Politickin'

For football fanatics, the Super Bowl is the highlight of the year.  For baseball enthusiasts, it's the World Series.  And for news junkies like me, the presidential primaries get our attention.  This election cycle promises to be one of the most exciting and craziest primary seasons ever.

The mudslinging has already begun.  You have Republicans attacking Republicans.  You have Democrats attacking Republicans, and you have the media attacking Republicans.

I'm a MAGA Republican.  I voted for Donald Trump twice, and I will vote for him again if he's the nominee.  That doesn't mean he's automatically my top choice.  Like 2016, there's a crowded Republican field, and there are other strong candidates running for the nomination.

Trump was a good president and did great things for the country.  When he ran the first time, his focus truly was about making America great again.  This time around, it's about making himself great again.  He's convinced that the 2020 election was stolen from him, and he's hellbent on getting another term as president.  He is so obsessed talking about the past wrongs done to him when he should be talking about the future needs of the country and how to solve them.  This country has some big problems. 

Trump is also embroiled in a legal battle that has him facing bogus charges.  He's been indicted four times and could be convicted on any or all of them, thanks to our corrupt justice system.  This battle will go all the way to the Supreme Court.

As I stated, there are other good candidates running for the Republican nomination.  Mike Pence is probably the most qualified.  He has been vice president and a governor and knows how to run the country.  I believe Pence is honest and trustworthy.  You can't say that about most politicians.  Ron DeSantis looked like he was going to be a strong challenger to Trump, but his momentum has started to stall out.  Unless he can pick up steam again, I wouldn't count on him this time.  He may be a contender in 2028 though. 

As for the Democrats, someone should tell Joe Biden that he's running for re-election.  He seems to be more interested in being on vacation.  I don't know if Biden is mentally fit to be president, but he's clearly incapable of running the country.  He's made a mess out of immigration and the border, foreign affairs and the economy.  He also has his own legal battles.  He's accused of money laundering, influence peddling and taking bribes, but, of course, the Injustice Department just ignores the whole thing.  The truth will come out eventually.

In the end, neither Biden nor Trump may win a second term in the White House.  Instead, they may be sentenced to serve terms together as cell mates.
