Republican POTUS Candidates
Posted: Thu Nov 09, 2023 6:21 am
Donald Trump seems sure to win the Republican nomination. We're well into the 2024 campaign and he still has a commanding lead over his challengers. Trump has managed to keep himself in the news cycle since he left office. The various legal issues he's had has done nothing but feed into his "witch hunt" narrative and inspired his supporters who would vote for him even if Trump raped their daughters. He is very wise not to participate in the debates. Why should he?
I haven't watched the R debates, but I have read and heard enough about the candidates to where I've formed an opinion as to which one I would prefer. DeSantis is a nonstarter with me, as is Vivek Ramaswamy, who is nothing short of a certified moonbat. I started out preferring Chris Christie, mainly because he was so anti-Trump, but I've gradually been attracted to Nikki Haley, mostly due to her stance on Social Security reform.
Every single candidate, both Republican and Democratic alike, have done nothing but kick the can down the road when it comes to Social Security. It's been called the 3rd rail of politics: Touch it and you're dead. They need significant reform if it is to remain a viable system into the middle of this century. But Haley has taken on the issue and made it the signature plank of her platform. She also has a foreign policy stance that I approve of, and has a more moderate stance on immigration, doesn't seem to Demonize them like DeSantis has. Indeed, she's the child of immigrant parents.
But it's a moot point. Trump is going to win the R nomination and will beat Sleepy Joe in the general election. Another 4 years of the Orange Baboon. If he wins, I hope the hell that the Dems win back the House and hold onto the Senate.
