Has Donald Trump reached his sell-by date?

There was a time when watching a Trump speech was enjoyable. It wasn't that the material was that great. It's that he was a great showman. Notice that I'm using the past tense these days. IMO, Trump reached his political sell-by date.

Trump still has a following, though that isn't as stout-hearted as it used to be. This morning, I came across this tweet, which I connected with almost immediately. The part of the tweet that I connected with most said "I attended many rallies and watched almost all the rest. I believe there were voting irregularities in the swing states. I also believe the 2020 election is long OVER and in the history books. Trump’s 'HIRE and FIRE' management style may have worked for him in business but it proved to be a destructive way to run a Presidential administration."

I also strongly agree with Fair Deal Dave when he said "America needs a prolonged state of NORMAL; A new leader who has a tested and proven track record of winning and delivering steady continuously improving results. A leader whose management style is: HIRE - TRAIN - EXECUTE - WIN. That leader is Governor Ron DeSantis." Here's the tweet in its entirety:

There was a time when Trump's jabs hit hard. Whether he called Jeb Bush Low Energy Jeb or he called Marco Rubio Litte Marco, they stuck. These days, when Trump calls Gov. DeSantis Ron DeSanctimonious, the impact is negligible. It's like the kid who was the schoolyard bully in fifth grade but who was bullied when he got into 7th grade because other kids were bigger than him by then. Trump isn't the heavyweight he used to be:

That was from when Trump was a fresh face. Then he got elected president and Trump's ego got the best of him. When Gov. DeSantis highlights the fact that "Trump added $7.8 Trillion to the debt", he prefaced that statement by saying that Trump promised to eliminate the debt.

The truth is that Trump has made so many dishonest statements that people have stopped listening. It's like the little boy who cried wolf too many times. After awhile, people stop paying attention.

David is right. America needs a prolonged state of normal." Trump specializes in chaotic. That way, people don't notice the things he didn't finish that he promised to finish. Think building the Trump Wall and draining the Swamp.

Joe Biden is a feeble-minded old fart. Donald Trump is a high-maintenance spoiled brat who thinks everyone should be loyal to him. Gov. DeSantis is the best governor in the U.S. and he's got the conservative accomplishments and the winning streak to prove it.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
