Donald Trump

A Letter to Donald Trump

April 16, 2020 by Stephen Altschuler Leave a Comment

Dear Donald John Trump, 

Please resign now as President and hand over the reins of your office to your veep Mike Pence. It makes sense. Polls indicate you will probably lose the next election by a considerable margin; your approval ratings are beginning to slip badly, the stock market is down; the economy is down and in recession, heading towards a depression; your business empire needs your full attention. And remember Nixon chose to resign to avoid the embarrassment of an impeachment conviction. You should resign, sir, if for no other reason than to avoid the embarrassment of a landslide defeat at the hands of the Democrats. Resignation will preserve your legacy at this point, avoiding any further smears. Think of it: you’ll have time to hone your golf game even more, build your businesses for enduring success, and be remembered as the President who did the right thing for America. With your grandchildren in tow, you can ease into older age, your memories as President and your reputation intact. 

So please Mr. President, resign and put elections and Coronavirus briefings and the media and the tanking economy behind you. It’s the right, and honorable ,thing to do.

Thank you, sir, for your attention.

Taking Back Our Country

It’s a strategy the Republicans used  when they beat Eric Cantor in the primary, one of their own but not conservative enough, in 2014. Cantor, House Majority Leader and seemingly unbeatable, was vulnerable in one particular area: immigration reform. And the keyword Tea Party Republicans latched onto was amnesty. Cantor was for it, but voters in his Virginia district were not. Nobody saw it coming when an obscure, bland economics professor from an equally obscure college in his district beat Cantor, quite handily, on that issue alone. Shockwaves reverberated throughout the halls of Congress as Eric Cantor tumbled back to his old banking position in the private sector.

Now in Wisconsin a similar race is shaping up pitting powerful Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, who won his race by 35 percentage points in 2016, with ironworker turned congressional candidate Randy Bryce, a Democrat. Bryce seems to be attacking Ryan broadside with no particular issue as hot button as amnesty, but he is definitely attracting attention. Can he find Ryan’s vulnerabilities? He seems to think so, pointing out Ryan’s lack of visibility in conducting town hall meetings during the Fourth of July recess with the Trumpcare vote pending in the Senate, his advocacy relationship with a very unpopular Donald Trump, and a “mean, mean” (Trump’s words) version of a Republican health care bill, passed in the House under Ryan’s auspices. The First Congressional District in southeastern Wisconsin is generally not happy with Paul Ryan these days.

Randy Bryce, on the other hand, is a perfect foil to Ryan. He is a full time, longtime ironworker, with a mother who has cancer in fear of losing [Read more…] about Taking Back Our Country
