Francis X. Suarez

I saw a blurb on the internet yesterday where pollster and former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway is promoting Francis X. Suarez, the 45-year-old mayor of Miami, Florida, as a potential GOP presidential nominee in 2024 - and apparently Mayor Suarez is giving that prospect serious consideration.    That would bring to three the number of Floridians chasing the front door keys to the White House.

Suarez would be an interesting choice.  Not only is he young, he is also dynamic and extremely popular with voters.  

Although Mayor Suarez is of Cuban descent, he was born in Miami, and is, in fact, the first native of that city to ever become mayor.  Suarez has won election twice as mayor, once with 86% of the vote and a second time with 78 percent - a clear indication that residents of his city like him and think he is doing a good job for them. Detracting from his appeal would, of course, be the deep and pervasive bigotry toward racial and ethnic minorities within the Republican Party.

I also read yesterday that Kellyanne might have had an ulterior motive in promoting a candidacy by Suarez, and that her true purpose in encouraging him to run would be for Suarez to become known on the campaign trail and then be available as a running mate for 280-pound Trump to be able to lean on as he tries to waddle back into the White House.

If Francis Suarez chooses to run for President, I hope that he is able to do it on his own terms and can stay clear of that stream of human sewage that is always swirling around Trump.  Kellyanne Conway would be a good first person for candidate Suarez to avoid.

Just sayin' . . .

Francis X. Suarez should avoid not only Kellyanne Conway, but any GOP convention that fails to adopt a platform. Of course, Republicans couldn't adopt a platform in 2020 because their agenda was so radical no sane American would have voted for them.

Whatever their addiction, I suspect they are addicted to hating people different from themselves, they will have to lose more elections before they hit bottom.

The current House GOP spin doctors think they can blame turning America into a deadbeat nation on Joe Biden. America pays its bills. Refusing to pass a clean debt ceiling bill is in the hands of the House Republicans, not Joe Biden. All but the brand-new House Republicans voted for spending. Now they don't want to pay the bill.

Francis X. should avoid this circus.
