I have a rule for myself that I’ve followed for a long time. I’m not going to be forced into a decision that I might not normally make.
For example when Salmon Rushdie was threatened by Iran with death thousands rushed out to buy his book, The Satanic Verses in a show of solidarity.
I didn’t
My thought was this. If the Iranians did nothing would I be interested in this book? The answer was no. So I decided that buying the book in response to Iranian threats was just allowing these terrorists to dictate my actions and I wasn’t about to do that.
Which brings us to the Trump indictment.
If it in fact happens it will be a reflection on the idiocy of NY voters who apparently have no issue with being victims of violent crime and allowing themselves to be victimized by criminals as long as political goals are reached.
It further reflects on Bragg who apparently has no interest in protecting the citizens of the city but in fairness
- He ran on a platform of “getting” Donald Trump
- He is bought and paid for by Soros
So if nothing else he is keeping his promise on this subject and giving his owner value for the dollars invested in him.
Put simply Bragg is a corrupt ass who doesn’t care about the people of NY or the future of this country as the precedent set by these actions are going to be very harmful.
All of these things are reasons to deplore the indictment of Donald Trump and the use of criminal justice system for political ends but all that being said none of these things are a credible arguments that Donald Trump is a better candidate for the GOP nomination than Ron DeSantis.
In fact the actions of Trump surrogates seem to be making the case that he is an inferior candidate to DeSantis. The blatant lies and calumnies being told about DeSantis by Christian conservatives is a reminder that Trump tends to fight like a Democrat.
Don’t get me wrong, there is a solid case to be made for Trump as the GOP nominee based mostly on his record as President which was better than any other 21st Century president to this point.
But Allen Bragg being an asshole and the Democrat run Justice department and NY criminal justice system being corrupt are not part of them. They are in fact the case for voting GOP in general not for voting Trump in particular.
Without a doubt if Donald J. Trump is the GOP nominee I will vote for him without hesitation, but if he wants my primary vote he is going to have to earn it by his arguments and actions. I’m not going to let some corrupt leftist drive my primary vote, I won’t cede him that power.

I was impressed with Desantis’ successes in Florida and his effective rhetoric when speaking extemporaneously to a hostile press. I was also heartened by his initial disavowal of our involvement in the Russo-Ukraine war. I am very disappointed to learn of his reversal of opinion on that issue. Trump has been consistently correct about this issue. Trump retains my support.
