[@oldsoldier181]

The choice was, continue down the road we are going-a road where 80% of Americans think we are on the wrong track, and one that Harris not only had a hand in, but would CONTINUE to do-or, change gears. Two prime concerns on people's minds for this election, were the economy, and illegal immigration. Harris campaigned on race and sexual ambiguity. I wholly agree that $16 BILLION is far too much to spend. And, the Harris campaign outspent the Trump one by almost 3x as much. This election wasnt about Trump. It was about the promise of-and utter failure by-a party that lied to the American public (fauci, Milley, Newsom, etc), a media that was complicit in that lie (covering up for Bidens dementia for YEARS), a party that promised peace and prosperity, but brought us a recession and a possible world war (thanks Biden for authorizing US weapons to be fired at Russia!!), and a divisiveness we havent seen since the 1860s. THAT is why Trump won. YOU need to come to grips with it. NOT us. The oligarchy has fallen.

Since I didn't speak with you then, I'm sure I made an impression. ;-) It was well worth the delay just to see the USO troupe. Robin Williams and Lance Armstrong sat toward the front of the plane on my side, so I didn't get to see much of them, but Lewis sat between Kid Rock and Miss USA (I can't remember her name to save my life). Watching them for the duration of the flight seemed to give an insight into their personalities. Kid Rock listened to music nonstop on his portable device, occasionally pointing out something on it to Lewis. Lewis read through one news magazine after another. And Miss USA sat there looking straight ahead the entire flight. lol I still have the photos they all graciously signed for everyone on board. Good times, even in Afghanistan.
