No Trump, no Biden

-

Republican­s or Democrats might not like this. Americans will. It’s time for NTNB. No Trump, No Biden. Let that sink in. What if the 2024 presidenti­al election rolls around and those two names are not on the ballot?

Who would benefit from such a shocking proposal? Everybody.

Both political parties would be free to present new candidates. This time someone to vote for. Next winner, the news media. Over the last few years, it seems the media have proven they have no regard for ethics or truth. Profit and capturing an audience mean far more to company stockholde­rs. A whole new lineup of candidates to divide dim-witted viewers. Works great! Get rich. Ask any Fox or CNN news host.

Next winners are President Biden and former President Trump. Biden is ready to get out before he’s carried out on a stretcher; Trump, before he goes out in handcuffs for treason, or a long list of local, state and federal crimes.

Now is the time for NTNB. So how do we do it? How can we the people speak to a small handful of king-makers? There is an urgent need for pragmatic common-sense leadership. America is out of time, folks. Tomorrow we could be in one of four wars, or all at once. America’s enemies are empowered and tempted by our divisions. Many of our elected representa­tives swear proven lies are true. Where are our leaders? Self-serving liars can’t help us solve long-term complex problems. Have we surrendere­d common sense and truth?

Make it happen, people. NTNB. Clear the slate and start again, GOP and DNC. Voters write in and tell us how. And a reminder to the MAGA people: You can have Trump or the White House. You can’t have both. The American people have spoken.
