Back in the Paleolithic era, say 1988, when George H.W. Bush was the heir apparent to Ronald Reagan, much was made of how during his apprenticeship under the Gipper that Bush had shed all of his Rockefeller Republican leanings.\u00a0 He famously decried Michael Dukakis\u2019s membership in the ACLU and his links with the Liberal Boutique Ideologies of Cambridge.\u00a0 And of course, there was his full-throated exhortation to read his lips, \u201cNO NEW TAXES!!!\u201d\u00a0 Well, we know how that turned out.\u00a0 George\u2019s New World Order, tax increases and NAFTA initiatives gave rise to Ross Perot which in turn gave rise to Bill Clinton.\u00a0 And we know how well that worked out for us.<\/p>\n
Fast forward, let\u2019s say to 2024.\u00a0 We are entering the victory lap of the God-Emperor\u2019s reign here on earth.\u00a0 All\u2019s right with the world.\u00a0 The new republicans have a supermajority in the Senate and House, Unemployment stands at negative 1%.\u00a0 Transgenderism has been proven to be a curable mental condition, women are leaving the work force in droves to return to the home to raise kids and regain their sanity.\u00a0 The Clintons and the Obamas have all been assigned multi-decade jail sentences that none are predicted to outlive.\u00a0 It\u2019s the best of all possible worlds.<\/p>\n
But now the successor to the God-Emperor must be selected.\u00a0 And while everyone agrees that Mike Pence is a heck of a nice guy, everybody remembers how he backed down when George Stephanopoulos questioned him about the Defense of Faith act he signed into law in Indiana.\u00a0 Is this the Bush scenario being replayed?\u00a0 Are we about to see another Bill Clinton moment?<\/p>\n
Now, this may be a slight exaggeration.\u00a0 Mike Pence is not a Bush.\u00a0 He is an actual conservative.\u00a0 But also, he\u2019s no Trump.\u00a0 So, a better formulation of this question is how do you end up with another Trump?\u00a0 Having a combative, unabashed alpha male at the head of the right wing has been a genuine pleasure.\u00a0 Starting from a position of strength has proven to be an unalloyed advantage.\u00a0 Not having to cede territory to our opponents in the Democrat party or the Media every time they throw up a smoke screen about race or gender has meant that we can actually gain ground on many different initiatives.\u00a0 All in all, it\u2019s just unacceptable to imagine us going back to a dweeby loser for Commander in Chief.\u00a0 We want General George Patton in charge not Pee Wee Herman.<\/p>\n
And then it hit me.\u00a0 Let Trump choose his successor.\u00a0 Now sure, he picked Mike Pence for running mate but he was choosing from the small subset of republican political figures.\u00a0 And selection time was short.\u00a0 Neither of these factors is currently important.\u00a0 So, he can cast a wider net this time.\u00a0 And he has time.\u00a0 At least a few years.\u00a0 So, what I thought up was a reboot of the Apprentice.\u00a0 Let Donald Trump use his own intuition and methods to sort through all the candidates in America to find another him.\u00a0 And since he\u2019s done it before for something lesser he can apply this experience to doing a better job for the more important version.\u00a0 And he should have it televised.\u00a0 And the home audience should get to give feedback.\u00a0 But only registered Republicans who donate money to the party.\u00a0 The ratings would be through the roof.\u00a0 And Mike Pence should definitely be in the running.\u00a0 I mean, he\u2019s not such a bad guy and maybe he actually has learned more than a Bush.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
