Thanks, but I think I may have stolen it from someone here.....gotta give credit where credit is due.

They used to have "None of the Above" in Russia. If NOTA won, then they reran the election and none of the previous candidates were on the ballot.

Thanks, allosaur. I don't know who or why someone downvoted me on that one either. Acknowledging that a "government that governs least governs best" is a necessary but insufficient prerequisite to be a Gulcher.

A vote for an Independent would be better than "none of the above", but that would merely maintain the status quo.

It's a travesty that the American people let it get to this point, but there's little value in trying to put that genie back in the bottle.

What this country would need is a crisis, like another World War or an alien invasion (the OTHER aliens) where a strong, Constitutionally grounded, candidate might get us back on track.

"Cadaver-In-Chief"

+1 for my new favorite nickname!

+1 simply because someone gave you a zero for writing that. I don't get why.

I agree. Trump will never be perfect, but he doesn’t have to be, to be 100% better than any other choice.

Not True. He gave 2 Cogent Answers. The detailed answer on Roe showed he understood the nuances.
Also, his answer about the vaccine was MUCH better "I help get the vaccine done quickly. But THIS GUY MANDATED IT. And it's the MANDATES that people were upset about!"

I am sorry you did not notice those as direct answers. They were.

Where he could have done better: "Will you accept the results of the election?" (Certainly. Especially if the democrats accept the results of their Primaries!)

THAT would have been priceless!

Calling it “elder abuse” makes excuses for the inexcusable. And since the “debate,” we now see that the Cadaver-In-Chief is, of his own accord, DETERMINED to continue. So we can no longer call it “elder abuse,” (but I never thought it appropriate to do so).

"Should this inability to give up power be considered a mental disorder?" No. Realizing that there will always be looters and moochers is an unfortunate fact of life.

Many looters and many moochers are encouraging each other (mostly via illegal immigration) to gaslight producers like us. We don't want an armed revolution, but will it ever get bad enough that it will be necessary?

Should this inability to give up power be considered a mental disorder?

Has America reached a tipping point at which the inhabitants of the three branches and three million Federal employees need to de-control or face Revolution?

George Washington was that morally strong. Napoleon wanted to be that strong, but couldn't relinquish power. No one in federal government is that strong. It is hard for anyone in academia to be that strong either.

How morally strong must a man be to refuse the use of unearned and unwarranted power over others?

How many, who work for the Federal government (elected or hired), are that strong?

It is one of several requirements for someone worthy to be a Galt's Gulcher.

“That government is best which governs least” Source unclear.

Doesn't this define Galt's Gulch?

Like all disasters, you can never know what day is the day before. 2024 might be the last election in America if an election is held. Or a temporary suspension of the 22nd Amendment to allow Obama to rule for a third time.

This nation is so divided that I fear there will be major consequences, no matter who wins. I renewed my passport this week.

A "none of the above" choice signals what all Gulchers ought to like. There is no one better suited to ruling me than ... me!

Agreed. Trump was very different than in 2020. It is elder abuse for Jill and the Dems to allow Joe to continue to run. As to restraint, Trump did a classic when he said her didn't understand what Joe had said and didn't think Joe knew either.

Trump has apparently learned restraint during debates regarding comments that send liberals into an immediate panic.
Perhaps his intent is to make the election so one sided in his favor that cheating will be obvious even to the Traitors in the SCOTUS.
I do agree that there is no obvious candidate that is truly a defender of the Bill of Rights and constitutional limits on government power.
Ron Paul was a real gem.
Trump might be able to come close if he learns to listen to advisers who understand and support the constitution.

Sadly yes. Trump refused to answer any question directly. Biden doesn't know what planet he's on.
Any question of Individual Rights, Limited Government, and Laissez Faire Capitalism would stump both of them.

one more time
Trump is not perfect
he is NOT a life-long politician

he brought Peace to the World with the Abraham Accords

we are NOT choosing a Saint
we want someone that will fight and he has shown that he will

he could have just walked away and avoid all these fake legal issues

name someone better or STFU

no democrat is qualified, none, not one, same goes for 3rd party fools (green commie, RFKjr)
being a democrat or ex-democrat means you were a member of the party of traitors, so not qualified for ANY position in government

OH dear...you sound like you watched the debates last night!
