Walker vs Warnock: A question and a suggestion.

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Walker is absolutely the next to the last person I would vote for.....it is a lesser of two evils situation so I have to hold my nose and vote for him despite what Rod and company thinks lol.  I think who is the last person I would vote for is implied.

Rich made a good point....this is what amounts to an obit thread. You could easily just have kept it about Mel and your thoughts about him. However, you chose to use it as an opportunity to bash on Rich. Not exactly in good taste given the topic. 

That said.... I liked Mel quite a bit, we stayed in touch, he was particularly fond of using me for a sounding board whenever Rod got under his skin which was fairly often lol.....I for one will miss him.

I did the same thing that you claim you did in bold - I voted for the lesser evil. We simply don't agree on who that was.

Donald Trump is a singularity in American Presidential politics, at least in my adult life. He is a sociopath and a narcissist at such a deep level that he cannot be trusted with the Presidency under any circumstance because of the great damage that is possible to our country. I reluctantly voted for Clinton, someone that I hold little in common with politically, because I knew bad policies are easier to correct down the road than evil-doing. You don't agree with me, but you mischaracterize my motives.

Now to Rod. You ask a great question: How in the world can I vote for DeSantis given his behavior. Simple - I have zero evidence that he is either a sociopath or a narcissist, particularly to the criminal level of a Donald Trump. He's just a skilled politician IMO that sees the numbers inside the current GOP and he realizes he isn't going anywhere by pissing off Trump voters. I can overlook a lot of his flaws as a candidate that bother me because he isn't crazy or a criminal. 

If Donald Trump runs and is nominated, I will again go to war against him. Everything he has done since becoming President has only reinforced the concerns I had in 2016 and more,  but make no mistake - I am at war with Trump, not conservative principles.  Trump is a very dangerous psychopath. Ron DeSantis is not. I may cringe on occasion but I would happily support DeSantis.


While I dont particularly agree with your position on Trump....I do think there is simply too much controversy and water under the bridge with him. Desantis on the other hand we agree on 100%......He will get my vote regardless of who runs against him.
