Without fixing the election integrity holes, it doesn't matter who's running in 2024 - the Ds will "win".

I cannot trust any media, really, so I cannot trust the push to vote forTrump either. All I can go on is that under Trump, things held more steady than prev. or after. Any port in a storm? I am old enough to believe I should still vote, but many seem to be encouraging me not to vote at all. It's interesting.

At this moment (fixed in time), Joe could be carried from event to event and he could be re-elected if he continues to refuse to answer questions or to address Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine, the economy, or the Biden Crime Syndicate's obvious role in supporting the government of China and enhancing its military advantage over the USA.

But that doesn't take into account the growing awareness of the Hunter Biden cases and #FJB's obvious inability to understand what is going on around him. The Dems want to dump him and he could easily be Arkancided today.

All it would take would be if some forward-thinking engineer simply replaced the steps to AirForce I with a fast-moving escalator. The Dim One would be gravy at the bottom in fifteen seconds.

Vivek Ramaswamy is running for president. He has some thoughts/ideas that he wants to get some attention. He might have some influence that can help course correct. Future leaders have to come from somewhere.

What does it mean to be an American in 2023?

I always feel a little nervy if disagreeing with you, but I do disagree on Trump's "only real failings."

His fatal failing is that terminal immaturity that always breaks through. He beats the cliche about being one's own worst enemy so far into the ground that it ought to make a permanent scar on the landscape.

He's a weak man. Some of his policies, I concede, were good ones. All of his appointments were abysmal ones. He didn't have the courage to trust his own personality to win the 2016 election; he was persuaded to pick a moron like Pence as a running mate, and then went downhill with every subsequent choice.

I loathe him for many reasons, but I didn't vote against him (I voted for "none of the above"), and I felt overwhelming relief, that Wednesday morning, that Hillary had lost.

I won't be voting in 2024. Except for my affirmative "none of the above" vote in 2016, I've regretted every other vote I've cast. But I will undoubtedly be relieved if somehow Biden manages to lose to whatever idiot the Republicans nominate. That's the best I can hope for.

The thing is, we only have ourselves to blame. The best candidate the Dems could put up in 2020 was a career politician with a known record for swaying whatever way the political winds blew. And of course, there was the added irony of the party of "anti-racism" and "tolerance" narrowing down the selection to two old white men (Sanders/Biden).

Donnie T's time has come and gone. If the GOP nominates Trump again in 2024, then we deserve everything that follows.

And the career legislators in Congress could not care less who is elected president. If their party wins, they pump up the constituency, like a cheerleader in middle school. If it loses they attack the opposition and pump up the constituency with gloom and doom and finger pointing.

Where are those gutless people? They are not looking out for American interests. China, the border, the collapse of an already dubious education system, they are problems. And the Congress does nothing. The president is in absolute dereliction of his sworn duty, and the Congress does nothing.

I have said before that I will never again vote in a congressional election. Why would I? Win or lose, Americans lose.

An if RFK, jr decided to run? He is well respected by those of us whose party long ago abandoned us, Ds and Rs alike
