Why no new conservative party?
Hi Steve. I’ve become blue in the face (no pun intended) asking others why sensible conservatives like Liz Cheney haven’t bailed on the now insane Republican party and formed a new conservative party. I have yet to receive a satisfactory explanation. It seems to me that there are millions of Never Trumpers who can’t bring themselves to vote for Biden either because he’s too liberal for them. Therefore, they feel have no real choice in the upcoming election and may just stay home, leaving the decision up to the most partisan of voters. An “old-school Republican” candidate would certainly draw mostly from the Trump vote, not Biden's, thereby ensuring Trump is not elected. Steve, I respect you as the most savvy politico there is, so please give me your take on this. Thanks!
Incarceration
It seems that the disgraced former POTUS has racked up enough felony charges that were he anyone else in America, he’d be looking at time in a small room with limits on communication, behavior, wardrobe, activity, and social interaction. Where would you put him? It seems that Leavenworth might be too hard for the Secret Service. Maybe a self contained cement building on a military base where he could be placed, guarded, and kept from trying to incite violence. He deserves prison time if convicted. Should that be such a hard thing to do? A criminal is not king, god or president, and should have consequences that meet the crime.
The Democrats. Again.
Biden is doing so many great things that are already helping ordinary Americans. Meanwhile, the Democrats are doing nothing to spotlight accomplishments or to highlight the huge mistakes and gaffes and lies and the corruption of the GOP, which is nothing anymore but a subservient hype squad for Donald Trump. Is there anything that could galvanize the Democrats to actually FIGHT HARD and play the game they’re in at this crucial moment?
Future leaders
I'm an aging boomer (70) and am very concerned about the aging of many of the leaders, especially on the Dem side right now. I have been disappointed by Biden's lack of awareness and thus not showing the country a new group of young, moderate leaders are being prepared to take over and keep the country between the rails It just seems there are plenty of young, crazy repubs., and dems have all the oldsters walking around making no sense sometimes and fervently holding positions that should have been passed to a younger leaders 2 cycles ago. Your thoughts on this?
Why hasn't Republican attorney Cleta Mitchell been indicted?
Why hasn't Republican attorney Cleta Mitchell been indicted? Mitchell was an active participant during the Saturday call with Trump. She complained to Raffensperger that she asked for voting records from his office but hadn't received them. She also claimed that more than 4,000 people voted in Georgia despite having moved out of the state. On the call, Raffensperger's general counsel, Ryan Germany, said that the data was incorrect. NPR
