Reality, vs. the Democrats.

 (...edited and bumped back to the top)
The 2020 presidential election isn't Trump v. whomever the Dems eventually elect to put up...

It's really, Reality v. the Democrats.

We're wiser now (I hope!) after President Obama's reign, to the effects of false promises even made by a heck-of-a-nice-person, someone you'd be willing to "choom" with. I'm for President Trump because Washington DC still needs to send a lot of people packing (politicians and lobbyists alike); because we need more conservative court picks at all levels; and because, of course, he sent the Bushies as well as the Clinton's packing, not liking what hit them...

I also know -- as do a lot of others based on the conversations I am overhearing -- that while we accept Trump is not the most polished at the government game, and seems to court chaos because the media is not willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and tries to magnify every little "error", there is nobody folks are willing to actually vote FOR.

And that seems to be the Democrats only strategy this year: "We can run a dogcatcher against the evil Orange One, and will still win!"  We shall see, friends, we shall see.

Plus, you see, I was a mature voter in 2004, when of course, we had a president sitting in office who WAS indeed "helped" by outside powers: his father's cronies, and the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) who never should have taken the Florida case, but who should have let the Florida Supreme Court maintain their rightful authority in letting the state decide state voting procedures.

Bush the boy president then took us to war under false premises (adventures! costumes! ... revenge!); tried to impose democracy at gunpoint on a non-Western culture in a foreign land; and was essentially a non-professional goofball, to anyone who had eyes to see.

The day George W. Bush was re-elected was like the proverbial gutpunch to me. I was in law school then, and thank heavens, got up the next day and went about my life and routine not quite understanding why the People had not rejected the man fully, as came later, when his costly errors became more obvious to all. (GWB defenders: give it up already. History will not be kind to you.)

So in comparison, President Trump's clumsy presentation as a non-professional politician seems like little to me. He's not costing people their lives, foreign or abroad. And I would much much rather have a "real" person in office who fumbles in his sincere efforts to make this country better, than to elect one of the know-it-all Dem politicians who essentially want to remake our country, taking away our traditions of freedom, individuality and choice because they think they know better. (On paper perhaps, but in the real world, things don't work out as consultants are paid to predict. Short-term thinkers today never seem to be held accountable for their mistakes.)

We're not going to elect someone to destabilize our country again, I don't think. And none of the candidates currently opposing Trump have the courage or the charisma to stop playing the "Hate Trump!" game and actually analyze the effects of his policies vs. what their own people are promising to do to the nation.

Moving too quickly, too soon, results in crashes.  

The media has shown their hands, and it's obvious that neutral reporting has no place in journ-o-lism anymore. They're advocates (and haters), not reporters. But we might be surprised at the numbers of independent thinkers who still value Freedom, who will not choose to elect a non-realist in 2020.

I still have hope, if not faith, in my fellow Americans...

It's the traditional American values, stupid, not the person clumsily embodying them in leadership today. Imagine where we might be if only President Trump had a solid bi-partisan team of like-minded individuals working WITH, not against him.

Dare to dream.
Even today.
