Microcosm???

1. I must say that while my heart is in this post, my mind isn't. My experience on this board and in reading the news for years has made me a pessimist about America's future. But still.....the events in Chicago are heartening. the article quoted puts things in perspective for all of us.

2. "Considering 83% of Chicago voters chose someone other than the incumbent, yes, it appears there is a shift happening. I will do further analysis and discuss this in-depth in a future episode of my show. In the meantime, here are the bullet points that explain why Lightfoot’s massive loss offers hope for America’s future.

• Identity Politics Failed: Lori Lightfoot is the epitome of intersectionality. She is a homosexual woman of color. There aren’t a whole lot of other checkboxes she’d have to click to be more of a darling to Democrats. She used her status throughout her term as Mayor and leaned into it further during her campaign. It didn’t work. Are Americans getting sick of electing people based on their status rather than their merits?
• Crime Made the News: Rising violent crime is not something to celebrate, but seeing corporate media acknowledge it from time to time even when it’s not politically expedient for Democrats is fresh. Since the Obama era, corporate media has downplayed crime in major cities because invariably it rises in Democrat-run metros. But the people have been demanding more accurate coverage and local news channels in big cities have been obliging. Is this what it will take to make urban areas more aware of just how bad Democrat policies are?
• It’s the Economic, Stupid: Nearly every city in America is in a worse economic state than they were in the Trump years. This falls mostly on the Biden-Harris regime’s shoulders, but it’s impossible to ignore horrible decisions made by state and local politicians when many red states are fairing much better than their blue counterparts. As bad as things are across the whole country, Chicago has outpaced just about every other city in fiscal ineptitude. If things don’t get much better soon, will this bring more bad news for incumbents in 2024?"

3. The above has always been the perspective of those of us on the Right. I put it this way earlier:

• Under Trump gasoline was about $1.80 a gallon….but you voted against that
• Under Trump we were energy independent….but you voted against that.
• Under Trump 80% of illegal alien were kept in Mexico….but you voted against that.
• Under Trump inflation was 1.4%….but you voted against that.
• Under Trump crime was far lower, as were homicides….but you voted against that.
• Under Trump Iran was kept in a box….but you voted against that.
• Under Trump America had an airbase near both China and Iran….but you voted against that.
• Under Trump our President wasn’t on China’s payroll….but you voted against that.
• Under Trump cartels weren’t free to operate….but you voted against that.
• Under Trump government didn’t favor racism, CRT, gender mutilation….but you voted against that.
• Under Trump we didn’t have confiscatory tax policy….but you voted against that.
• Under Trump we didn’t have a government working with big tech to end free speech….but you voted against that.
• 
  
• You have proven to be one of the America-hating 5th columnists. Proud?

I agree that Trump was a better president than Pedo Joe.

That said, Trump doesn't have the character to be president

I believe that as general Kelly said, he is "a very flawed man"

I'm hoping that Desantis wins.

I hear what you're saying, but I think I need more than this to look past my pessimism that we're on the road to hell.

Great op as usual though!

What will it take for you to realize that your anti-American posts are just useless. First off, under Donald Trump, the cities were erupting in demonstrations against police violence. That's not happening under Biden. The hospitals are not full to overflowing, and the nation has gone back to work.

You're really big telling us how terrible life is for leftists in "socialist" countries, but I live in one of those socialist countries and we have more money, more freedom, and better infrastructure than the USA. Instead of your usual lies about leftists, why don't you give us examples of well run, safe, large cities which are being run by Republicans. Oh wait - there aren't ANY.

If he does a better job than the next guy ... who cares about his alleged "flaws"?

They obviously don't affect his ability to do the job.

I'm hoping that Desantis wins.

