Should it be Trump or DeSantis in 2024?
American Thinker ^ | November 29, 2022 | Edward Mike

Should it be Trump or DeSantis in 2024?  The answer lies in these four words: Form Always Follows Function.  For example, if you’re shopping for a new vehicle, you must consider where the vehicle will typically be driven and for what purpose.  If you would buy a new rifle, you must consider what you plan to shoot with it.  The form must be matched to serve the function.

A classy Corvette wouldn’t be a good choice in the northern mountains.  Given the likelihood of blizzards and rocky back roads, a four-wheel-drive pickup will suit you better. Sure, they aren’t as classy looking and don’t get good mileage, but they are many times over more likely to get you where you need to go.

In a story about elephant hunting, the hunter reported that the tracks he followed were two feet wide.  Think of a large tree, two feet in diameter, thumping down every elephant step! That trusty deer rifle wouldn’t do if you’re planning to hunt elephants.  Elephant-hunting merits the biggest caliber you can find.  Sure, that ammunition is very expensive, and your shoulder will remember the kick.  But an elephant at 30 feet dictates a powerful gun.  Form always follows function.

Apply those two examples to managing a functional society.  What do we mean by a functioning society?  Instinctively, we know what that implies for us.  It works smoothly and allows every individual citizen to pursue his happiness.  These values are expressed in our Declaration of Independence (the sacredness of individual lives and the liberty that allows everyone to fulfill their potential), and the Bill of Rights in the Constitution (matching the laws of nature and of nature’s creator).  A functional society rests on the individual family unit, which is the cornerstone and model of society.  Individuals contribute responsibly what they

Don’t assume that. Romney is a bum. But Trump has a political tin ear now. He imagines he can say or do anything without losing ground among independent voters. I lost my faith when he teased his candidacy announcement the day before the election. I’m guessing this cost us the Senate and maybe the AZ governorship. But what clinched my opposition was him failing to ask “whiz’s this Fuentes guy?” before having lunch wit a frigging bigot.

Trump is damaged. He can ride no farther. He should fade back for a few weeks then announce he’s no longer a candidate.

So you are a Globalist and an Establishment GOP Member, right?

DeSantis is not running in ‘24. He never intended to.

This is like if the NFL changed the rules where sacking the opposing teams quarter back would get you 4 points. But our team doesn’t like the rule change and states we would never sack the opposing team’s quarter back because we want to win football games with field goals, touch downs and safetys as God intended.

This is beautiful. I'm stealing it!

Apparently there were red districts in Georgia that weren't allowing early voting on Saturday because, "It's wrong and we're suing to prevent it."

The blue counties, meanwhile, went right ahead and collected early votes on Saturday for Warnock!

they've the sense to steer the dozier to proper destination.

Who can save this country then?

As much as I like DeSantis, he ain’t it. His blood is turning more RINO everyday and is afraid to fight. He is staying in his Governor lane (avoiding voter fraud, Biden’s Dementia, Hunter Biden, Coup Attempts by Intel/FBI, Corrupt DOJ, Jan 6 prisoners, the list goes on about what he won’t speak the truth to) to avoid any of the real pressing controversial issues that are and will destroy this country. He cares more about appeasing the media and vote totals than the country.

We need someone unafraid.
