Respectable post and realistic opinion.I take my cue from the Bible I think. As something of a historian, including religious historian, the Bible is full of examples where God took some of the shadiest and/or least likely characters, dusted them off, and used them to accomplish great things. And when they are in the job they were intended to be, they accomplish those great things in spite of themselves.
That's the way I see Donald Trump. It wasn't choosing the least worse for me but choosing the unknown vs the unacceptable. I had no clue what kind of President he would make but I voted for him because I did have a pretty solid sense of what kind of President Hillary would make and I wanted no part of it. I did resonate with the vision that DJT presented us with during that campaign, i.e. the MAGA vision of a strong, free, prosperous America in a peaceful world. That is what MAGA represents for me.
Well again the Donald can be at times, petty, petulant, obnoxious, unlikable but he delivered on campaign rhetoric that turned out to be honest to goodness promises like no other President in my lifetime. If it was important, he didn't give up after one or two tries like ALL the others have done, but he kept at it until he found a solution and could get it done or at least get it started.
He made Obama look really bad and they know how bad it will make Biden look if he gets back in there and does it again. He could even cause some dismantling of and disenchantment with the deep state machine they've been creating over the last 50+ years. Which of course is why all the unethical, malicious, vicious prosecution is going on.
I don't vote for the personality. In 2024, if Trump is the nominee, I will be voting for the track record.
I vote on the best choice, in '16 I just couldn't vote for Hillary the witch. Take that as biblical, but she indeed is a wicked witch.
I could not vote for Biden, it would have been a vote for mediocracy, and history has proven this.
I reserve the right to bitch and whine about having to vote for the lesser of two evils. It's still voting for evil.
But as I said before, the best person for the job is smart enough not to want the job.
So we are stuck with voting for the least bad choice. That's my 2¢, and it's worth every penny.
