Opus 2024-406: The Plural of Impressed

Most people have heard the saying, “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.”  It certainly applies to the nomination of candidates for Attorney General.  We knew that the change we want is going to be hard to bring about.  What we couldn’t have been sure of was how well prepared Donald Trump is for the battle this time around.

I was impressed with his first choice.  Matt Gaetz gets my vote.  I liked what he had to say, and who he was.  The fact that I liked him is probably consistent with how widely opposed he was by Rinos and the deep state Talking Heads.  I was impressed even more at the way in which he stepped aside.  Such dignity.  Such class.  Such statesmanship.  There was no whining, no complaining, no woe is me.  There was nothing but a mature concession that the game was stacked against him and although he thought he might win in the long run, the Trump mandate didn’t have the time to wait.  And then on top of that he heaped praise upon the person that Trump picked to replace him.

I was impressed.

I was also impressed with the fact that Donald Trump has done his homework.  He didn’t walk into this all story-eyed and idealistic.  He knew what he was up against.  He was prepared.  Almost immediately he had a second choice ready to go and from everything I’m hearing she is a very impressive candidate.  So it is all very impressive.  We can have hope that things will work out as we watch the process unfold.  Trump knows who he’s dealing with.  He seems to be ready.  I would guess that he has three or four levels of candidates ready to go in case the GOP would continue to block him.  Of course, that could never happen.  But I think this time he’s ready anyway.

I wait to be impressed again.
