I knew very little about Trump back in 2015 except that he was a real estate guy in New York/New Jersey, had funny hair, made and lost a lot of money, and had once been the star of a television show (which I had never seen) where the famous phrase “You’re Fired!” became a cultural touchstone.

I knew nothing about Trump, and at that time, thought I would support Cruz.

But once he began making serious inroads in the primaries, I began investigating what Trump was all about, and when I came across his 1987 interview with Larry King, I decided I could enthusiastically support him.

His real anger in that interview, about the way the Arab countries (and others) treated the USA like schmucks that could be taken advantage of and snickered at behind their backs because of the rules we forced our corporations to follow convinced me he wasn’t just a guy with funny hair.

He had real anger issues with the way trade was done, and I thought he might be just the person to do something about it.

Trump is Trump and ya gotta love him. But if he gets 4 more years, we need staff and a Cabinet that isn’t full of flunkies that get replaced every few months. We need administrative WINS. And yes, we got them last time - Roe was overturned -but Trump left a lot on the table.

Hence, I was willing to consider DeSantis - he is a great governor and gets stuff done.

But being a star in AAA ball isn’t the same as the Majors. Candidate DeSantis kept stepping in it and never really connected. And those were unforced errors on DeSantis’ part. He needs more time in the minors (and yes…I know Florida isn’t Montana).

I do NOT think he’s a Soros puppet, a Deep State plant, or the Boogeyman. But he is not ready for Prime Time. And THAT is why we have primaries.
