Most people think that they get to pick the nominee. The only reason Trump won was because of his own money and the party was scared that if they rejected him and gave it to someone else the Party would be over. It was better to destroy him from the inside. They started on day one with sessions and Flynn.
Dead wrong. If they rejected him it would be Ross Perot, and everyone knew it. Trump would have done the same thing, and a blind man on a flying horse could see it.
"They" thought he could be controlled, after all before he dipped his hat into politics he was best buds with most of them. Politicians love guys with money, add a little public presence and it is a double good thing to be seen with him.
The mistake that happened was he won, they believed their own polls. If you voted in the election where trump won, you voted in likely the last "free and fair" election in this country, AZ has told us volumes on that. Kari Lake and Katie Hobbs showed us just what they can do in this country, and that we just don't matter anymore.
Personally I despise the "vote harder" people, DISPISE. Just what do you suggest, pick up a gun, that is the only other thing. Personally I have been shot at and I did not like it very much, just a tad scary. There has to be another option, I am just not smart enough to know what it is. But I can say I will need to be backed into a corner before the day comes I feel the need to go that far. I doubt I will live long enough to see the end of the road, old and very broken down, but things like in OR, and some rumblings in TX are interesting, what will happen if half a state says nope we are done, see ya. And yea I know there are lots of things standing in the way including the Fed, but it is interesting it has gone this far. What will happen, we have only been that way once before and it was a very big mess. No sane person wants that again. And if you think the rest of the world will sit it out while we "figure it out ourselves" you could not be more wrong. I commented on Rhodesia in another post somewhere, it will be just like that, the entire world will be on the other side and you will loose.
Now with all that babble, this guy. I don't know enough about him to have a view yet. I like what he says but words are very cheap. Trump is no spring chicken, he is knocking on 80 himself if not there already. I would love to seem him say, this is my guy. But I don't think that is in his personality.
Lots of words to say, I will watch this guy and slowly make a decision. As of now, your words are nice.
