[Hoot Gibson]

^I agree with everything but the characterization of Trump's style governance as "substantive." IMO, a multitude of Executive Orders and a revolving door to executive "leadership" posiitions in government are not hallmarks of a substantive style of governance. I despise Obama and disagreed with virtually everything that he did as president but his style of governance was much more substantive than Trump's. 

The only major lasting change that Trump left after four years in office was a more conservative Supreme Court, which I consider a major accomplishment. Otherwise, Trump's presidency was mostly ineffective. Obama delivered on his promise of lasting change - change that heavily damaged the future of our society. Trump could not even get funding for a border wall, despite GOP control of Congress for two full years.

I cannot believe the number of Republicans who still support Trump for a second term. Americans should not vote for candidates out of pity, and at this point I see no other reason to support Trump over any other Republican candidate.

Trump has cost the GOP 3 straight elections that they should have won.  There are several Republicans who can easily defeat Biden, and Trump is not one of them.

Most, if not all of the other Republican candidates can easily defeat the traitor in the White House. Even a candidate as flawed as former President Trump should have an excellent shot at defeating a traitor in a fair election, even if Biden's crooked DoJ manages to convict Trump in a politically motivated criminal case. It would be embarrassing if Republicans nominate Trump to run against Biden, but it would be even more embarrassing to Democrats if Americans elect Trump to a second term if he wins the election from a prison cell.

Obama, Biden, and the Democrats have turned this country into a banana republic.
