From A Scale Of Zero To Ten

I asked everyone to read the last post with an open mind & the people who responded with comments like "Soooo, who do we vote for on a “Biden V Trump II”?  Biden—I don’t think so!" or "Who would you suggest instead?" certainly were open minded.

One of the points of the post is to avoid a Trump-Biden rematch.  Democrats are quite content with the rematch because they think Trump has too much baggage to win a general election & based on the red wave of 2022 that did not develop their theory has some credibility that GOP primary voters dismiss @ their own peril.  Republicans can control the other side of the rematch by finding an alternative worthy contender to Biden - someone who earns your vote.

Normally, a president with a record like Biden's would lose in a landslide & the chances of that happening are greater with a fresh face that comes out of the primary process pointing out Biden's failures rather than repeating Trump as the nominee.  The Democrats are masters @ distracting from Biden's terrible anti-American record thereby making the election all about Trump & his polarising ways, grievances, & stolen election claims that people have rightfully tired of. Trump would be only too happy to contest the election on these grounds.  

The process of making a decision on who should be the GOP nominee is just starting with the August 23 FNC debate - which is not a one night process.  I encourage you to watch & learn about the primary candidates over the coming months & see how your findings square with your previous knowledge of each candidate.  Voters did not do this last part in 2020 & Biden snuck in - Biden got away with masquerading as some sort of moderate after almost 50 years of being a malleable far left politician including 8 years as VP to BO.

I also received comments like "totally agree with everything said" from a two time Trump voter who said he would stay home if there was a Trump-Biden rematch. 

At the other pole are comments from people who would vote for Trump if he killed someone on Fifth Avenue like "If Democrats keep control so much damage will be done to America there is no turning it around. That is the story to be told."  He is saying that the stakes are precisely known so you have to vote for Trump but Point #1 from the post highlights that when the stakes were precisely known by Trump in Dalton Georgia on January 4, 2021 that he told voters their votes in the runoff Senate elections wouldn't count & Biden wound up with control of the Senate & House.  Trump had it in his power to stop Biden's agenda by successfully campaigning for the GOP Senate candidates.  Terrible.

I recommend that everyone, especially hard line Trump supporters, do themselves a favor & go through the ten points of the post with an open mind & find the one that least offends, one that you could even agree with (e.g., if you think Trump was the biggest spender than you would write down #5).  Then repeat the process until you find points that you do not agree with @ all.  You then have a starting point to compare the other GOP primary candidates with Trump.

You will have made a list or scale of zero to ten points from the post.

Please let me know the results of your work so we can have a good discussion on this blog over the months in choosing the best candidate to beat Biden.
