‘Trump’s Going to Get Re-elected, Isn’t He?’
The New York Times ^ | June 16, 2019 | Thomas L. Friedman

Posted on 07/17/2019 9:27:09 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

I’m struck at how many people have come up to me recently and said, “Trump’s going to get re-elected, isn’t he?” And in each case, when I drilled down to ask why, I bumped into the Democratic presidential debates in June. I think a lot of Americans were shocked by some of the things they heard there. I was.

Need a very strong, very tough successor.

Can’t have another GHWB, squandering the Reagan Revolution.

Unfortunately, that’s my impression of Pence (the natural successor) - not to suggest that I think he’d be as bad as Bush (nothing is, except ANOTHER Bush), but he’s a political animal and I just don’t trust him.

There will NEVER be another Trump, but at least SOME of his love of the country and fearlessness in fighting the evil left MUST be evident in whatever candidate runs on our side down the line.

Hell, my preference is that Trump starts his own party at some point, we all shift over there, and let the GOP wither and die (as a party), just like the RATS. They’ve generally proved themselves to be almost completely worthless in supporting our President.

I hope Pence will still be electable in 2024.
The rate at which this country is becoming socially liberal gives me pause on that.

Just wait until they hear more of the radical socialist policies from the Whackjob Squad. If someone were smart they would somehow elevate the visibility of the squad to really shock and scare people......

I wasn’t surprised to hear so many people expressing fear that the racist, divisive, climate-change-denying, woman-abusing jerk who is our president....

I love reading a man who sees facts so clearly, but editorial concision would reduce that to "the Orange Orangutan..."

"But please, spare me the revolution! It can wait." So the author still wants "the revolution", he just wants to wait until after the election, and until after the Democrats have fooled the votes. *************************************************** "But please, spare me the revolution! It can wait. Win the presidency, hold the House and narrow the spread in the Senate, and a lot of good things still can be accomplished."

I added to your quote above. That's really scary.

They don’t want equality, they want to punish whites, heterosexuals, Christians, and men.

Friedman didn't mention candidates and a moderator shamelessly speaking Spanish.

Who are Democrats trying to appeal to for votes by speaking Spanish?

Do they believe illegal aliens are going to cast votes for them?

Want to bet there’s not a body-double out there? (yes, there can be more than 1 of her, and that’s the stuff of nightmares!). That has been inferred with RBG, and have no doubt the left wouldn’t stoop so low as to put in a double if they thought they could pull it off. Just look at Obummer and you know weird has no limits...

Let us pray, hard, that he is correct.

And why shouldn’t be? What are you afraid of, liberals? as you are so very fond of asking us.
