And thank you, Peter, for another excellent political analysis. (“Tour de farce “ - LOL)

The use of Secretariat as a metaphor for Trump’s commanding lead is so good that Trump’s campaign manager should employ it. If anyone reading this has access to forward the idea to Team Trump, please do so!

Slightly off topic, but a question, Peter. Trump has indicated that your Governor Abbott is being considered for the Vice Presidential slot. On the one hand, he may be just the guy who could solve the border crisis from the office of the VP, but on the other hand, he may be needed more in Texas. As a Texan yourself, what are thoughts on Abbott as VP?

Unanimous decision! The Supreme Court decides that Congress should decide, not the states. A dastardly attempt to weaponized the Constitution against voters’ right to decide has been thwarted!
