GOP candidate on how to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine:



Ron Filipkowski

And there it is. Finally when a Republican candidate for president gets pinned down on how to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he admits that his solution is to give Putin everything he wants. Now do Trump.

In my opinion only, I think he’s too ethnic for most voters. And he’s just now popping up into the national consciousness. Anybody even heard of him before now? First time for me. There are loads more marquee names with years of track records in office and powerful reputations and levels of national prominence.

I think he’s destined to be road kill, one of the early political “casualties” early in 2024. I don’t see how he raises his profile enough to be realistically competitive.

11. True. From their point of view he is too brown and his name is weird.

He’s born and raised in Cincinnati, educated at Yale and Harvard and at 37, his net worth is 600 million. He says he’s an American Nationalist and rejects that “diversity is our strength”. Quite an article from www.npr.org May 19, 2023.

10. His running is a deliberate insult to the United States.

Anybody who’s never been elected to anything and starts by running for president has absolutely no respect for our government or the presidency. And he sounds like a Putin puppet. Does he think of himself as an American oligarch, I wonder
