Democrats used to run on policy, jobs, working class, etc. Watch a debate over the past twenty years, it'll fly by in a mention, but they've allowed social issues be their prime platform. Not that those things don't matter, but they're the ones who say race and sexuality shouldn't matter, but it's all the talk about, more than jobs. Look at this past election, and even some in these midterms, they can't talk about nothing but trump, gays, and racism. I don't care if they're black, gay, whatever, what is their stance on things that will help out country? Biden picked Harris, not for qualifications, but a woman, and a minority was his goal. Same thing for his supreme court pick, not on her record as a judge, but on the color of her skin. I don't care that she's black, but that's all that the left seems to care about. I know, tldr, jmo, twss 🤣

Do you think the Ds of the past who ran on jobs, working class, etc did anything to address those campaign promises or do you think it was the sales pitch to get elected?

Political thinking - Antonin Scalia (taken far too soon), Thomas Sowell and Teddy Roosevelt.

Actual living politician - probably closest notable one today is Desantis. Would be nice if we could add Reagan's charm to Desantis's brass knuckles but its what's available. He has a lot of Trump's fighting spirit but has a much better grip on the mechanics of how to manage government. Even so, he has not been as fully tested yet and on foreign policy I am not sure what he would do.

Mostly like many politicians, all talk. I do believe there were some like my former teacher who sincerely cared about the people where they were from, and wanted to help. Same with some Republican politicians I'm sure, they are a few with sincere intentions, I believe that, but they get overshadowed by the idiots we see on TV.

I dont know if I agree with everything he says and he is not quite a William F Buckley but Jason Whitlock brings the heat.

And pecan pie a la mode is the best IMO.

1. Who is/are the current political figure(s) (elected, formerly elected, or running as candidate in elections) who most closely align with your own political ideology?

Thomas Sowell

2. Who are the public figures , living or dead (authors, bloggers, thinkers, entertainers, political show hosts, deceased politicians etc), who do a great job of representing your views on how American politics should function?

Bruce Willis ("I'm sick of answering this [explicative removed] question. I'm a Republican only as far as I want a smaller government, I want less government intrusion. I want them to stop [explicative removed]ing on my money and your money and tax dollars that we give 50 percent of every year. I want them to be fiscally responsible and I want these [explicative removed] lobbyists out of Washington. Do that and I'll say I'm a Republican. I hate the government, OK? I'm apolitical. Write that down. I'm not a Republican")

3. Lastly, how many of you like pie and what is your favorite pie (even though this isn't a poll)?

key lime
