I'd draw the line at Coolidge myself. Although Eisenhower did "get things done" and Reagan had flair. Reagan was also part of the unofficial triumvirate that brought down the Soviet Union.

I'm probably not explaining this as well as I could have.

Assume (for the moment) that Trump is exactly what we need when we need it. Assume that he does exactly what needs to be done. He can't do it without expanding the power and reach of government, and he can't do it without expanding the power of the Executive Branch and the Presidency. After his second term, Trump rides off into sunset, a beloved hero and leader of historical proportions. Everything is better, the county is on the right path, or at least the path you approve.

What about the next President? What about two presidents later?

Do you think that the Democrats or their successors will be permanently banned? Even if it's a Republican, do you think they won't be tempted to push just a little bit harder? For the Greater Good?

The second amazing thing about the U.S. Constitution is that it restrains government. Nothing shows that better than the Bill of Rights. If you have to expand government to restrain it, is that really about "securing the blessings of liberty, for ourselves and our posterity?"

Getting back to None of the Above, why does there have to be a President? Or even a quorum in Congress for that matter? Is that not just as valid a choice as Democrat or Republican?

If it works for you, great.

I disagree with much of it, but tain't mine. As long as you don't demand I comply with your faith, I don't think we have a problem.

In my corporate clone days, there was a senior VP who was constantly pushing Trump. He tried to make The Art of the Deal required reading. Fortunately he wasn't the CEO. In dealing with that man, I had to learn a great deal about Trump and his history.

I don't get involved in that many threads beyond a comment or two. I usually don't respond to someone who has replied first unless I have a strong opinion one way or another. I do respond when someone replies to what I have posted. Truthfully I like debating and politics. Some would (and have) say obsessed. It's one of my darker passions. These days I try to do that in a good cause.

I don't like Biden. I wouldn't tell anyone to vote for him. But what is so bad about None of the Above?

Who said I was out to impress you?

And did I write more of the same? That would be boring.

""The best heroes are the ones who don't know they are heroes before they are needed and still choose standing between harm and another." — hero from my lexicon

"Too many people are into religion for the politics."

One of my pass-alongs.
