Great post Andy.

And to those who share a negative view of the future, I will point out that President Trump pledged his ‘Life, his Fortunes, and his sacred Honor’ to run for a thankless position where he is incessantly attacked by the Democrats and media.

He could have instead stayed home, played golf and enjoy his grandchildren and wife. Instead he jumped into the fray and a world in which people get beaten up for wearing a MAGA cap.

Thanks. I am getting a bit tired of the crowd that says well we'll accept Trump for the time being until someone better comes along. You want better? Better in what way? You want someone who never made a bad choice - well what you get is someone who never made a choice at all, e.g. Jeb!. You want a businessman who never made a sharp deal, never had an argument with the IRS. Well you will get someone who never made a deal at all and never made his own money, e.g. Jeb!. The strategy of the Marines is not to win fair fights. It's to deny the other guy the field on which to have a fair fight.

Trump is the best it gets. Flawed? Sure. So are we all. So what? He does stuff. Ever see Jeb! do stuff?

Twice divorced? Are his ex's unhappy? Are they destitute? Have his children's lives been ruined?

We need not speculate on Jeb!s chances in a general election because it's counterfactual speculation. Even without Trump the man-I use the term in the sense of a male gendered member of the species-hadn't a chance.
