Something tells me this could really work out well for us. Trump guts the deep state like gangbusters and Carson comes along in ‘28 like Sheriff Andy Griffith settling things down. He’s calm-everything’s gonna be alright.
In the meantime the democrats are all acting like Don Knotts.
Personally, I believe Carson would be a great pick.
Unfortunately, the voters disagree with me.
I’ll repeat myself…There is a basic reality in terms of the Presidential candidacy.
Over the years, The Presidency went from a job where the nation wanted a guy who had ideas and leadership qualities, to sort of like the slot for lead singer in Van Halen.
You can have a killer frontman like David Lee Roth, who excites and slays live and propels the band creatively, but who is a trainwreck in terms of everything else.
You can get Sammy Hagar, who is ultra competent but not terribly motivating and not your primary pick for frontman.
Then there is Gary Cherone, who is great in Extreme but lost in VH.
Trump is Diamond Dave. Bidet is Cherone. DeSantis is Sammy.
Personally, I would rather we get a Sammy president. DeSantis was Sammy, but he sort of flopped once he moved out of 2,000-seat venues to Madison Square Garden.
Reagan was Sammy, with a touch of DLR like when he joked about bombing the Soviets and “there you go again…”
As Archie and Edith sang, those were the days.
In 2024, the nation and populism want Diamond Dave. And Dave is unifying people like nobody-look at the rappers with Trump in The Bronx. It’s stunning.
America isn’t voting for competency anymore. We are voting for the Frontman of America.
And that’s ok - maybe we NEED a Frontman more than a vocalist right now.
But we need to be honest with ourselves. Trump is a train wreck in terms of personnel choices, and he can get carried away with social media. True, we got solid SCOTUS picks and abortion overturned, a cranking economy, and no wars. But after Eat ‘Em & Smile, Dave jumped the shark.
And Trump will win the Diamond Dave vote, which will be drawn to a guy who just lost a case. Bidet will get the Gary Cherone vote (and again, Cherone is awesome with Extreme).
As for Veep, it’s the same deal…we want a red meat Frontman or Frontwoman. Not a policy wonk, a nice guy like Carson, etc.
Elise Stefanik has two Ivy League scalps. RINO? That’s what they said about Trump in 2015. She has blood dripping from her mouth.
That is why as qualified as the other Veep candidates may be, and as much as I’d personally love to see Carson on the ticket, Elise Lee Roth is what will garner votes.
And perhaps Elise is Wolfgang, and can let us get two tours with Eddie and Roth before the band terminates.
Make her VP, Trump wins, and she clobbers whatever jack wagon the Dems put up in 2028, like Kamala or some other Cherone.
Parenthetically, the American People are Eddie, Michael, and Alex-a monster band that is invariant to the guy in the singer slot. We Americans always rock.
Andy Griffith was a lousy drunk and a womanizer... Looks can be deceiving.
