CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 23, 2023
NOW THAT RON DESANTIS HAS DROPPED OUT OF THE GOP PRESIDENTIAL RACE, LET’S LOOK AHEAD.
A WALL STREET JOURNAL EDITORIAL LISTS SEVERAL CONSEQUENCES FOR REPUBLICANS SHOULD TRUMP AGAIN WIN THE PRESIDENCY.
THE CHAOS WOULD CONTINUE AND FEW COMPETENT PEOPLE WOULD JOIN HIS ADMINISTRATION.
THE 91 INDICTMENTS AND THE CONSEQUENCES FOR HIM AND THE COUNTRY IF HE IS CONVICTED ON ANY OF THEM.
THE CONSEQUENCES FOR HIS POLICIES SHOULD THE HOUSE FLIP TO MAJORITY DEMOCRAT, EVEN IF THE GOP TAKES THE SENATE. NO MORE CONSERVATIVE JUDGES OR POLICIES. HE WOULD ALSO BE AN IMMEDIATE LAME DUCK, UNABLE TO PERSUADE OPPONENTS.
YES, HE COULD USE EXECUTIVE ORDERS TO REVERSE BIDEN’S ORDERS THAT REVERSED HIS, BUT THAT’S NOT LEGISLATION AND A FUURE DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT COULD ISSUE NEW REVERSALS.
HE IS UNDISCIPLIED AND CONTINUES TO DEMEAN OTHERS. HE IS A DIVIDER.
THE EDITORIAL CONCLUDES: IF REPUBLICANS NOMINATE MR. TRUMP AGAIN, THAT’S DEMOCRACY – THE WORST SYSTEM EXCEPT FOR ALL THE OTHERS. BUT OUR UNHAPPY GUESS IS THAT, SOONER OR LATER, THE CHOICE WILL END IN TEARS FOR HIS VOTERS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
