1. Saying "over 20 years ago" as it relates to presidents is saying almost nothing. 2. Clinton was 30 years ago and not the last governor to become president. 3. I think you meant George W Bush, who was President "over 20 years ago." 4. Carter, Reagan, Clinton, and Bush were all governors and became president in my lifetime. 5. The only group of candidates more successful are Vice Presidents becoming president -Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Bush Sr, Biden. 6. The only presidents who were neither governor nor VP in my lifetime were Obama and Tr*mp. BTW: totally agree about DeSantis' shortcomings.
There seem to me to be a couple of factual errors here? Unless your definition of ages is kinda shorter than most. But Clinton definitely was not the last governor to win...
1. My point is what was relevant then isn't relevant now. In 2000 we were still using landline phones and the X-Files was still on air. 2. Dang it, I was referring to his reelection. 3. Dang it x2 and this why I should stop posting late at night. Still though, 20 years is a long time.
Yes, I messed up. Partially typing this while being up late, while also keeping an eye on the kettle. Either way, I'm skeptical of DeSantis for a variety of reasons, him being a governor isn't top of the list.
Hey now. It’s been three Presidents since 4 out of 5 Presidents were former governors. Practically a lifetime
I randomly thought to check in on Quisling last night to see which of the 'influences' had signed on to the new anti-anti-anti trump talking points
So this is why trump entered politics. “The former president amplified the meme suggesting that he risked his wealth and the safety of his "warm and loving family" by entering politics to fight global poverty and end ritualized child abuse in a clear embrace of the right-wing QAnon conspiracy theory. "What does he get out of this?" asks the post, originally shared by a user called God_Bless_Trump. "Does he want to make the U.S./world a better place for his family and for those good and decent people who have long been taken advantage of? Perhaps he could not stomach the thought of mass murders occurring to satisfy Moloch? Perhaps he could not stomach the thought of children being kidnapped, drugged, and raped while leaders/law enforcement of the world turn a blind eye?"
I am the most altruistic President ... no, Person in the history of the world. And it's not even close. (in Trump's voice)
I don't envy those of you who are young enough to have descendants 40 years from now who won't believe you when you try to explain these times. Thankfully I'll be dead.
RIP I’ll remember this post when I explain the anomaly that was trump and the GQP to my great, great grandkids. I will be using Germany from 1933 to 44 as an analogy. Hoping that they still learn that stuff in school.
