Last week two important things occurred on the same day in the political world that you might not have noticed.
The first involved statements by Tucker Carlson on a Roseanne Barr’s podcast. He finally admitted what many of us have long suspected: He’s voting for Donald Trump in 2024.
From Align:
“I became an active Trump supporter when they raided Mar-a-Lago. That can’t stand,” Carlson told the comedian. “I agree with Trump on a lot, but even if I disagreed with Trump on a lot, I’d still be a Trump supporter … because you cannot allow the president of the United States to use the Justice Department to knock the front-runner out of the race.”
For Carlson, the issue is “bigger than Trump, it’s bigger than Biden.”
‘It’s a question of ‘Do you want to live in a free country with a functioning justice system?’ I’m voting for Trump, and if they convict him, I will send the max donations, and I’ll lead protests,’he said.”
Now grated Tucker Carlson is not a politician, but what he says does carry a lot of weight with the general populace. I think Carlson is correct. The 2024 presidential election is a referendum on what type of country Americans want. It is much more than just about the two candidates.
The second interesting thing that happened was the Gavin Newsom/ Ron DeSanctis debate. No, I did not watch this obvious ratings play by Fox, but it appears that it can be summed up in just a few words … “DeSanctis by a TKO!”
From Townhall:
“Gov. Ron DeSantis did not waste any opportunity during the highly promoted debate on Fox News with Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday to highlight the many reasons people are leaving California for Florida.
“So, I was talking to a fella who had made the move from California to Florida, and he was telling me that Florida is much better governed, safer, better budget, lower taxes, all this stuff, and he’s really happy with the quality of life,” DeSantis said during “The Great Red vs. Blue State Debate” on Thursday. “And then he paused, and he said, ‘You know, by the way, I’m Gavin Newsom’s father-in-law.”
Kenneth Siebel Jr. and Judith Siebel, Newsom’s in-laws, purchased a home in Naples in 2020.”
DeSantis then finished off Newsom when he then displayed a print-out of the ‘poop map’ app for San Francisco.
“That is what has happened in one of the previous greatest cities this country has ever had. Human feces is now a fact of life,” DeSantis said.”
Like I said, “DeSantis by a TKO!”
After his debate fiasco, only the most over the line liberal could have come away thinking that Newsom is a viable presidential candidate. So when Biden backs away, who is going to be the sacrificial lamb to be forced to run against Trump?
