[Hoot Gibson]

Thanks for your response, Hoot. I just listed anyone off the top of my head that has indicated an interest in running or has been rumored about having a possible interest in running. I didn't think my list would particularly appeal to you but I'm glad you indicated who your early favorites are. I do think you would vote for anyone on my list(including the Pillow Guy and Eric Trump) before you would vote for our current Vice-President.

Actually, I would vote for a third-party candidate before I would vote for anybody who blamed Trump for the violence on 6 January. I like Mike Lindell and I have a great deal of respect for him but he is not cut out to be a presidential candidate.

I think that this country has suffered through enough political dynasties. If Eric Trump, his siblings, or in-laws want to be president, then they need to earn their shot by serving in some lesser public office first. One of the reasons that I oppose all forms of campaign finance reform except full disclosure of the source of donations is that it gives celebrity candidates and incumbents a huge advantage over challengers, who have to spend enormous sums of money to simply gain name recognition.

While, to my great surprise, I believe that Trump did an outstanding job as president under very difficult circumstances, I do not want to live in a country where name recognition alone is enough to make one a viable presidential candidate. Nor do I want to live in a country where elections are rigged and we have a single viable political party masquerading as two parties. Exposing the Washington uniparty has been one of President Trump's major accomplishments. The fact that both Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell hate Donald Trump is proof that he had the nation on the right track, IMO.
