ndrosenI am not happy with most of the Democratic politicians who are seeking their party’s presidential nomination. They are proclaiming their intention to enact various far-left policies, with enormous new federal spending programs as well as other intrusions into private business, which distresses me for two reasons.
One reason is that one of these people may actually win the nomination and the election, and then succeed in accomplishing a substantial part of what she or he promises, which I oppose. The other is that one of these people may win the nomination, and contribute to Dishonest Donald serving a second term, and not in federal prison. Some conservatives and moderates may dislike our Orange Overlord, but nonetheless vote for him if the alternative is what would have been regarded as a left-wing extremist a few years ago.
I wish that some major candidate were running on a platform of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and respect for the Constitution; unfortunately, our politics have become highly polarized, and that is not one of the two poles.
