“It is over…[Biden] is the legitimate President of the United States.” Lindsey Graham (R-SC) “The voters, the courts, and the states have all spoken…If this election were overturned by mere allegations from the losing side, our democracy would enter a death spiral.” Mitch McConnell (R-KY) “There is no evidence of significant fraud, conspiracies, or even […]

Some Republicans on the 2020 Election Results

Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” Pilate’s question is still the […]

Shifting Ohio and G.O.P. Politics
14 Dec 2020
Since 1964, Ohio had always voted for the winning presidential candidate. In 2020, that streak stopped, with Donald Trump winning the Buckeye State 53.3% to 45.2%.* This could be a one time thing, but I doubt it. Just as Republicans have dominated the state’s politics in recent history, so are they beginning to control presidential […]

The G.O.P. in Crisis?
03 Dec 2020
President Trump continues to insist he won the 2020 presidential election. Courts, so far, disagree. While many of Trump’s allegations are aired on Twitter, he has also found platforms on FoxNews and other outlets. In his most recent interview with Maria Bartiromo, Trump said not only the election was rigged, but the F.B.I. and D.O.J. […]

Election 2020: Two Weeks after.
18 Nov 2020
Just two weeks ago I woke up seeing what looked like a surprising Donald Trump victory start to slip away. I always thought it would come down to Pennsylvania, but I really thought he would pull off Michigan and certainly Georgia. I also thought that AZ was called too early, and that Mr. Trump had […]

How we win on Election Day
02 Nov 2020
Most people I know are pretty anxious about this week, with the election as well as possible reactions to election results (or lack of results). Given it’s in both parties’ interest to suggest the end of the world if the other side wins, it’s not surprising that the level of angst is amped up around […]

Trump is Still Unfit
30 Oct 2020
In Nov. 2016, I blogged about my “Trumpotheses,” which were my own core beliefs about leadership as applied to Donald Trump’s oncoming presidency. They were: Experience Matters. Leaders with practical experience in their field perform better than those without such experience. Character Matters. Leaders with strong character (defined as truthfulness, integrity, fairness, and consistency) are […]

Election 2020: How to Square the Circle
27 Oct 2020
Four years ago, we questioned, to the effect, of “how did it come to this?” How were we left with a choice of a very corrupt Hillary Clinton and a vulgar Donald Trump? While extending the Obama administration (effectively) with a Clinton presidency was unthinkable, voting for Mr. Trump would mean an effective endorsement of […]

Less than two weeks to election day, and then the real insanity begins (of the contesting of the results)! So it really is getting time for me to decide who to vote for. Yes, there really are undecided, and I’m one of them. It’s not that there is a possibility of me voting for Mr. […]

Just leave the U.S.?
18 Oct 2020
Not surprisingly, we’re seeing the same virtue signaling as 2016, with cultural elites suggesting if Mr. Trump wins, they’ll leave the U.S. Now the temptation is to say “good riddance” and there is a reason to encourage that. Look, if you’re unhappy in this country, there are many others that might accept you. Consider one, […]
