Reflections on the Trump Triumph
I first voted for president in 1972–for Richard Nixon. If I’d been eligible in 1960, I would have voted for JFK over Nixon due to his vision and policies (despite his infidelities).
God nudged me to write a book on the 1976 election. Shirley and I cried when Ronald Reagan lost in the primary. We rejoiced four years later when Reagan launched a revolution called “Morning in America.” We were in the crowd near the Capitol Building when he was sworn in on January 20, 1981.
In ten subsequent national elections we voted, prayed, dealt with angst, and felt encouragement in various years. Elections can be like yo-yos (do they still use that name?), but remain amazing tools of free governments to make minor or major societal course corrections.
The day after the Trump Red Wave, here are my reflections on the historic 2024 race.
Two Paramount Issues
As we head into the final forty day stretch of the U.S. elections cycle, ads are being run everywhere before the American public on the “issues that matter.”
In my previous column, I compared Vice President Harris and former President Trump on ten important policies that greatly affect our future. The positions of the two candidates on these issues heavily favor voting for President Trump. His policies will improve the lives of everyday Americans and make the world a safer place.
But there are two paramount issues that stand above all else. They are the pillars of any great society.
