Best wishes for the wrong reasons

I'm not particularly interested in having Donald Trump as President again.  I suspect that we would get four more years of Trump making little or no effort to get good legislation passed; sending out public announcements in any way he could to blame everyone he could for the lack of action; legal challenges to everything he did and then, after four years of him doing good stuff again, the next President doing exactly what Biden did, which is overturn the good stuff.  Had PDT been willing to push congress we could have had pipelines, border security, drilling, etc all enshrined into law, laws which would have been much harder for the Left to overturn just due to the process involved.  Trump is also nearing 80 years old.  He needs to retire.

Which brings me to the January 6th Committee hearings.  These are a joke.  They are a dog and pony show designed to distract the American people from $6 gasoline, 8%+ inflation, high unemployment, transgender activists grooming their children, gun confiscation schemes, Russia, Ukraine, China, Taiwan, etc.  They also want to prevent Trump from running for President again.

I won't go over all the idiocy on the committee but suffice it to say that two Democratic members of the committee have, in the past, voted NOT to certify the results of a Presidential Election, once for Bush and once for Trump.  So if encouraging Congressional members not to vote for the results of the election is some horrific democracy destroying action, well there you go.

So what are my best wishes?  Honestly, as idiotic as it all is, what if they did somehow figure out a way to prevent Donald Trump from running.  What's the worst case scenario?

Trump doesn't run.  Trump supporters are pissed that he wasn't allowed to run.  They show up in droves for DeSantis.  Trumpism without Trump I have heard it called.  All the good parts, none of the bad.  DeSantis wins in a landslide for two terms and, if he picks a good conservative running mate (not making Ronald Reagan's mistake) a potential second eight year term.  Sixteen years of solid conservatism making actual gains and pushing back against the left's agenda.  I'll leave the specifics mostly to your imagination but I'll tease you with colleges paying taxes on billion dollar annuities if they don't lower tuition; strict border controls and felony disqualification of illegal border crossers; elimination of birthright citizenship; oil leases and pipelines no longer subject to the whim of the President; etc.

I agree. Trump had his chance anf he was weak on delivery. Problem is... there are no other trumps on the bench. Not DeSantis. Not anyone else
