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.
America isn’t voting for competency anymore. We are voting for the Lead Singer of America.
Parenthetically, the American People are Eddie, Michael, and Alex-a monster band that is invariant to the guy in the singer slot.
And Trump will win the Diamond Dave vote, which will be drawn to a guy who just lost a case. Bidet will now get the Gary Cherone vote.
As for Veep, it’s the same deal…we want a red meat Frontman or Frontwoman. Not a policy wonk, etc.
Stefanik has two Ivy League scalps. RINO? That’s what they said about Trump in 2015.
Make her VP, Trump wins, and she clobbers whatever jack wagon the Dems put up in 2028, like Kamala or some other loser.
Good analogy.
I won't vote for her to be one breath away from the Presidency. Same thing with Rubio, Tim Scott, and at this point Burgum, because I don't know enough about him.
As I suspected, and just confirmed, all of those Congressional members mentioned in this article voted to keep FISA intact, except for Burgum because he’s Governor of North Dakota.
I wouldn’t trust Stefanik as far as I could throw her. I’ve watched her votes, which is the only reason I call her a rino. She voted to fund the Ukraine war, she voted to keep illegal surveillance on Americans, she voted to keep the CRs going.....she’ll do a lot of grandstanding when needed, but her voting record is not MAGA.
See post #49. This time around, the VP pick is crucial. Someone who can step into the #1 slot if required, and can learn the ropes from President Trump and be ready for 2028. The only one who seems to understand the Constitution inside out, and who revels in going after the Deep State is Vivek.
