All this media hype and hand-wringing over Donald J. Trump’s apparent skate toward the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination has me on the brink of screaming at the top of my lungs.
I’ll refrain from that, but I will declare here — once again! — that Donald Trump will never enter the Oval Office again.
Let me say it another way. He will not be elected POTUS!
OK. I have said this before about this clown. He proved me, and millions of other prognosticators wrong in 2016 when he slipped past the conventional wisdom and squeaked out an Electoral College victory.
He then proceeded to embarrass himself, the country and endangered the lives of millions of Americans through his negligence in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
He was impeached twice. He has been indicted by two grand juries and a third indictment is coming up damn soon. There will be others in store.
I am going to place a great deal of faith in the American electorate that rank-and-file Americans are not so stupid that they would actually send this guy back for another turn as head of state and commander in chief.
This individual is profoundly dangerous.
You may stop laughing at me at any moment. Yes, he defied every oddsmaker once already. However, I want to dredge up the saying that President George W. Bush once famously flubbed: Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
Are we really, seriously ready to send this soon-to-be-convicted felon back to power?
I think not!
