OPINION:
I hope the Democrats’ latest unethical political farce (the Jan. 6 sitcom) to discredit Donald Trump succeeds in keeping the former president from running again (“Lenin’s show trials and the Jan. 6 committee,” Web, July 6). The president who fought like a wolverine for flyover America is polarizing. He can’t overcome the radical left’s stacked deck of seditious media bias (the suppression of Biden family corruption), physical election fraud (ballot harvesting and votes cast without ID) and a weaponized Department of Justice.
Mr. Trump is renowned for seeking varied inputs on decisions. Let’s hope he concludes that 2024’s best chance to make America great again is for him to focus his uncanny, septuagenarian energy barnstorming for a ticket he’s not on. Let us hope he sees that any pairing of candidates such as Tim Scott, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and Kristi Noem would make for a diverse, intelligent juggernaut that could trigger a 16-year run. It could be a ticket without the instant loss of 40% of voters who, similar to the “Never Hillary” crowd, refuse to vote for Mr. Trump.
Whatever the left’s boot-licking media gins up on these Republicans, it won’t keep all 40% in Neverland. They’ll see competent candidates articulating policies that improve their everyday lives, including returning to $2.50-a-gallon energy independence and protecting kids from drug tonnage pouring through Cartel Joey’s open border. (President Biden’s signature on his first day in office stopped work on both a fentanyl-snuffing wall and our pipelines.)
Democrats promote societal division and national guilt to feed their power addiction. Mr. Trump’s best counter-punch is to unify all who love America behind a young, dynamic ticket he loves, too. And to then accept nomination as secretary of commerce, with crosshairs on China.
