5. No candidate will be perfect

Sat Jul 27, 2024, 12:37 PM

Jul 2024

I think I'd with happy with almost all of the candidates mentioned. None of them are going to be perfect. I'm hoping for a younger candidate who can be energetic in giving speeches. I don't want someone boring.

The school voucher issue is a very old concept (that I am against). It's not a "project 2025" thing. It's just one old issue among many that they added in.

Whether it was Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and others, there were always issues I disagreed with. We used the Democratic party apparatus to keep those issues from becoming law.
