CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 2, 2021
HOW DID FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP DO AT THE CPAC CONVENTION SUNDAY IN ORLANDO? A POLL SHOWS 95 PERCENT APPROVE OF HIM, BUT ONLY 68 PERCENT WANT HIM TO RUN AGAIN IN 2024. MANY WANT HIS ISSUES INCARNATED IN ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
THOSE ISSUES RECEIVED WIDE APPROVAL, FROM CONTROLLING THE BORDER, TO ENERGY, GAS PRICES, TAXES AND SO MUCH MORE. AND THEY SHOULD. TRUMP ACHIEVED MORE ANY REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT AND HE DID IT WITH INTENSE OPPOSITION FROM DEMOCRATS, AND MOST OF THE MEDIA.
BUT HE GAVE INTO TEMPTATION, REHASHING LAST NOVEMBER’S ELECTION AND AGAIN CLAIMING HE WON. HIS PROPOSALS TO RETURN TO ONE-DAY VOTING WITH ABSENTEE BALLOTS FOR THOSE WHO CAN PROVE THEY MUST BE OUT OF TOWN WAS SPOT-ON. STATE LEGISLATURES, HE SAID, AND NO ONE ELSE, HAVE THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO MAKE VOTING LAWS FOR THEIR STATES.
THERE IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN TRUMP’S HIGH ENERGY AND PRESIDENT BIDEN’S EMPTY TANK. BUT IS THAT ENOUGH? MANY REPUBLICANS LOVE TRUMP AND SUPPORT HIS ISSUES BUT RECOIL AT HIS CONSPIRACY CLAIMS AND CAUSTIC PERSONALITY. I’M CAL THOMAS
