Vote, We're Counting on You

Pressure is building. Nikki Haley is expected to announce her candidacy on February 15^th. Kari Lake is heading to Iowa. It’s a little known fact that the chief source of tourism for Iowa is presidential aspirations. When Margaret Brennan, from Face the Nation on CBS, asked Ted Cruz, Senator from Texas, if he were running for President in 2024, he said he was running for the Senate, but he never said he wasn’t going to run for president, he probably needs a plan b.

Asa Hutchinson is suspected of gearing up for a run, Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, never stops trying to be more Trump than the Donald. Toss in Senator Tim Scott, Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, and odd rumors of Glenn Youngkin, Governor of Virginia and sort of an apprentice Ron DeSantis, and possibly Jared and Ivanka, or Don junior or Eric. There are even a few rumors floating around about Fox anchor person Tucker Carlson jumping into the mix. It’s beginning to look like a clown car collision on DC Beltway.

Through it all, we’ve had the two true contenders, Micky and Donald.

Two giants of entertainment. It is the clash of the titans, a professional wrestling cage match, the Superbowl of republican primaries.

In one corner, if you don’t mind switching from a football reference to a boxing metaphor, you have Donald. A guy who lost to Joe Biden and got fewer votes than Hillary Clinton. A man who can’t keep a wife, a serial bankruptcy filer, whose idea of excitement is a round of golf with the guys. Golf? Really?

Facing him is Micky. A candidate whose never lost an election. Micky has never been divorced or filed for bankruptcy. Micky doesn’t have any golf equipment, and they won’t let him anywhere near the local country clubs. Micky’s idea of a real man’s sport is fishing… Fishing?!?! Well, we’ll call that a draw.

With Micky you get Phil, one of the most beloved characters in the warehouse. A man drawn to people, a natural charmer with a quick smile and an endless supply of interesting anecdotes about life. He would, when called upon, be able to dine with foreign dignitaries and statesman without being dull or tepid. Phil has a reputation, around the loading dock, of being a fairly good dancer, we don’t know if anybody dances at important international soirees, but Micky’s administration is ready. Plus, he is quite handy, so he could help fix things around the White House. He would be willing to bring his own tools and wouldn’t charge extra.

Who knows what kind of yahoo Trump will pick as his running mate. Some stiff like Pence? What does Pence know about doing the robot? Or fixing a robot? Here’s a scary thought, what if Trump chose Kari Lake as his running mate, and they lost the general election? Think of the endless whining sound, it would blanket the south from Arizona to Florida. Just thinking about it chills the blood.

Vote for Micky and Phil, the more you think about it, it just makes sense.
