Garland will do whatever Garland is going to do. He’ll probably make Democrats happy. If Garland does indict Trump, there may be a sigh of relief among independents thinking they’ve heard the last of Trump. But wait, here comes the trial, independents get saturated with more and more Trump as the trial continues, exactly what they didn’t want. The two words independents, in fact most Americans didn’t want to hear in 2022, COVID and Trump. How this plays out among independents is anyone’s guess.

Will independents be happy that soon Trump will be a word they may never hear again after the trial? Or will they be mad as all get out for the indictment and trial putting Trump’s face and name in front of them 24/7? If this happens prior to the midterms, one or the other, happy or mad may have a significant bearing on how independents vote.

The fact is most independents don’t understand the fixation Democrats have with Trump. He’s gone, no longer in charge, no longer president, forget about him. Try to solve the inflation problem which is hurting them much more than anything else, more than any other issue, focus on solving inflation and to Hades with Trump and any other issue. Make it possible to put food on the table today, gas in the car to go to work, put a roof over their heads, etc.

If it weren’t for Trump, the GOP would be on their way to a huge red wave. Democrats ought to be thanking Trump every night as he is the main cause for the Democrats having limited losses this midterm. Let me sum this up, Trump is the past, the midterm results are the future and they have repercussions beyond November. What happens to Trump won’t. For me, the midterms are the priority, the future. Trump is way down on my list even if he makes my list, he’s the past. I acknowledge he happened, but my focus is on the future.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
