CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 3, 2022
THE FIRST OF THE NATION’S MANY PRIMARY ELECTIONS TAKE PLACE TODAY IN OHIO AND INDIANA. THERE WILL BE OTHERS THIS MONTH AND IN THE MONTHS AHEAD LEADING UP TO THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. USUALLY THE MOST ACTIVE VOTERS TURNOUT FOR PRIMARIES. THAT’S NOT ALWAYS GOOD AS ON OCCASION THE MORE RADICAL AND UNELECTABLE CANDIDATE WINS.
THE MEDIA AND CANDIDATES WILL BE CLOSELY WATCHING THESE PRIMARIES TO SEE WHETHER THOSE ENDORSED BY DONALD TRUMP WIN OR LOSE. THEY THINK THAT WILL SEND A SIGNAL ABOUT TRUMP’S INFLUENCE IN THE FALL AND EVEN THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL RACE.
IF YOU’RE AN ELIGIBLE VOTER IN ANY OF THE STATES HOLDING PRIMARIES, INFORM YOURSELF. WHO AMONG THE CANDIDATES HOLDS YOUR ECONOMIC, FOREIGN POLICY AND YES MORAL VALUES? A FEW CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN ACCUSED AND EVEN SEEN ON VIDEO BEHAVING INAPPROPRIATELY WITH MEN AND WOMEN. IS THAT ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR SOMEONE ELSE? IT’S UP TO EACH PERSON TO MAKE UP THEIR OWN MIND.
SO, INFORM YOURSELF AND REMIND YOUR LIKE-MINDED FRIENDS THAT THIS ELECTION CYCLE MUST STOP A LOT THAT IS BAD – FROM INFLATION, TO ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS. IT’S UP TO US TO DECIDE WHAT COUNTRY WE WANT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
