Dems, cross your fingers for Trump as GOP nominee

Here are some of Donald Trump’s accomplishments:

Tax breaks for the rich.

Run up of the national debt more than any president past or present.

He alienated many of our NATO allies.

He cozied up to leaders of Russia and North Korea.

He made derogatory remarks about Native Americans, Mexican Americans and African Americans.

He refused to denounce white supremacists who spread hatred.

In his conduct toward women, he treats them more as objects than human beings.

Prior to becoming president, he received five deferments from military service. As president he then criticized a man who served and then spent five years in a prisoner of war camp.

Democrats should hope that Trump gets the Republican nomination. Many Democrats feel President Biden has done a good job, but it is time to ride off into the sunset. However, they and many Native Americans, Mexican Americans and African Americans and military personnel who proudly served, will come out in droves, if Trump is the Republican nominee.

So, as in 2020, Trump will cause his own defeat. In addition, this time he is fighting legal battles. If the average American had done the things he is accused of, they would have been convicted and locked up with the key thrown away.

Democrats should hope that Trump is the nominee of the Republican Party.
