An Editorial Opinion

Potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidates, here is my simple Labor Day message for you:

If you are not publicly and consistently challenging Donald Trump's political agenda of government-sponsored terrorism, cruelty, and degradation of human rights every day with a full-court press, I am not supporting you.
If you are on your knees administering political fellatio to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu until he ejaculates AIPAC cash into your campaign coffers, I am not supporting you.
If you are unwilling to do whatever it takes to deliver Netanyahu -- a designated war criminal, genocidal thug, and fugitive from justice -- to the International Criminal Court at The Hague, I am not supporting you.
If you are unwilling, as president, to convene immediate Nuremberg-like tribunals for the purpose of prosecuting Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, Tom Homan, Pete Hegseth, Emil Bove, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Marco Rubio, Tulsi Gabbard, and other sycophants who aided and abetted Trump's reign of terror, lawlessness, and crimes against humanity, I am not supporting you.
If you are unwilling to commence an immediate bribery and tax evasion investigation into Clarence Thomas's and Samuel Alito's long-running “pay-to-play” scheme at the U.S. Supreme Court, I am not supporting you.
If you are unwilling to arrest and prosecute the army of known, rich, powerful, and politically connected Jeffrey Epstein child molesters, child rapists, and child pornographers, I am not supporting you.
If you are a weak-kneed, made for TV, political eunuch, I am not supporting you.
If you are incapable of leading decisively to get America out of the ditch that Trump's unhinged presidential joyrides drove her into, I am not supporting you.

As an independent voter, I don't want or need a weak, pretentious, airhead representing my political interests. I want a proven, tough, moderate, effective, and sane leader in the White House.

I view presential candidates like applicants for a CEO job. As such, I tell those who want my vote what credentials are required for the job. If they can’t meet the credentials, it’s not my fault. I am hiring the candidate; they are not hiring me. I require all candidates to learn what I expect in the CEO job. They either can do the job that I want, or they can’t. I’m not looking for a bosom buddy; I’m looking for a highly qualified CEO. One thing I know for sure is this: Any presidential candidate who is on his/her knees administering political fellatio to a foreign leader cannot adequately represent my policial interests.

Given the blatant conduct demonstrated by the present leadership at the Whitehouse, I don't see among the list of Democratic candidates defeating the president in 2028. I'm speaking of President Trump. He is likely to seek a third term despite the fact that he would have served two terms.

As far each Democratic hoping to defeat Trump in 2028, I see Governor Wes Moore of Maryland not only as a vibrant presidential candidate but energetic, young and one who will unite America for the sake of making a more perfect union.

Unless any of the listed Demoncratic candidates are overwhelmingly connected with the status quo, they will in no way trounce Trump in 2028.

I agree with every word. Do you have any idea at this point who might come closest to meeting your superb criteria?

It's too early to tell. At this juncture, Gavin Newson may be the candidate with the best chance of winning the Democratic Primary in 2028 and defeating Trumpism in the General Election, assuming Trump leaves office. We'll see how it plays out. If the candidate is NOT an ass-kicker, I am NOT supporting him/her. I am sick and tired of weak-kneed politicians running for president.
