Donald Trump has proven that even on hostile turf, like a CNN \u201ctown hall\u201d he can more than hold his own.\u00a0 In fact, he made them look like the chumps they are.\u00a0 The petulant moderator came off as a middle school hall monitor almost constantly hectoring the former president with subjective corrections to almost everything Trump asserted.\u00a0 And the audience was in Trump\u2019s pocket.\u00a0 They cheered his punchlines and took his part in the argument.<\/p>\n
So, candidate Trump has a solid base of Republican voters who want him to be the nominee.\u00a0 And sure, why shouldn\u2019t he be the candidate.\u00a0 But I think a lot of folks no longer think we\u2019re going to get anywhere by electing politicians to spend four years in Washington DC being undermined by the FBI, the Justice Department and the rest of the Deep State.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve just seen this movie.\u00a0 Even if by some miracle Donald Trump wins the 2024 election and ends up in the White House, what\u2019s going to be different?\u00a0 How does he make the FBI follow his orders?\u00a0 How does he get the Defense Department to end their wars?\u00a0 When he ordered the Pentagon to end the Afghanistan war, they ignored him.\u00a0 Just flat out ignored him.<\/p>\n
Going into that charade again without a plan for making the outcome different is a complete waste of time we don\u2019t have.\u00a0 Things are already at the breaking point in large sections of the population.\u00a0 Dooming people to waiting four more years or even two years is a death sentence.<\/p>\n
If Trump and DeSantis and the rest of the Republican leaders had half a brain they\u2019d have already sat down together and begun putting together an agenda that concentrated on what could be done right now on the state and local level.\u00a0 They should have a plan that included initiatives that could be implemented over the next year and a half and then two separate plans to be implemented after that.\u00a0 One plan would be used if the Republicans took back the White House and the other one would be used if they didn\u2019t.\u00a0 It\u2019s as simple as that.<\/p>\n
What I\u2019m saying is that conservative politics can no longer be pursued as if it\u2019s a gentleman\u2019s pastime that\u2019s dusted off every four years and then put back on the shelf if the Democrats win.\u00a0 If we don\u2019t start pushing back right now and wherever it can be done it won\u2019t matter whether we \u201cwin the next one.\u201d\u00a0 Because there won\u2019t be anyone left who will care.\u00a0 Another four years of new Americans will replace four years of Americans.\u00a0 The tipping point has already been reached.<\/p>\n
So, Trump, DeSantis and the rest of you \u201cleaders,\u201d wake up!\u00a0 Sit down together and start planning for the big picture.\u00a0 The clock is ticking and your window of opportunity is closing.\u00a0 Fighting each other to be the losing candidate in 2024 is a singularly meaningless waste of time.\u00a0 Sure, one of you can be the candidate.\u00a0 But it should be a unity government that represents a consensus on what the platform must be.\u00a0 And those idiots in the House and Senate must be dope slapped until they cooperate with the plans and preparations that the state leaders decide upon.<\/p>\n
