an idiot she truly is. That means Trump also has 100 days to step on his dick.
I
would declare the first Trump presidency a win for the country if for
no other reason his Supreme Court appointments. They truly will make a
difference for decades. The next administration, whatever it is, will
likely have the chance to make one or two Supreme Court appointments.
Who would you rather have making those appointments?
Elections
are decided by those who show up. Get your ass out and vote. Unless
you are a Democrat-Socialists. Then you can stay home and smoke pot and
watch The View for the next 100 days. You have my permission.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Your best post to date. Let's hope Trump doesn't step on his dick.
