“Trump Is an Obvious Disaster”
With all the revolting developments unfolding in U.S. politics on a daily basis, perhaps the only thing to actually like is events that come out of deep, deep left field, like this one:
White nationalist chieftain Richard Spencer says MAGA/alt-right is over? Trump is an obvious disaster? Endorses Biden?
How this could actually help Biden remains to be seen. How many Klansmen will vote for a party that endorses Black Lives Matter? Four?
In any case, last month it was “Hail, Trump!” Now it’s this? I’d sure like to meet whomever saw that one coming.
John S. McCollister is a Republican state senator in the Nebraska Legislature, representing an Omaha district.
Yes, it’s true that half of the speakers at the Republican National Convention have “Trump” surnames, but what about the other half?
Richard Rohr is an American author, spiritual writer, and Franciscan friar, ordained to the priesthood in the Roman Catholic Church in 1970. PBS has called him “one of the most popular spirituality authors and speakers in the world.”
A Trump spokesperson said recently, “I think you take a look at the great people that President Trump has surrounded himself with, some of the brilliant women and some of the brilliant leaders that we have within this administration. And I would say that overall the president has had a very good track record of hiring excellent people.” 
FWIW, I believe the principle expressed at left is what will drive the 2020 presidential election. To wit, there must be 10 times more people who voted for Trump in 2016 voting for Biden this year than people crossing in the opposite direction.
In the last four years, 16 million Americans reached their 18th birthday, including 3.2 million Hispanics. Now, unfortunately, Trump has almost 30% support from LatinX voters, which is astonishing given that he has done everything conceivable to anger them.
Yes, let’s institutionalize virtual political conventions. Reinvesting the monetary savings in public education, cleantech R&D, cancer research, debt reduction, stay-in-school programs, infrastructure, college scholarships, summer camps for the underprivileged, whatever. Just pick one. Or eleven.
I can’t imagine what passers by would do to my house if I were to have this sign on my front yard, but I won’t be finding out.
