My problem with Trump isn’t with baggage from the past, but more about who he is as a trustworthy steward of conservatism, for which he is horrible:

1. Has become a activist for the left, on issues important to true conservatives like big government spending, gay marriage, and the lockdowns/free rent/mRNA injections.

2. Makes a bunch of empty promises on the issues he is willing to support conservatives on, like Lock Her Up, make Mexico pay for the wall, securing elections, and draining the swamp which he only grows.

So he either stabs us in the chest with his liberal positions, or stabs us in the back on conservative ones. It’s who he IS, nothing to do with baggage.

Anyone think 80 yo Biden will run again? Given his avoidance of press conferences now, hard to believe his obvious dementia won’t become a huge issue preventing his beating any R except a 78 yo Trump. Both are way too old imo. Ronald Reagan was 77 at the end of his second term.

He was a great president for three years. Then he threw it all away.

McCarthy should have gotten some advice from Trump instead of being excited about accomplishing nothing. His only accomplishment is the IRS turning loose 87000 armed IRS agent upon the American people. They will turn out to be armed police Gestapo. Kiss your American freedoms goodbye tax payers as you will conform or broken.

He was the ONLY ONE who ran the country correctly in my 82 years of hanging around here. Reagon was great, but not the greatest. Maybe it takes “baggage” to get it right? I could give a flip to what he does in his personal life, he has a proven track record of running a country correctly!

Still 3.2% short of a majority. How does he plan to get there?

How:

Act and BEHAVE (talk smart, write smart) as if already in office.

Set up a structural model of the government. Have that under the charge of a Chief of Staff for Administration of Departments. Build a list of people [candidates] to lead and manage for each department.

Build the ship of state, ready to launch.

I feel both humbled by and unworthy of your comment.

But objectively speaking, we’re probably all potential masters of the truth, but some people just don’t open their eyes and ears.
