For the most part, politicians are very flawed individuals. The money and power of the political system are too enticing for many of these people to resist, and the longer they are in the game, the larger the temptation. That is a solid reason for term limits, but that is the topic for another day. We cannot say that the enticements corrupt all politicians, but I hope that there are some with the moral character to stay on the path and leave as clean as they entered. I would be tremendously disappointed if Jim Jordan (R-OH), Claudia Tenney (R-NY), or Elise Stefanik (R-NY) were ever implicated in any wrongdoings. There is virtually no presidential term that no members of Congress are indicted and found guilty of offenses ranging from Tax Issues to Spousal Abuse.

I have no issues voting for Donald Trump after his conviction, especially with the entire legal process corrupted from indictment to trial and finally to the jury decision. With the eventual reversal of the conviction and sentence by either an appellate or the Supreme Court, this charade was just done to bruise Trump before the election. This fiasco is an excellent example of election interference perpetrated by the Executive branch and the Justice Department. The mainstream media will continue their orgasmic reaction to The outcome of the Hush Money Case, but Trump will have the final laugh with increased ratings and windfall contributions. The traffic to Trump’s official site was so robust that the website crashed for a short time after the case.

On the flip side, Biden and the Democrats hoped the Trump conviction would divert attention from the issues negatively impacting Biden’s favorability numbers. Unfortunately for Biden, the pain of his lousy policies is too great for a historic happening to assuage. The election is five months away, but Democrats are getting very anxious, and talk of a replacement candidate is increasing. Many Democrat contributors on MSNBC and CNN do not see Biden as the candidate at the August convention in Chicago. He does not deserve to be.

Whether by replacement or loss to Trump in November, Biden/Harris should be a one-term nightmare. Whether his age or continuous anti-American decisions, his performance has assured him of leading the pack of the worst presidents in our history. There is no comparison between the damage done to America with anywhere between 11 and 30 million illegals crossing our border and a payoff to pornstar by Trump. People are far more damaged by the wild inflation caused by Biden’s big spending legislative successes or Bidenomics than any bogus fraud charges that New York has fabricated on Trump. Trump is proving to be the most resilient President and Presidential candidate. The Biden team is trying to break Trump’s spirit or drain his checkbook, and nothing they try is doing either.

Trump may owe Biden a big thank you for all of his failed efforts of a weaponized government. Biden has stirred up the Republicans, and people that were on the fence or never voted for Trump are clamoring to join the MAGA movement. Biden may be confining Trump in various courtrooms, but the outcome may be that Trump will sit behind the resolute desk come January. Trump has earned that second term, and for the America that Biden left for him, we need a Trump second term more.
