Echo from Alaska - GOP must put up a new 2020 potus candidate!
I connected with Allen Jorgenson’s letter of Nov. 15, “Directionless GOP.” * (see referenced letter below)
The behavior of President Donald Trump threatens the security of the nation. From what I have read, seen and heard, he is a poor manager at best and perhaps an unknowing agent of a foreign power at worst. It seems that so many Republican officials are in lockstep with him but he “doth protest too much.” Case in point: Why won’t he show us his taxes?
Happiness, to me, would be to have the GOP put up a new candidate for president in 2020. The GOP has $300 million available in its 2020 election coffers to spread among senators and Congress members up for election. I’ve heard that those who were supportive of Donald Trump and his policies over the past four years will receive funding at a higher priority than those who did not. Makes it kind of hard for another candidate — or other issues — to emerge, or for elected officials to express opposition to Donald Trump if they want to get reelected.
This president spends a couple of days a month at rallies raising money for the GOP OP — his reelection. I have seen short clips of his “show” because he is foremost an entertainer. These events are part of American democratic traditions, but his visual images, message and manner are reminiscent of past authoritarian dictators. Trump is the schoolyard bully I scrapped with when I was a kid. Once I stood up to him, even though I got a bloody nose, he went away and left me alone.
I think Donald Trump needs to go.

*It’s dizzying. Donald Trump, the con artist I voted for, declaring he is literally above the law, can’t be indicted, and that there is a “political” process, impeachment, to remedy any wrongs.
The Democrats then answer by beginning impeachment. Republicans then shift gears, quickly dismiss impeachment itself as flawed because of it being “political.” Republicans shift smoke and mirror strategies again, declaring the impeachment process invalid because it was not officially voted on.
Then, once it was voted on, the complaint rapidly changed and became “no transparency, because it’s not public.” Then, when Democrats announce public hearings, our president says they should not be allowed to take place (get ready) “in public.”
Republicans said for weeks there was no quid pro quo, and if there was, that would be a big issue, damning, deeply troubling! Then they admitted on live television there unequivocally was — then declared in the same long breath that “this is done all the time.”
I am embarrassed for my party. There is no Democratic National Committee server hidden away in the Ukraine. And the moon landing really did occur. And Barack Obama really was born in Hawaii. And the Sandy Hook massacre really happened. And the Republican Party, sadly, has become a rudderless, shameless cult subjugating itself to a single amoral personality. We deserve the beating we are about to take. — Allen Jorgenson Anchorage
