LETTER: Trump is toxic to Republicans in 2024

I’m a conservative-leaning Libertarian. In voting for 60 years, I have never knowingly voted for a liberal/Democrat. I loved most things Donald Trump accomplished in his four years. But if the supporters of Mr. Trump renominate him to run against Joe Biden in 2024, I’m afraid the Republican Party will go down to defeat again. Why?

Mr. Trump is hated by most swing voters, most of the media, academia and most Democrats. Republicans need the swing voters in this country to vote for their nominee. If it’s Mr. Trump, that’s not happening. Mr. Trump has not said or demonstrated one thing to convince swing voters or win them over. His demeanor and attitude fail to deter this hatred. He doesn’t know how to apologize and recognize he has made mistakes. He can boast about his record for four years in office — draining the swamp, closing the borders, reducing regulations, etc. — but that alone will not get him re-elected.

Mr. Trump strutting around at a full venue of supporters I believe gives him a false sense of the country’s support. Receiving more donations to his campaign does the same thing. He needs way more voters than that. So, Trump supporters, please vote for another Republican on the ticket or face another four years of Biden/Harris. Trump cannot win.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
