Four things worth considering ...

... "I" think, anyway.

1) Both Donald Trump and President Biden are two damn old to govern effectively.

2) Neither can lead ALL Americans. For whatever reason floats your boat these men divide Americans and have no hope or, maybe, desire to unite U.S.

3) Given that, in every election since 2016 EVERY time Americans get a chance to vote for anything to do with Trump, they vote against or vote it down.

4) Which in spite of the "polls" that (#3) could (and IMHO should) equate to Donald Trump losing the nomination. Which (IMHO) would be a good thing.

That's it. This morning over coffee while catching up on world news my wife said something that spawned that train of thought.

Then I said, the Country needs a leader that CAN lead ALL Americans. We can't survive many more years of this current divisiveness. (And here's the kicker) I said, "hell I would vote for Nikky Haley if she stated talking like a leader for ALL America". My wife spit coffee and almost fell out of her chair, but then said, "you should if that's how you feel". I'm dead serious we need to become the UNITED States, before we have nothing left to unite.

 

Well, as long as for-profit media make big bucks by selling the divisive agenda, no unifying candidate will have a chance.

 

You may be right. But for the sake of These United States, I hope not.

 

I hope Trump isn't the GOP nominee

 

You won’t become United whilst a section of your society is blaming the other for every imagined ill in the world. <Mod Edit>

 

I can guarantee one thing - he definitely would restrict guns. He is talking like a fascist and they do not like armed citizens

 

well he might he might not but I know well how his justices have voted compared to Clinton/Obama/Biden's picks and Trump justices are far far better on that topic

 

Great post! One thing, WE THE PEOPLE don't need a president to unite, they come and go! We just need to find common ground and unite with one another!

 

They were the pick of the Federalist Society, tRaitor tRump has got the brains to pick his nose.

 

However it happens. But have President's that divide Americans, either because like tRaitor tRump purposely, or as in President Biden's case because of his perceived faults, Americans need a leader that can bring us together.

 

I've said before, neither trump or biden will be on the 2024 ballot.
Wait and see.
I'd vote for Nikki Haley.
Be nice to vote FOR a candidate for once.

 

who do you think is smarter-Trump or Biden

 

Expecting (or hoping) for a presidential candidate to 'unite" Americans is extremely foolish.

 

President Biden, hands down.

Who can manipulate and influence people, tRaitor tRump, unquestionably

 

Why, we've had them before; several of them. I didn't say that was the only thing that could possibly untie America, but I do believe having a leader that the majority of Americans unite behind, for a change, would be wonderful.

 

Read your post and mine again, you are already looking for divide because of some boob called a president.

Really bro, such a beautiful post and you couldn't Make it an hour without stepping all over it..

You'd make a great politician for sure

 

Ironic you accuse Trump of traitorism while Biden is kissing Xi's ass like a moon struck teenager.

 

You're reading it to make a point not to understand my point of view.

Reading your post from my point of view is you're being divisive. We have had many presidents that were fine men and great leaders. I see no reason we couldn't find someone with charisma to lead Americans.

Sitting around wringing our hands waiting for that person, isn't ALL we can do. But in the past Americans have always looked to the President to lead us.

Washington
Jefferson
Madison
Lincoln
T. Roosevelt
F. Roosevelt
Eisenhower
Kennedy
Reagan
Clinton

We're over due.

The right leader, right now; could make a huge difference.

 

I didn't see the Biden/Xi summit that way. But you've made my point, a majority of America is not predisposed to unite behind either man.

 

The main problem is the people who think politics is based on likes or clicks on social media, do not understand the issues and react emotionally, too damn impatient, a complete lack of ignorance about how our government actually works, do not want to discuss policy, do not accept results from elections, and the list goes on. What you are explaining are the symptoms of a much deeper, larger issue within our population. It is not about age or leading, it is about ignorance on a very grand scale.

 

You ignore the obvious. Half those presidents you listed were widely detested while in office.

 

Chinese ships and aircraft our harassing and endangering our ships and aircraft in international waters and airspace.

 

Okay, which ones? Care to list?

 

Kinda of hard to do with compromise is a four letter word in politics these days.

 

Jefferson

Lincoln


F. Roosevelt

Kennedy
Reagan
