the umbrella under the republican tent is restless. There is a swath of anti fox news, anti hannity anti mitch McConnell etc.......the populist like Jessie are leading the charge in the undercurrent of disgust with the old guard. If you are pro Jessie then you should be voting trump,DeSantis. I dont understand Matt's reticence to say 1 good thing about the guy who wanted to clean up the swamp as much as we all do. War makes for strange bedfellows. The sayings been around awhile for a reason.

I’d say the “umbrella” under the Democratic tent is just as restless, which means that the time is now for a third-party candidate that enough of both sides like.

As far as your reference to the “the guy who wanted to clean up the swamp,” I’m not sure who you’re talking about. Are you talking about Trump? Gimme a break. If he had any interest in doing that, he would’ve done SOMEthing. Or at least TRIED to do something. Instead, all he did was maintain status quo Republican policy. He didn’t have any ideas, he just had slogans. All he cared about was getting elected; after that, he had nothing.

Trump is the one who supplied massive weapons to Ukraine in the first place just to intimidate the Ruskies. Some consider him a peace candidate, but they don't look too deeply into his record. He brought on Bolton and Pompeo. That speaks volumes.

Nah, dude, we’ve been supplying the Ukraine with weapons of war for decades. It’s what we do! Gotta keep that industrial-military complex cash flowing. How else would these politicians get elected..?

His hiring was awful but as a business owner he delegated most of the hiring to establishment types. Same mistake won't happen again

I think by design, we've made our presidents impotent. I vote for small business interests because im a small business owner. Soo, whoever will damage the economy the least. AND a socialist will hurt it, hell we have socialists running it now.

It appears to me that the problems in DC are so bureaucratic that no one man can fix it unless you had congress, 60 senate votes and a president will to destroy institutions.

I bought the book, thanks for the heads up. I just finished the great reset but could use something more scientific. Blackrock.....buying up millions of homes and renting them. One of my people actually live in one. Goldman Sachs just bought a whole neighborhood in Florida. My whole legacy is now trying to get my 3 boys self sufficient on our land. Larry fink said.
