This is clearly not your father’s Repubican convention!
Exactly! 👍😎
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 - and even that’s a stretch since Cherone was never unable to sing coherently… work with me. 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…”
That was then.
In 2024, America isn’t voting for competency. We are voting for the Frontman of America. And maybe that’s ok - maybe we NEED a Frontman more than a vocalist right now.
In this contest, 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.
And after the debate, people REALLY want Dave back in the WH. Further, the people who thought Cherone was good in VH are now gaslighting the world and saying they had no idea he wasn’t a frontman like Dave.
Trump will win the Diamond Dave vote, which will be drawn to a guy who just took a bullet. Bidet will get the increasingly shrinking Gary Cherone vote (and again, Cherone is awesome with Extreme; Bidet was never awesome, but work with me).
Ultimately, regardless of who gets into the WH, never forget….the American People are Eddie, Michael, and Alex-a monster band that is invariant to the guy in the singer slot. WE run the nation.
