To paraphrase Tom Petty, this doesn’t have to be the big get-even. This should not be the year 2024. Avenging2020. Must beAbout the Republican Party putting themselves in the best position possible to defeat the radical leftist agenda pushed down our throats through Joe Biden’s Democrat-controlled Congress.
Regaining control of the White House must be the singularly most important objective of every voting American who is sick to death with not only the disastrous Biden presidency but also the left’s hellbent quest to dismantle America as we know it, including a rewrite of history and the destruction of the moral fiber of the American people. In large part, the left is doing so by indoctrinating young children into believing they have the maturity to make gender-altering decisions, and programming kids not only to believe America is a racist country at heart and that “white supremacy” and “systemic racism” are the greatest threat to this nation. It is complete rubbish.
OMG! I nearly forgot. And white Americans simply for the virtue of being Born white are “inherently racist” and as such, must spend their entire lives atoningFor Their whiteness by demonstrating anti-racism. (See Critical Race Theory.
So, here we find ourselves, less than three months from the 2022 midterms, in which the Republican Party will likely regain control of the House — although I don’t believe the so-called “red wave” predicted by many political pundits will happen — and have a 50-60 percent chance of regaining the Senate majority.
The House’s control would be yuuge,It would also set the groundwork for taking back control of the White House. This would deny Democrats any opportunity to continue their destruction of America after January 2025.
Like you might expect, I do have thoughts.
Internecine warfare: Always-Trumpers or Never-Trumpers
Internecine war is a perilous dynamic that continues to plague the Republican Party. This is a known fact. Refuting it will only make it worse. The GOP can’t afford the “luxury” of entering the 2024 presidential campaign season as divided as it now is. Again, denying the fact serves no one on either side of the chasm — and only plays into the hand of the Democrats.
However Trump Derangement SyndromeWhile the continued division with the party may be one thing, it is another to have the Left on your side. Each faction is able to criticize the other and deny its role, making the dynamic even more difficult. Therefore, the Always-Trumpers quickly dismiss the idea that they exist and point out the Never-Trumpers to be the main problem. It is simply incorrect. Make no mistake, it is sometimes bitter but benefits Democrats.
A personal example: In 2016, 2020, and 2024 I voted in favor of Donald Trump. If he becomes the Republican nominee for president, then I will also vote for him. Period. Moreover, my votes were validated by Trump’s Supreme Court nominees, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney — three of the five associate justices to vote in the 5-4 overturn of Roe V. Wade.
In addition, Trump’s efforts to secure the southern border were largely successful, particularly in stark contrast to the continuing border crisis purposely created by Biden. Toss in tax and regulatory reform, putting the world’s bad guys on notice that there was a new sheriff in town who was not afraid to act, after eight years of the kowtowing Obama administration, and working to shore up the U.S. military, and I was generally pleased with Trump’s presidency from a Policy perspective.
As most RedStaters are aware, I have also criticized Trump when I’ve disagreed with his actions and will continue to do so. This is what a conservative but objective political pundit does. Yet, despite my overall support of Trump’s policies as president, I’ve been called every name in the proverbial book when I’ve dared to criticize him, including my recent favorite: “MAGA-hating communist piece of garbage.” It bothers me not; I’ve been at this for quite a few years. However, what? Does bother me is that 2024 is going to be a tough, bitterly fought election, and the GOP simply cannot afford the baggage attached to Trump — whether attached by Trump himself or by his detractors.
For that reason, while Trump’s presidency was largely successful in the eyes of Republican voters, it’s time to move on. It is clear that the windshield is wider than the back window. 2020 is done and it is not possible to rehabilitate. While I understand the argument of those who suggest it must be “resolved,” I respectfully disagree. Sincerely, I don’t think the 2020 election or its aftermath will change anything. Never be “resolved” to the extent that some continue to demand.
Trump-DeSantis ticket?
What is your dream team? It depends on who’s dreaming. The idea of social media keyboard warriors or pundits has been wildly popularized by many. Trump-DeSantis 2024, With memes appearing regularly. The “logic” often goes something like this: “DeSantis would make a great vice president under Trump and then could run in 2028, giving us 12 years of Republican control of the White House.” Multiple problems exist with that pipedream but the bottom line is that it’s not going to happen.
While Trump himself has teased the idea, I’m not convinced he would even want DeSantis in the two-spot, given the Florida governor’s equally-strong personality and Minimum equal intelligence. Second, I don’t believe DeSantis would accept the offer, or believe it would be in his best interest to do so. Just ask, “Why would he?” How does the governor move forward with his pluses?
Trump’s toxic nature is evident to many Americans. This is the reality.
Regardless of how much of Trump’s baggage is self-inflicted, as opposed to the irrational obsession of the TDS-riddled left, the facts remain the same. Trump’s votes in 2016 were actually tens and millions. not-HillaryVotes; The script was reversed in 2020, when he was defeat in part. not-Trump votes, vs. votes Please see the following: Biden. That reality is likely to repeat if Trump wins the nomination in 2024.
Bottom line:
It’s my belief that Donald Trump isn’t the best option for the Republican Party in 2024, for the reasons outlined above.
Susie Moore, my co-author in the August 19 article suggested this:
It would be hard to argue that there’s a more polarizing figure in modern history than Donald Trump. His most loyal supporters are his strongest enemies. Over the course of the past seven years, we’ve largely divided ourselves into Trump camps – ya love him or ya hate him, and the people who feel the opposite? Well, They are the worst.
It is not an accusation of Trump or a defense. It’s an observation – and a reflection on Use this site. Too many have allowed their sentiments on one man – or, truthfully, what he Replies to them – to steer most everything they say and do. And whether they’re operating under blind allegiance or blind hatred, they’re still flying blind.
Which is why it’s critical to fix your sights on principles, not people.
Susie’s point remains spot on. As I said at the top, 2024 doesn’t have to be the big get-even. Others who don’t believe so and those who do. They should fix their eyes on people and not principlesIn 2024, it could be the detriment of conservative causes. Let’s hope! not.