Given how hard up we are for leaders who enact sensible policies (like Trump) I'm perfectly willing to deal with character flaws for the time being. There's a good chance I would eventually get tired of trump and want someone else to take the torch of conservative leadership. But either Trump OR DeSantis would be a quantum leap beyond what the Democrats offer us. If elected again, I would only hope that Trump has learned not to give ammunition to the Dems with his attitude and big mouth. Hopefully in 4 years time he'll have gone through some counseling for all that. That's his only problem really. He unfortunately empowers the left sometimes by giving them petty things to bitch about. However, remember this was also instrumental in exposing them BIG TIME. The entire world has learned a big lesson in what American Dems are really about. They are petty hypocrites in search of a scapegoat for everything that they themselves do. If Trump was elected again and surprised them with a more suave and urbane public image, they'd be going nuts trying to provoke him...and show themselves even more. Trump may be the key to destroying the Democrat-Globalist-Deep State. I don't think DeSantis will be as successful at that. The Dems are a lost cause. They have to keep playing Wilder and Wilder cards in order to keep their game going. They're going to have to eventually either cave or simply come out with the fact that they want a dictatorship. It's Desperation Row for them and Trump made that what it is. That is why he is their Enemy #1 and they are writhing like hungry worms to find the goods on him if not totally manufacture it.

What does the Constitution say about "character"???

Are you familiar with Clinton? Buchanan? Biden???


Adults vote for policies not persons. Be real.

You dumb OX. Canada has a small population ~30million? You are not overran with 40 million Illegal immigrants + tons of Heroin COKE Pills etc. You don't have 25-50 million dark street criminals roaming around cities commiting violent crimes (or already in Prison or probation). All that needs "policed". Yet Loons like you handcuff our Police. You don't have 40million Black Brown ghetto Single mothers getting paid $50K annually to keep breeding.

Finally Canada does not spend $1T per year to defend the entire planet with Military. So STHU.

True, and we do have enough "checks and balances" to prevent Trump from becoming a dictator.
That said, Trump is also too old, his past record is no guarantee of future performance.
If Trump wins the GOP nomination I'll vote for him, he's still better than any democrat.
I prefer Desantis or a younger conservative, NIkki Haley would also do nicely.

I have felt for some time that we, and Western Civilization, as well, have reached their sell-by date. Just look at the posts by Democrats.

Character aside, Trump would be too old.
I prefer Desantis or Nikki Haley, or Mike Pompeo.

2024 should be an easy win for the GOP unless the dems pull their voter fraud again.

When the Gutless Gator speaks.....

Those of us with integrity can actually defend what we say. Others, like you, Gutless, simply blow hot air and run away.

Here’s another chance: you are too gutless to pick one of the only two parties that count.

I'm so glad you put your foot in your mouth....as I'll wipe up the floor with you....again:


The Democrat Party is now running on full-blown anti-white racism,

socialism,

infanticide,

opposition to free speech,

standing with criminals and felons rather than law-abiding citizens

substituting illegal alien voters for the American citizenry,

support for rioters, arsonists, murderers, and anarchists,

accepting payment from Communist China for future considerations,

and anti-Semitism… the knuckle-dragging, atavistic pagan party.

utter hogwash. It was time to fight back. Trump did it. Would you prefer milk-toasted Romney or do-nothing GWB types getting walked on daily yet hiding out?
Trump NEVER initiated anything....But he had courage to tell the truth right back at those slimy bastards. As well as the DIRTY FILTHY MSM. Remember the Press conferences? Trump was attacked from the 1st minute. He actually held back from what he should have done.

True. Trump is old. But Haley is a GW kook and very stupid. Don't know crap about Desantis. I know Trump. They could set it up 2-4 yrs Trump...then pass on to VP Desantis.
I don't think it matters what anyone wants..............the VOTE is fully rigged in enough States now to guarantee Americas enemies will never lose again. They appoint what they want.

Trump lost my support when he went along with the tax cut without cutting spending.
Democrats proved with all their give-aways that they can't govern either.
The Budget and Deficit and Entitlements will be the hot topics in the 2024 election cycle.
Neither party has impressed me with their problem solving skills.
