...or is this all really happening?
Look at who has been elected to office in this country. Presidents, House and Senate. Are these people the best that we can find?
Are there really any elections actually going on anymore? Then one must wonder, when was the last election which was actually legitimate?
Sometimes I look at what is going on in the world and wonder if any of it is real, or have I been secretly, without my knowledge, cast in a horrible movie. Any of y'all ever seen the movie, The Truman Show starring Jim Carrey? Am I Truman?

I've seen The Manchurian Candidate, that certainly seems to fit at times.

10 years ago if you heard what’s true today it would be fake back then. On your face corruption has really lowered the bar now.

At least people are talking about it now. Finally waking up thanks to Trump.

Nothing personal but I hope neither Biden nor Trump run. If they do it is just going to be an election against the opposite person. Both are extreme, we need a middle person to bring this country back together. AND I dam sure dont want Biden to die within the next 13 months!!!!......jk

No one is put into power that is not supposed to be. For whatever reason, things have to happen to get to the end result. Our owners manual from above tells us.

I couldn't disagree more. Trump was a Democrat for the majority of his life. He is far from extreme. Just because he opposes the, totally off the rails, ideologies of the current regime in charge doesn't make him an extremist. Good grief, as soon as there is an option other than Trump on the conservative side, what do you suppose the media will do to him/her? I will tell you, they will be the "new" Hitler. I, suspect, this is why the polls are becoming more favorable for Trump.

The liberal left voters are so far different mentally from the vast majority of us, they are like a different species. Just look at how the LGBTQs and Women for Reproductive Rights, who vehemently support abortion, rabidly support Hamas and Palestine, who are against their values enough to slaughter them for practising them. The liberal left has virtually no ability to think logically. They run on emotion and feelings, with very little mental connection to reality.

Trump is extreme? Trump is a lot of things, but extreme sure isn't one of them. Trump is far too liberal. He's controversial, egotistical, narcissistic, outspoken, often juvenile... but extreme? Not even close.

That said, it appears the only options are going to be Trump or Biden.

I could have definitely gotten behind DeSantis as President but it's apparently not what most conservatives want. There's no one else in the running I'd consider to be more suitable than Trump.

Rudy did not do well with the jury .Fox did not either . I would like to think otherwise but reality says over half of our country is way left of center . What would we expect ,we are a nation of urban wussies that think corn flakes came from Bill Gates computer .

Around here, a camo hat has about the same effect.

Trump in the only character in this movie who is playing himself. Everyone else are actors, but none of them will be up for an Emmy.
What in the world is "a middle person"? How can that "middle" person ever gain any traction in this political environment?
To me, "a middle person" is, by definition, middle of the road type of person, not committed to anything.
I do not think that we need that right now, since that defines 80% of all current politicians. How is that working out for us?
Ronald Reagan once spoke of the need for the Republican party to portray itself in bold colors, not pastel colors. This statement is as important today than ever.
No one has to guess what is on Trump's mind. When he was running the first time around, he made some very bold promises, and kept almost all of them in spite of all of the lies, deceit, and criminal malfeasance conducted by the Justice Department, corrupt and complicite media, all Democrats, and and some Republicans. I don't know if he can fix the mess we are in during his third term, but I cannot think of anyone else who would have any chance of success whatsoever.
Yes, to me, it is personal.
