My Point of View by Robert Hoffman

President Trump will be re-elected in the next few weeks. The left will not take it well. They will riot again putting their Minneapolis Floyd riots, their Defund the Police protests and their “Jan. 6” boogie monster to shame with what they will do after President Trump’s re-election this year. It will be worse than the largest single day protest in the history of the United States that occurred on Jan. 21, 2017, the day after President Trump’s inauguration, which included rioting, arson and civil resistance.

The Harris and Walz campaign was a lost at sea campaign from the start with two very unqualified candidates that were set adrift not by any elections at all but by a very questionable process of picking a candidate the voters were told to support versus campaigning for the candidates the voters chose. This is in sharp contrast to the excitement behind the Donald J. Trump and JD Vance ticket that the Republicans chose to be their presidential and vice-presidential candidates. Having a base of supporters who can think for themselves, prefer to be left alone and support smaller government is why Republicans are choosing Trump and JD’s common sense over Kamala and Walz’s communism.

JD Vance is the breath of fresh air that politics needed. JD is the balance the United States needed on the Trump ticket. President Trump’s America-first policies are perfect for our country on the rebound of failures by the Harris and Biden administration (Minnesota can relate as a state plagued by Tim Walz.) JD offers a calm, down-to-earth leadership that will make America great again during his many years ahead in elected leadership.

Many minds were made up about who they would support for president a long time ago (many minds were actually made “for people” too by pushing through Kamala without her ever even receiving a vote in her support to be their candidate.) My mind was made up right away. It was easy. As a very active community member and small business owner, I enjoyed President Trump’s first term in office. We all then went through hell these last four years under the Harris and Biden administration (and Walz in Minnesota.) Inflation, an out-of-control border crisis and wars are the legacy of the left.

Walz did far worse to Minnesota and would clearly allow his far-left progressive problems to become those of an entire country if he was allowed to. If let off of his leash, Walz would change the face of the country faster than he spent the billions he overtaxed us and quicker than he changed our state’s flag. It is fantastic that the national media has not given Tim Walz the pass that he has been granted in Minnesota and that we have had a chance to see how weird this governor really is. Minnesota hasn’t looked this stupid since 1984’s Regan over Mondale election where we were literally the only state to vote for the candidate that lost.

A lot of people wisely took a step back and compared these last two terms, contrasting President Trump’s four years he served and these last four years of the Harris and Biden administration.

Without question, you can look at each candidate and see almost exactly how they will serve. President Trump wants us to be safe and wealthy while Harris and Walz want you to rely on them and make them wealthy (common sense vs. communism.) Tim Walz’s Minnesota on fire and Kamala Harris’s California circling the drain are not two states the nation should look to as inspiration.

Again, President Trump will be re-elected and the left will not respond well to it. This is exactly one of the reasons he should be re-elected.

We need to be realistic about these next few weeks of the campaign and unfortunately the days that follow. As a country we are going to be better off after President Trump’s re-election. Many cities will pay the price of the left’s protests to follow and there will be a divide again between the far-left and the common-sense centered Republicans for a while, but everyday Americans just want to get back to work and be successful, not be burdened by what has been these last four years of the Harris and Biden administration.

It sounds weird when we say some of it out loud, but this has been quite the campaign. Looking back at the debates, interviews and news from these last months of campaigning, there really is a clear choice of who will be the better president and vice president for our country, and President Trump and JD Vance will serve us well. We still, however, have the last half of October to go, and that could be the most interesting of an already eventful campaign.
