Well, the bad news is that it looks very much like a short march to the nomination for Donald Trump.

I just read a piece in the New York Times from columnist Zeynep Tufekci entitled, “The Appeal of an American Strongman.” 

Remember watching the January 6th Committee hearings and thinking, “Well, Trump is toast?” 

My family watched Cronkite every night while we ate dinner on tray tables and in 1963, we watched as police set fire hoses, dogs, and billy clubs on civil rights protestors. In no uncertain terms, my dad said we couldn’t be for that.

It “will be wild.” That’s what Donald Trump told his supporters about his January 6, 2021, rally in Washington. And he was right.

Happy New Year! I just realized that this year is an election year. That’s because the guy who runs my PAC reminded me.
