Ping to Jim Robinson’s excellent editorial about the elections !
Thanks for the ping. I read JimRob’s excellent article earlier. It’s one of the best things he’s written in a long time. The man’s still got it, doesn’t he?
Thank you. At this point my political ambitions are modest: to keep a dynasty out of the White House. Too bad that America will probably get stuck with Imperial family sooner or later, judging by what happened to Rome.
Both would be fine with me
Thanks AW!
Thanks, Albion Wilde!
The GOPe and Democrats are the real enemy.
Personally, I gave up on the Republican party long ago when they ran Dole against Clinton.
Given all they've become since Reagan left the building, I can't claim membership with them anymore.
Otoh, there aren't any other viable options for voters, so I register as an Independent and usually vote an R ticket.
At this critical time, a "do or die" time, I see US has having a choice between some governors, a bunch of Senators, a successful surgeon, an ex-tech exec who was beaten by Barbara Boxer in her only political run and a successful entrepreneur who has amassed a fortune creating value, most notably by rehabbing and developing real estate.
Of those Senators, one is a Clinton, one is an old socialist, two are anchor babies, one US, one Canadian, and the rest are dropping out.
When I say it is "do or die" for US, it's because I really don't believe we have any more time or options left to avoid the consequences that we, the people, were made to sign for.
Those bills are coming and Trump, on paper, is by far the best bad option we have to survive the first wave of what we've done to ourselves.
I suspect an older Churchill-esque character/leader with a lot of experience is the best bet for what we will face and Trump, on paper, is the only one of those in the race.
Trump's forte, and current challenge, is moving ideas from on paper into reality.
Can he do that now with himself to become President Trump or will "The Donald" self-detonate and then Trump, on paper, burns up, burns out and fades away right before our very eyes?
I really don't know at this point, so I'm merely an observer watching the show while hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.
There is a bigger reality that we are to fit ourselves to, but we keep choosing our own way instead of following the instructions we inherited.
It is not necessary to send me a ping on something that
I read 2 days ago, before you sent the ping.
So do not ping me again.
I read it today at work but could not reply.
I agree it was an excellent post by Jim about the elections.
However, I must say I have not read a post by Jim that I did not fully agree with him.(smile) seriously!
God Bless him and his family.
I thank him from the bottom of my heart for this forum. An FR friend told me about this forum many years ago, I have loved it from day one. My favorite place to go to read and learn.
Thank you Jim
