I'm constantly marveling at Trump's luck as a politician. He only won in 2016 because he ran against one of the Democrats' weakest candidates. In 2024 he ends up running against someone even weaker.
He lost the popular vote by almost 3 million after the FBI Director interfered in the election at the last moment. He got a massive assist and won on a technicality.
And luck that Democrats have a fairly longstanding belief in putting or maintaining conservative Republicans in positions of intelligence, law enforcement, and economic advising.
Got to show all Americans that we are above all this petty partisanship and have full faith that our dear, beloved, honored, respected, treasured Republican colleagues on the other side of the aisle should help us govern.
That's to the extent that Democrats don't actually hold the intellectual position that conservatives are inherently better at law enforcement, intelligence, military, and economic positions, which I think is actually quite often the belief. Now, excuse me while I blow a hole in my foot again.
