Fur years ago I ran to become a delegate to the Republican National Convention (and failed) for the sole purpose to help nominate any Republican candidate other than Donald Trump....
This year I am again voting for Trump. But this time I’m doing so proudly and without any hesitation.
When Trump won in a stunning upset, I made a conscious decision on just how I would evaluate his presidency. I would judge him solely, yes, I said solely, on what he did, not what he said.
Specifically, I would judge him on what he put his signature to — legislative bills that would turn into law, executive orders and judicial appointments. And I would not judge him for the way he acted, what he said or anything he tweeted...
Most Americans don’t think about the yardstick by which they will measure a future president, or any elected official. I strongly recommend you think about the criteria you’ll use going forward, for if you don’t, the media will impose their...
If the left can’t bring themselves to give Trump credit for his reduction of our military morasses, you’d think they could recognize his criminal justice and sentencing reform.
His HUGE unseen success is in the massive deregulatory efforts as his administration calmly untangles decades of choking rules....
To Colorado he brought the Bureau of Land Management and the Space Force.
His most lasting policy impact will be originalist judges, and judges and more judges....
Jon Caldara is president of the Independence Institute, a free market think tank in Denver.

Why It’s Important for Trump to Win, by Kevin MacDonald, Unz Review, October 21, 2020:
... Whatever you think of Trump’s actual performance, the fact is that throughout the campaign and since taking office the media and pretty much the entire left has been labeling him a Nazi and White supremacist (I wrote 5 articles for Vdare on this). And it’s continued, even into the recent presidential debate and the town hall hosted by Savannah Guthrie....
The practical result was that Trump’s victory has had the effect of mobilizing the left.
And because this was framed from the beginning as a contest between the forces of good (our glorious multicultural future) versus evil (the “White supremacist” American past being promoted by the Orange Nazi in the White House), anything was justified...
The result is a level of political polarization not seen in this country probably since the Civil War. But the polarization is what had to happen for any possible movement in the direction of the dissident right. The absolute worst thing would have been another Hillary-vs.-Jeb-type election where America keeps sleep-walking to Armageddon....
The hatred for White America that has been so obviously directed against activists on the dissident right is inevitably seeping through to “just plain White folks.” The hatred will only intensify when Whites have less power. And this means that the racialization of politics that we have emphasized so much here will accelerate....
If the left wins they will go into end-game mode. They will establish a more-or-less permanent hegemony (via massive surge in legal and illegal immigration, amnesty to illegals and Dreamers, adding Puerto Rico and D.C. as states, and packing the Supreme Court). A Democrat victory would mark the end of the First and Second Amendments and likely lead to eventually locking up dissidents, as is already the case in Europe. There is now a rich body of academic literature by leftist academics (but I repeat myself) on reining in speech related to diversity....
With enough of a mandate, the Biden-Harris administration would also get rid of the Electoral College...
A Democrat victory would speed up the transformation of the educational system. Already, Critical Race Theory, which is basically anti-White hatred and guilt-tripping, has a strong foothold in the public schools and corporations....
On the other hand, another Trump victory would cement the populist wing of the party, where opposition to immigration is a major issue....
