So GOP, About the Next Democratic President [View all]

Eventually (and no doubt sooner than you think), we will again have a Democratic president.

I’d just like to know if the same standards you have applied to Donald Trump will be applied to the next (D) president.

If the next (D) president is proven to have cheated workmen out of their pay when building his “empire”, students out of money paid to his fake university, collected money for “charity” that he used to pay personal debts, will you dismiss those things as irrelevant?

If the next (D) president is a thrice-married, self-proclaimed pussy-grabber, will you declare him a good Christian who was chosen by God to lead a nation?

If the next (D) president hands classified information to the Russians in a “closed meeting” in the Oval Office, will you claim he has a right to “declassify” information whenever he feels like it?

If the next (D) president is documented as lying to the American public an average of five times a day, will you simply ignore it?

If the next (D) president, his campaign personnel, advisors and family members have multiple meetings/communications with our enemies (like Russia, for example) and they all lie about it until confronted with the proof thereof, will you denounce any investigations into those facts as a “witch-hunt” and demand they be shut down?

If the next (D) president “tweets” misspelled, ungrammatical, and totally inane messages on a regular basis, will you say he’s being “presidential”?

If the next (D) president requires his daily briefings to be reduced to a single page of bullet points, and continually demonstrates his complete ignorance of how our government works, will you insist it’s unimportant because he’s “new at the job”?

If the next (D) president spends his days watching TV and “tweeting”, will you praise his “hard work on behalf of the people”? What about spending 25% of his time on the golf course – same answer?

If the next (D) president accuses his predecessor of illegally wire-tapping him with no proof whatsoever, will you just shrug it off and pretend it didn’t happen?

If the next (D) president appoints totally inexperienced people to his Cabinet and advisory positions, will you remain silent?

If the next (D) president insults our allies and constantly praises our enemies (Putin comes to mind), will you say it’s of no consequence?

If the next (D) president does everything to appeal to his “base” while giving no regard to the citizenry as a whole, will you refuse to criticize him?

If the next (D) president invites his daughter to represent the US at international meetings, will you just look the other way? How about tasking his no-political-experience-whatsoever son-in-law with solving problems like unrest in the Middle East, government reform, opioid crisis management, criminal justice reform – and more? Will you find that acceptable?

If the next (D) president uses his position as POTUS to make money for his personally-owned businesses, will you look the other way?

If the next (D) president pardons his political cronies, and even inquires into whether he can pardon himself of crimes he may commit while in office, will you refuse to even acknowledge it?

Most importantly, when the next (D) president is elected, will you declare that we should ALL support him, no matter what?

I just wanted to make sure we’re on the same page. I would hate to think you have one set of rules for an (R) president and another for a (D) president. That would mean you are hypocrites with absolutely no regard for the well-being of the nation, and are more than willing to put party above country.

You wouldn’t want to be seen as unpatriotic hypocrites, would you?

Yeah, right ...
