Nuetral?

In this article Jeff writes

"PDJT is a flawed candidate"...do you know how many times I have read statements like this from never trumper republicans?

He is NOT neutral when he makes statements like this.

I agree. It goes without saying that Trump is a flawed candidate. DeSantis is a flawed candidate. Every candidate has flaws.

There is good, bad and ugly in every person, candidate and you just have to hope you draw the long straw.

I agree he is flawed but so is DeSantis and every single one of us. He stated the obvious, I think. This is the first time, I think, that he has made comments leaning one way vs another. He told us in the beginning he wouldn’t endorse one over the other (yet). But, again, it IS his platform and research and writing. Should that disqualify him from stating his opinion? We don’t have to agree with his opinion. I don’t necessarily agree with it. I was just saying I didn’t think he deserved to get jabbed (not in the vax sense 😉) for revealing his opinion. I appreciate things you comment on as well. You have made good points along the way. And, I agree that all these politicians are lawyers and that’s not good either. You bring up valid points about that in another comment. But, Jeff seems to be one of the good lawyers and I appreciate that. And I don’t lump him in with the corrupt ones.

I totally respect Jeff's opinions and feel he has the right to make any comments he wants. And I totally trust him as a good and moral person, lawyer or not. (I have a son who is an attorney, and he's definitely one of the good guys!) It's natural, being from Florida and fighting with DeSantis as he has, that he would feel positive towards him. But this forum is an opportunity to debate these subjects, and those of us looking at the race from outside Florida (or from inside Florida!) may have other thoughts, and it's important to be able to express these. We all have different resources and ways we find out information, and I want to hear opinions of others who have access to different media or who just have a different way of looking at this campaign.

Everyone is flawed. We are human. I remember the election vividly, I had just had a baby. I was devastated, felt like the scales were coming off my eyes and I saw for the first time how evil our government is. Almost went to DC on January 6’th, thank God I didn’t. But Trump has issues, he gave federal funding to states who shut down (they could not financially have done this without him), he accelerated the vaccine process and has NEVER admitted he was wrong, he allowed Pence and Fauci to control the COVID response when he had the control to raise other physicians to that place. How can you not realize he is flawed? You can support Trump and still see that he made MANY mistakes. For the most part the wheels came off the bus when he was faced with COVID

You see "many mistakes".

I see PDJT lifting the curtain odious DC plutocrats that he did not have the power to remove.

The President is not a dictator that can do whatever he wants.

He exposed the rotten apples in DC and around the country.

WRONG.

Congress , with a DEM/RINO CONTROLLED CONGRESS, passed the COVID Trillion dollar blue state giveaway. Had PDJT vetoed it , it would have been overriden.

Well maybe he should have vetoed it then?

Havta agree! Not a neutral statement.

“Jeff has stayed pretty neutral with this subject, in my opinion.”

Just to clarify, I did not say that particular statement was neutral. In the context of what I said, I was taking about how everyone in the comments voices their opinions and Jeff has stayed pretty neutral with this subject. This subject has been ongoing for years in many of his articles. I wasn’t meaning in todays substack article only. Then I continued by asking why it was wrong for him to voice an opinion finally. Anyway. It’s not a big deal. I just wanted to clarify so there was no misinterpretation of what was said, and no misunderstandings. That happens a lot with a keyboard.
