Hear, hear: “In fact, the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.
Trump, 78, has been on the political stage for eight years marked by chaos, corruption, and incivility. Why go back to that?”
I mean, Trump has never once served his country and I see no sign of interest in ever doing so. I do hope he is eventually compelled to serve as an example of a slow but steady criminal justice system finally imposing law and order.
I'm not a religious guy, but the Serenity prayer really fits here:
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."
Trump WILL be the candidate. We need to change what we can to stop him from winning.
“The debate served as a reminder of what another four years of Trump would look like. More lies, grievance, narcissism, and hate. Supporters say they like Trump because he says whatever he thinks. But he mainly spews raw sewage.”
If Donald Trump gave a you-know-what about this country, he never would have run for President at all. We all know that, the problem is the tens of millions of voters who think he’s on their side. How do we communicate that Trump can’t/won’t bring back the good old days?
Why is Trump is allowed on the 2024 ballot? Many of his documented crimes were subverting the ballot (Georgia and Jan.6). He gets another bite at the apple? I believed the tally in 2020; today I have every right to question the tally of 2024 (i.e. is he going to find a better way to cheat).
"To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race"
Reality: This is a 0% chance scenario
In understand the sentiment here, but everyone needs to come to terms with the fact democracy is facing a genuine existential threat.
There is no easy resolution.
If he dies, he was murdered.
If he loses, it was stolen.
If he's jailed, he was framed.
If he's ill, he was poisoned.
If he commits a crime, it it was for the Country.
If he calls up the militia, he is the Executive.
If he tells his mob to get me, I'll fight them.
Don't get me wrong, In a better system and a better timeline, I don't think Biden would be running.
But in that timeline, Trump wouldn't be running either.
If the right was running someone less dangerous, I wonder if Biden wouldn't have stepped aside. But he already beat this guy once.
