Is DeSantis outright condemning the vaccine? Don’t think Noem has a great following amongst conservatives.

Trump is still my first choice. DeSantis 2nd. Cruz, don’t know. Trump is by far the best and most aggressive candidate. And I like almost everything he did as president. I even prayed daily that he could get that vaccine out in time before the election. Not going to turn against him now.

Donald Trump is as free as I am to take or not take the shots. It is a chance in either direction and a personal choice for those who are weighing the odds according to their own knowledge of their own bodies. I also do not care politically what he is doing or not doing as I know nothing about his motivation. I do know that Trump is doing whatever he can to preserve our Republic and will continue to support and pray for him to succeed. Why anybody chooses to part with him over the covid mess is a reflection on them and not Trump. I see purpose and determination and long range planning, and a vast strength of will to save the American people and our Republic. I am not given to thinking I know everything about his decisions, and frankly am not buying the current displeasure of some conservatives with Trump and his vac statements. They have other issues as well, and this I know for sure from many years of experiences with having something thrown out as a grievance to advance some other issue that is eating them. God bless Pres Trump and this Republic.

“Is DeSantis outright condemning the vaccine?”

No, DeSantis is not condemning the vaccines (to my knowledge), but his actions have been to focus on treatments and to stay away from the lunacy of lockdowns and masks.

I don’t believe any viable candidate can condemn the vaccines — even if they are a disaster. But they sure don’t have to double down on vaccines.

I voted for Trump and may do so again but today he is not my first choice. I actually don’t have a first choice. As I said, it is way too early.

Trump was certainly the right person for the time. He accomplished many good things but he missed a few “putts,” too. While I appreciate his aggressiveness he needs to make it less about him and more about the country. And, he definitely needs to stay off of Twitter. That is like throwing gasoline on a fire.

I was around when Regan was first elected and in my mind, he was the best president of my lifetime. He didn’t hit long balls all the time, but he did not constantly stir the pot. And even though the media came after him he did a good job of deflection. I know we can’t go back, but if we had a candidate with Regan’s qualities I would vote for him or her in a nanosecond.

Again, it’s way too early for me to make a decision. But I’m open to a few different ideas that will get us out of the mess we are in and barreling toward. I’m praying for this country — ‘cause we sure need it!

I hope He answers our prayers but you know He sure walloped Israel a few times. I hope we (our country) have learned and it is not too late.

“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Don’t you agree we need healing pretty bad?
