I have consistently said the same thing, only to be attacked by conservatives; and I even give Trump a pass if he can prove his claims about voter fraud before the race for the Whitehouse begins.
I am not sure about a centrist as he/she will have nobody on their side in Washington, but I do know that running someone that 45 to 55% of the people believe is crooked.....contrived or not....is political Hari-Kari.
If Trump was the ONLY person able to accomplish what America needs to be done, it might be worth the risk, but he is not! There is more than a few who would follow his same path, and NOT be a bull in a China shop while doing it.
Let me say to all Conservatives, I do NOT blame Trump for what was done to him. For all intensive purposes, the Democrats screwed him for 4 years, threw as much poop at the wall as they could, and enough stuck rightly or wrongly, to weaken him. At the end, he didn't help himself either I might add, but that is a by product of all the contrived nonsense of what went on for 4 years.
Still, the last thing we want to do is wake up in November of 2024, and find another Leftist has been elected President.
2024 is NOT about Trump, it is about America. As of today, this moment in time, Trump has NOT been able to prove his case enough in the court of public opinion to sway any but his most ardent supporters. That could change! But if it doesn't, we need to be smart; because if we just keep blinders on and go full speed ahead, we WILL have a much higher probability of waking up in November of 2024, only to discover we are hosed for most likely, 8 more years.
