Election

One year until the next presidential election and the list of the hopefuls is increasing with leaps and bounds. As far as I understand if the current president wants to run there would be no opposition from his party, which in this case is the Democratic Party. However even some democrats accept the fact that this president is not good and there are already a few candidates surfaced.

On the other hand on the republican side the list is growing by leaps and bounds. Some of the wannabees are known some are not. But this little unimportant fact does not scare them away from announcing their intention to become the leader of the free world. 

I don't understand how this system works. I know that to campaign cost money. As far as I know none of them is independently wealthy as Trump who can finance his own campaign. Actually that was exactly what he did back in 2019-2020. He was so much in the news that he did not need to pay for advertisements. But these candidates need money to go on. So, who is throwing money into the well? Because most of them must realize that they have no chance in hell to vin. Not the nomination and certainly not the election.

So is this just a political game, playing with our minds? And later on they turn their support to a larger candidate along with the votes of their believers? There are two major candidates, Trump and Desantis and time will tell who will come out on top. Desantis is a governor. Not known outside of Florida no matter how much he campaigns. He is also pretty radical and many people will not like his ways. Trump, well is Trump. There is nothing more to say.

No matter how much dirt they dig up about him his popularity keeps growing. His campaign chest is filled, he can campaign all he wants. They can tie him to the January 6 fiasco, they can say he took home classified documents, they can say he "raped" women. These things will not change people's mind if they want to vote for him. None of these have any effect on his presidency.

If I want to vote for him no New York Times, police union or any trade union will change my mind.
