Will A True Republican Please Stand Up
Former Chairman of the Republican Town Committee (RTC) and Greenwich resident
Dan Quiqley decided to weigh in on the state of current affairs in a recent
op-ed to the Greenwich Free Press.
QUIGLEY: It’s Time To Step Aside, Mr. President Read
Quigley sets
the tone of his op-ed by immediately stating, “For months, Americans have been
resigned to the fact that they are stuck with two largely unfavorable and
particularly old candidates for President.”
We’re not
sure if Quigley has really been following politics on the national stage or
this is simply a case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Apparently, he has created
this “bubble” and insulated himself from the reality we all see.
While it’s
true that Biden has been declining, let alone having implemented his disastrous
policies, the same can’t be said of former President Trump. Under Trump’s
administration, the economy was prosperous, crime was down, the border was
secured, inflation was low, gas and food prices were low and on the world
stage, he kept America safe, projecting strength through peace. On the other
hand Biden, or whomever is actually running the country, has America inching
closer to a world war and enacted policies that have allowed millions of
illegal aliens to invade the country. He has also driven up inflation, the cost
of basic groceries and gas and has made wokeness a centerpiece of his
administration.
Last
Thursday’s nationally televised debate between Biden and Trump clearly proves
that Trump has his cognitive and reasoning abilities intact. Biden’s
performance was dismal to say the least, as Democrats, the media Americans and
the world saw firsthand.
Quigley goes
on to say, “The rematch between an unpopular former President and an unpopular
incumbent have left a significant number of voters on both sides dissatisfied
with their choices.” We’re not sure where Quigley is getting his numbers from,
but we can tell you That Trump’s polling numbers are soaring, even in most
swing states, not to mention some blue states are now in play. Biden is polling
unfavorably in almost every poll, even a recent leaked Democrat poll that shows
Trump would handily win in November.
Trump polls favorably even with traditionally left leaning organization.
Quigley’s
assertion that “…a state of inertia with polls reflecting a statistical dead
heat” couldn’t be more biased. Tens of thousands of Americans attend Trump’s
rallies at each venue whereas Biden will barely muster a few hundred on a good
day. Of course, if he’s tuning in to media outlets like CNN and MSNBC, where
video clips and photographs show a “packed” venue, then perhaps he should start
looking for alternative news outlets.
Quigley
appears nervous about a potential Trump return to the White House. He suggests
that Democrats replace Biden as the party’s nominee, especially after the
disastrous debate. We find it odd that a Republican is so concerned with making
sure the Democrat Party finds a replacement to challenge Trump. True
Republicans should be embracing Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee. Instead,
Quiqley wants to reinforce the unjust persecution of a political opponent by
reminding us that Trump was impeached twice and has recently become a
“convicted felon.” We’re pretty sure he also believes that Trump orchestrated
the January 6 “insurrection.” Repeating this nonsense over and over again will
not change the minds of voters who support Trump. In fact, poll numbers
indicate that more African-American and Latino voters are swinging toward
Trump. Even some Democrats see this for what it is and will vote for him. Trump
resonates with the people and this is the problem that Quigley and the establishment
Republicans have.
Quigley is
very concerned with Biden’s legacy because, “If stepping aside were to lead to
a second defeat of Mr. Trump it would cement his place in history in the eyes
of many Americans.” He even goes so far as to suggest Michigan Governor
Gretchan Whitmore (D) and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D) be considered
as replacements citing their youth and popularity. Apparently, Quigley’s biggest
concern is that “…Independent and Undecided voters as well as disenfranchised
Republicans who will not vote for Mr. Trump and who have grave concerns about
the President’s physical and cognitive ability.” Whatever the outcome, Biden
will be leaving a legacy of fraud, senility, weaponization of government and
the legal system, skyrocketing cost of living and open borders just to name a
few. Is this the legacy Quigley is talking about?
The only
disenfranchised voters are the ones that are routinely called “extremists,”
right wingers,” and “deplorables.” These very names continue to be used by
various Greenwich elected officials and some members on the current RTC. The
very same principled Republicans who helped secure an across the board win in
the 2023 municipal elections. Is this their brand of unity? Is this what
Quigley supports and endorses?
The obvious
question we have is when is Quigley going to finally change parties and
register as a Democrat? If it moves like a Democrat, acts like a Democrat, then
it must be a Democrat.
Perhaps
Quigley would like to step down off of his perch and take the opportunity to
publicly endorse Trump or does he prefer to live within the swamp?
We truly
hope a cure is found soon for Trump Derangement Syndrome. The effects can be
devastating.
