Should Trump run again, and should we support him?
In the spirit of the old Chinese curse “May you live in interesting times.”, it is interesting that we have such an incompetent administration in the White House, and interesting to watch them stumble around and lie and spin, and bungle so many things important to Americans. So what to do?
It is clear Trump wants to run again, most likely to face Hillary again. But should he?
If one looks back at his 4 years in office, one sees a record of great accomplishments. Whether foreign or domestic, his administration took on seemingly impossible tasks and won.
We had relatively secure borders.
The economy was booming.
Inflation was nil.
Interest rates were low.
Unemployment was at record lows.
We got a COVID vaccine in record time.
Our relationships with other nations greatly improved.
North Korea and Russia were talking to us.
Our trade was greatly improved, and China trade deal renegotiated.
NAFDA was dumped and a new trade agreement signed that was more fair to the US.
So why would we not re-elect this guy? Answer: The media.
We lived through 4years of Trump in the White House with the media nipping at his heels the whole time. Trump never had a real chance to govern without lies, rumors and innuendo following his every step. He not only had to fight the Dumocraps, there were the false Russian collusion charges, the false dossier, the false inditement of Trump staff, lies and misrepresentations galore, false impeachments and an American public divided, rightly or wrongly, as never before.
I support Trump, and I believe that his record and accomplishments will stand up against anyone’s. In addition he has shown that he can get the job done. He deserves a second term. But what concerns me is that the Cabal, the Deep State, and/or his opponents and the media will pick up where they left off in January 2021, and we will have another 4years like his previous 4 years with fabricated lies, distortions and fabricated scandals as then promulgated by a corrupt leftist media and the socialist/communist Dumocrap Party.
So here’s the question; if we know that Trump will be slandered and face the same opposition and baseless accusations as in his previous administration, would you vote for him in 2024?

A migration of the Hispanic vote to the GOP.
No, the ethnicity of a candidate should not matter, but there are a whole lot of people for whom ethnicity and "heritage" and "color" are everything - to the point where they will vote for someone of their own tribe before someone of another.
If the GOP were to nominate a black candidate of the strength of Allen West or Candace Owens, assuming either got elected it would essentially obliterate the Demo-Soc Party for the better part of the next century.

Trump is not perfect. He’s not a politician who was raised and groomed by the Party to have the right spin/sound bite at any and all times. Disgusting person? Maybe, but that’s relative. I ignore that he runs his mouth, tweets, grabs women by the pussy (God knows I wish he didn’t.)
That said, I consider Trump, with all his flaws, to be a patriot. He believes in the Constitution, and the vision of the Founders. He took no salary his entire time in office. And he told it like it is with regard to the shenanigans of Pelosi, Schumer and the rest.
I first voted for President in 1968. In that election, and every presidential election since, I have voted for the lesser of two evils. I don’t expect future presidential elections to be any different. That’s what you get when you distill down the wishes of everyone across the country to one person - half or more of the people don’t like him much.
The question today is whether we support Trump if he runs again, and when I think of the candidates the Dumocraps are likely to field, the question answers itself.
Other than that I agree with you.
I'm arguing that Trump, comparatively, is utterly devoid not only of these candidates' greater intellectual depth, but even of their ideological vision. A perfect example is what I mentioned above about his bizarre default on education:
In the period between his entry into the race in summer 2015 through his Inauguration in 2017 and to the end of his term, he gave evidence of complete obliviousness to there even existing a problem in American education. I honestly doubt he would've known (if indeed he does now,) of Howard Zinn's existence, or of the influence of Zinn's fraudulent work on students' attitudes toward core Americanism. It was only until the catastrophic spectacle of these punks, educated to America-hate, actually yanking down statues and publicly screaming "We're going to burn it [Western Civ] to the ground," that the condition of American "education" seemed to seep into his thick skull. Again, he didn't even address the issue until he was at the tail end of his re-election campaign - we are talking mid-September, 2020 - before he even got around to mentioning it! We cannot afford that level of obliviousness in a President or a Presidential candidate.
I'm thinking Cruz - a Constitutional scholar, BTW - or Owens, or Noem, or West, would be hammering away at this from Inauguration Day as a #1 priority. Which in point of fact it is: every single caustic emanation we see from the collectivist crowd, whether in politics, in academia, in news media, in entertainment, in religion, has its roots in education. Trump still seems shockingly unaware of this issue's importance.
There is no "perfect" politician in intellectual and ideological understanding and motivation. But finding politicians superior to Trump on ideological understanding and motivation is a veritable "fish in a barrel" proposition.

Just kidding. That system sounds absolutely wonderful to me!!
1. Each candidate should be limited to $20 million total to spend on the election, both primary and general elections.
2. Campaigning should be prohibited prior to January 1st of the election year for primaries with all parties held on the same day 120 days later. And do away with conventions.
3. After the primaries comes a one month pause.
4. After the month pause, the general election is held in 90 days, during which candidates may campaign.
5. Inauguration is 30 days after Election Day.
Before anyone pulls out “first amendment” or “freedom of speech” arguments, please note that the Constitution does not specify that limits on campaigning is prohibited, and in fact leaves the manner that elections are scheduled up to the States. It only proscribes Election Day on the first Tuesday in November.
I’m sick to death of the non-stop campaigns that start almost as soon as a president is sworn in. I believe that such campaigns make the candidates less focused on the people’s business, and makes it in his/her interests to be more argumentative and disagreeable.
Turn off the media because some of it is getting through.
Check mate! NCSWIC.
Elections never have 100% turn out period . End of story. But no , not end of story there is literally a hundred ways they cheated US to engineer this Color Revolution. We are at war and ignoring that fact is detrimental. It is not a war with guns and missiles . But Truth and Lies , Good vs Evil , traitors vs Patriots . I know what side you are on,
and welcome.
a few decades more and they can wallow and fester in their own shit..without my help getting there.
